Modern Illumination for a Timeless Masterpiece

Nestled in the Arizona desert, Taliesin West stands as a UNESCO World Heritage site and a living testament to Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural legacy. Originally built as his winter home and “living laboratory,” this historic site became a playground for Wright’s architectural experimentation, blending with its natural surroundings in Wright’s trademark style. Taliesin West embodies his philosophy of design in harmony with nature, making any updates to the property—especially in lighting—a careful balance between preservation and innovation. Working with Lutron, Wipliance was honored with the opportunity to bring the lighting for this historic home into the 21st century.

Advanced Lighting

This home is equipped with a fully automated lighting system that allows for seamless control over brightness, color, and scheduling. The homeowners will be able to create customized lighting scenes to match different moods or activities, such as dimmed lights for movie nights or bright, energizing lights for morning routines.

The lighting system is designed to be intuitive and responsive, adjusting automatically based on time of day, occupancy, or even natural light levels. This provides convenience and contributes to energy efficiency by ensuring that lights are only used when needed.

Top-Tier Smart Solutions

Moreover, the system is integrated with other smart home features, allowing it to work harmoniously with climate control, security, and entertainment systems. For example, lights can be set to turn on automatically when the security system is disarmed or to dim when the home theater is activated.
