Remote Monitoring and Control
Since this is not the client’s primary residence, remote control was one of the top priorities. Most important was remote access to let in contractors or guests and surveillance to check in on the home anytime. As with most second homes, the client wanted seamless control to be able to jump in and enjoy their stay immediately.
Lighting Design
We also significantly improved the client’s lighting design. First, we retrofitted LED bulbs to the ceiling for a more modern aesthetic. Then, we focused on adding layers, primarily through the use of linear lighting. This lighting helped to highlight certain features—like coves and the wine fridge—and added functionality with fixtures above cabinets and under the bathroom’s vanity mirror.
Outdoor Living
Many people choose Scottsdale for their second homes because of the great outdoor weather. So, outdoor living was a big focal point, too. We added landscape audio to deliver stellar sound in the pool and BBQ area and included an outdoor-rated TV that is ultra-bright and designed to reduce glare. With these luxury solutions, the homeowner can enjoy their favorite movies at night or in the middle of the day.
