Recently put the finishing touches on a new, custom home in Hermosa Beach. This is the fourth house that we have worked on for the owners.
Starting with the media room, we know the owner likes to go big. We ended up installing a Sony 98Z9G. That is the 100’ class Master Series 8K TV. This picture blows you away at how sharp the detail can get in a TV.
In the Family room, design and space were crucial as this is most used room in the house. It needed to have form and function. In order to fit an adequate sized TV, it had to be mounted over the fireplace, which is the focal point of the room. Viewing the TV at such a height can cause neck pains if viewed for a prolonged period. A motorized articulating mount was the solution. It easily tucks the TV up away from the walkway and then drops it to the perfect view height, all with a touch of a single button on the URC TRC-1480 remote.
Throughout the house, there are 7 zones of Sonos, including the master bathroom. In the master bath, we routed the TV audio through Sonos, to the in ceiling speakers. The TV audio will automatically take over the speakers whenever it is turned on, enhancing the sound to fill the space more than the small speakers on the TV itself.
Moving to the master bed, we did a simple flat wall mount in the bedroom and an articulating mount for a TV viewable from any where in the bathroom. In addition the the TV, we added a dedicated security monitor.
We also installed Lutron Radio Ra 2 lighting control. Lighting control allows the owner to define lighting scenes and then consistently recall those through the touch of one button. We programmed a vacation mode so that a “home alone” effect is achieved, lights coming on and going off in a realistic pattern.
If the lighting effect does not keep out intruders, the alarm system and camera system will. The security system notifications, along with central station, is sent to the owners phones. They will know right when something unexpected happens as well as simple things like when the front door is unlocked or the garage door is left open for too long. If something does unfortunately happen, the 4K cameras around the property will capture all that happens, with live footage and recorded clips being viewable around the world.
