The Challenge
Spire tasked Wipliance with outfitting the entire tower with smart shading solutions and offering upgrade packages to buyers. Additionally, we needed to design intuitive, user-friendly interfaces that would allow the building team to easily manage amenities.
The Goals
- Provide window treatments throughout the tower, in both amenity spaces and private residences
- Create a communal theater room for residents to enjoy
- In amenities spaces like the gym, add customized TVs that complement the design and hide wires
- Install touchpanels in common areas for staff and residents to interact with audio, shades, smart lighting and more
- Provide smart home upgrades for residents as a preferred partner
Our Approach
System designer Cameron Alavi worked with Laconia and Spire to create luxury and convenience in the heart of downtown Seattle. Wipliance installed over 3,700 Lutron shades throughout the tower, allowing residents to manage natural light with the press of a button.
An immersive Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision theater with an ambient light reduction screen and 4K projector is always available and full of cozy seating for movie nights. And can you imagine having this view from your morning workout at this gym?
Automated shades help prevent glare and keep it cool while preserving those incredible views. Several TVs with custom Leon Edge Media Frames add a classy touch from the automated parking garages all the way up to the entertaining and meeting spaces. A robust Control4 audio/video system allows residents and building management to easily dial in settings and create the perfect ambiance.
A note from our team:
"When we started this process two and a half years ago, there was no building. There were just drawings and plans. And so we needed to sit down with the developer and let them tell us a story: of how they wanted the spaces to be used, how they wanted people to interact with them, what kind of content there was going to be. And the fit and finish of the product needed to match the luxury of this building."
