Gig Harbor's Smart Home Integration Experts.
Canterwood · Waterfront · Key Peninsula · Uptown · Artondale. One of the most beautiful places to live in Washington — and one of the most demanding environments for smart home technology. Waterfront glass walls, panoramic views, and open-plan living require a different level of design thinking.
Waterfront Living Demands a Different Level of Integration
Floor-to-ceiling glass, panoramic Sound views, and open-plan great rooms are as beautiful as they are technically demanding. These are Gig Harbor-specific challenges that require a team who has actually worked here — and we have, from the downtown waterfront to Canterwood and the Key Peninsula.
Glare, Glass & View Management
Panoramic water views are the point — but direct western exposure creates serious glare and heat gain. We design shading that manages light intelligently all day.
- Motorized shades protecting screens and reducing heat load
- View preserved when it matters most
- Clara, PowerShades, and Lutron — PoE-powered
- Integrated with lighting scenes, not separate from them
Open-Plan Theater Acoustics
High ceilings and open great rooms plague standard installs with echo and bass problems. We engineer for the room geometry.
- Speaker placement calculated for open floor plans
- Architectural in-ceiling audio that disappears
- Zone calibration for immersive sound without echo
- Where we built our first AVA + Control4 integration
Multi-Level, Multi-Structure Coverage
Waterfront homes with detached garages, docks, and outbuildings need enterprise WiFi planning — not another mesh kit.
- Structured Cat6A with professional AP layouts
- Coverage to the dock and the outbuildings
- Ajax security with presence simulation for empty stretches
- No templated designs — every project starts from scratch
Every System. One Team. One Architecture.
Six disciplines designed together — by the same South Sound-based team. No subcontractors, no hand-offs.
Control4 Smart Home Automation
Whole-home systems for waterfront and view properties — invisible, reliable, and genuinely useful. Lighting, security, audio, shades, climate, and networking as one architecture.
Motorized Shades & Glare Management
Floor-to-ceiling glass and western exposure demand intelligent shading — Clara, PowerShades, and Lutron, PoE-powered, integrated with lighting scenes to protect screens and preserve the view.
Home Theater in Open-Plan Spaces
High ceilings and open great rooms are acoustically challenging — speaker placement, architectural in-ceiling audio, and zone calibration engineered for Gig Harbor floor plans.
Multi-Level Enterprise Networking
Waterfront homes with multiple floors, detached garages, docks, and outbuildings require enterprise WiFi planning — structured Cat6A with Ruckus and Alta Labs layouts.
Ajax Smart Security
Photo-verified intrusion, AI perimeter cameras, and 24/7 monitoring for properties that are often unoccupied for stretches — integrated with automation and presence simulation.
Smart Lighting
Keypads, circadian tuning, and scenes designed alongside shades for view properties — lighting that responds to the sun, the security system, and the way you live.
From the Waterfront to the Key Peninsula
Gig Harbor’s property diversity — waterfront, hillside, rural, suburban — means there’s no templated design that works for everyone. We start from scratch every time.
Downtown Waterfront & Old Town
Historic waterfront properties with premium profiles — glare management, outdoor audio, integrated security, and whole-home Control4 that disappears into the architecture.
Canterwood
Large homes with strong design sensibility — whole-home automation, dedicated theaters, and enterprise networking for homeowners who’ve done the research.
Uptown, Artondale & Key Peninsula
From Uptown suburban to Key Peninsula rural — multi-structure coverage, well-planned WiFi, and security designed for properties that sit empty for stretches.
