Let There Be Custom Lighting in a Modern Connected Home

Imagine a modern residential design that is provocative, yet simple and minimal, and maintains elegance via traditional cues at the same time. This would be a tough mixture for any designer to balance. Yet, this is exactly what architect Robert Gurney of Robert Gurney Architect created with this modern brick home in Washington, D.C. With the design bar set so high, the technology in this home had to meet that bar perfectly. Enter Lutron Sivoia and Homeworks QS; these products combined engineering that works along with elevated aesthetics that blended seamlessly with the environment. By working with cutting-edge shade technology and intuitive control offered by the custom lighting ecosystem, Atlantic Control Technologies, over a two-year timespan, amalgamated all that into a functional, consistent and great-looking connected-home solution.

Modern residences often include a lot of glass, presenting challenges with control of sunlight and heat generation – and this 10,000-square-foot home was no exception. The unobtrusive, motorized window shades selected were the perfect solution to mitigate this potential energy consumption issue through the use of specially engineered fabric that offered the added benefit of fitting in seamlessly with the décor. The lineal boxes they rested in were finished to match the architectural finish of the home so when the shades retracted, they hid away neatly.


This system provides the owner with simple, flawless control – from anywhere in the world. The flexibility of the system to control a large quantity and range of wired and wireless devices and fixtures at the same time made it a standout. And the ability to provide automation through time clock settings and wireless connection to the available-anywhere app was an unparalleled tool as well. Atlantic Control Technologies was able to harness this control to create intuitive, consistent keypad layouts by selecting a keypad model that fit the look, feel and minimalism of the environment.
