VINEYARD ESTATE

PROJECT SUMMARY:

This beautiful vineyard home is a fire rebuild in Sonoma County, completed in late 2020. It features three Lutron shade models integrated with Lutron QS lighting control and a Control4 automation system. This estate includes solar power generation with a smart battery back-up, a guest house, a pool with a grotto, outdoor audio-video systems including landscape speakers, a game room, cove lighting, five TVs, a wine cellar, a chef’s kitchen, a snack kitchen downstairs, and multiple gas fireplaces.

During the initial design, Summit worked closely with the customer and the general contractor, Total Concepts, to create a user-friendly smart home. The customer’s requirements included media systems with two home theaters, house music throughout, future-proof low-voltage infrastructure, an enterprise-class wired and Wi-Fi network, Lutron QS lighting control with motorized shades, outdoor surveillance, an intrusion alarm with monitored smoke detection and sprinkler flow. All systems are integrated using Control4, including lighting control, motorized shades, alarm, surveillance, HVAC, and a backup battery system. All systems are managed via on-wall iPads when at home and iPhones when remote.
