"A spec home has to wow on day one and still leave roomfor the buyer's imagination. We lit the craftsmanship and wired the foundationso this one does both."
~Tyson Rabani, CEO, QAV
On 2.53 acres in Parker's Inspiration Point, with protectedopen space rolling out beyond the deck, Camerata Homes built a Modern Craftsmanestate worthy of the Colorado Parade of Homes. Soaring lodge beams, tongue andgroove ceilings, stone columns, and a great room that opens straight to thecountry. A home like this asks one thing of its technology: make thearchitecture look even better, and never get in the way. That was QAV's job.
Lighting led everything. QAV designed a layered lightingscheme that treats the architecture as the art it is. The great room's woodbeams are washed in warm light so the eye travels up them the way the architectintended. Flush, recessed egress lights trace the key pathways, beautifulunderfoot and quietly safe after dark. And throughout the home, the usual gangsof plastic rocker switches are simply gone. In their place are clean, elegantkeypads, simple enough for anyone to use on the first day, and far betterlooking on the wall.
Behind the walls, QAV did the part you cannot see but willbe grateful for. The home carries an extensive infrastructure foundation, theprewire for audio, video, networking, shades, and full automation in everyspace that matters. Nothing is locked in, and everything is ready. Whoevermakes this house their home will be able to do a tremendous amount with it,adding a theater, whole-home audio, motorized shades, or a fully automatedsmart home, without ever opening a wall.
And the groundwork is already smart. Integrated audio andvideo, LED accents that set the mood, and a video doorbell are in from thefirst day, tied into the same simple control as the lighting. The home ismove-in elegant and future-ready at once.
That is what earns a place in the Parade of Homes. Nottechnology for its own sake, but technology in service of a beautiful home. QAVgave this Parker estate a lighting design that flatters every beam, and afoundation that says yes to whatever the next owner can dream up. You willnever see the work. You will only feel the home.
