There’s no single light fixture that can do it all. The most functional, beautiful, and comfortable homes and businesses are those where lighting is intentional -- designed in layers that serve the way people live.
For architects, builders, and interior designers working on custom homes, layered lighting should be baked into your plan from the start. So, what does that look like in practice?
Now is the perfect time for homeowners to consider upgrading their media rooms in preparation for gatherings with family and friends. Whether you’re hosting movie marathons, game-day watch parties, or casual evenings in, a well-equipped media room can elevate every experience.
Upgrades to consider include enhanced surround sound, larger projection screens, improved seating, and smart lighting that sets the perfect mood. Integrating intuitive controls ensures a space that’s easy to use for guests and hosts alike.
Let’s explore the possibilities.
As temperatures drop on the mainland, many homeowners begin preparing to return to their second homes in Hawaii. Property managers play a critical role in this transition, ensuring their clients’ homes are secure and ready.
Remote access control systems allow these managers to monitor and manage entry points without needing to be physically present. From granting access to cleaners and maintenance crews to receiving alerts for unexpected activity, these systems offer real-time visibility and control.
Integrated with cameras, lighting, and alarms, they streamline property oversight and reduce risks while homes are unoccupied.
Here, we’ll explore the essential features to look for in these systems and why more property managers throughout the islands are turning to this technology to support their clients and make their lives a little easier.
Hawai’i is a dream destination, but it doesn’t come without its share of issues threatening to ruin the laid-back island lifestyle. Power bills keep climbing, outages happen more often, and even those proactive enough to add solar panels don’t get as much out of them as they’d hope.
The problem is that most homes handle energy like they did 50 years ago: passively waiting for whatever the grid delivers, then scrambling when it fails. Savant Power is a better alternative to power your modern luxury home.
It connects solar panels, backup batteries, and generators into one coordinated network that automatically adapts to changing conditions. Instead of leaving energy management to chance, you get the intelligence to cut costs, boost efficiency, and maintain power when the grid fails.
