Back in 2009 I started a thread that showed the installation of my Crestron Fiber DM system . In 2010 I posted in that thread I was upgrading to the DM 32x32. Well I never actually did that upgrade for a two reason. One, we decided to build a new house (20,000 sq.ft.) up in the local mountains and two, while the house is being built we needed to buy a townhouse here in Orange County to live in while our house is being built, also a place to stay when we visit OC and to use as a showroom. We do not have a stand-alone showroom. We use our house.
Fast forward to Summer of 2011, July to be exact, and we purchase the townhouse in OC which will be finished in October of 2011. We move-in in October of 2011 and we do some small renovations but due to holidays being right around the corner we plan the majority of the renovations to take place between January and June of 2012.
Before I start on the whole house Crestron upgrade thread let me explain my company to those who have not read the previous thread or who do not know who I am, since I am not a frequent poster on AVS. I own Digital Studio Werks (DSW) an Electronic Systems Architect firm that designs, engineers, installs and programs AV systems, lighting, HVAC, security and environment using Crestron exclusively for automation. Some of the other brands we carry are Kaleidescape, Digital Projections, Middle Atlantic, etc.
Besides owning DSW I also own an interior design firm that specializes in luxury interiors and just as DSW uses Crestron exclusively for automation my interior design firm uses Clive Christian exclusively. When we take on a job we do the interior design, lighting design, AV systems design and the Crestron integration. As I mentioned in the first paragraph, we use the townhouse as our showroom that shows how we integrate Clive Christian interiors with AV, lighting and automation. The townhouse will also be featured in an Architectural publication that I cannot mention by name yet. The publication will focus on the interior design and how traditional interior design integrates with modern technology.
Currently we renovating a brand new townhouse (6 months old) from top to bottom, it’s 3 stories and includes the following;
Master Bedroom & Bath
Office
Media Room
Great Room
Kitchen
4 Bathrooms
The office and media room were actually bedrooms each with their own full bathroom. We gutted the bedroom on the 1st floor and created a media room. The bedroom on the 3rd fl. is currently being gutted and renovated and will be the office. Both rooms have or will retain their full baths.
Now, on with the show.
We will be doing a complete residential remodel and automation project. Although we currently have the entire AV system up and running we will be doing a complete overhaul & upgrade of the Crestron system. This includes upgrading our DM system, adding a Crestron SONNEX whole house audio system, upgrading the control processor and all the touch panels. Before we start on the whole house AV system, we are starting with the “Environmental” part of the automation system. This will include Lighting, Shades, Drapes and HVAC.
We will start with replacing the electrical panel to a larger panel and adding additional circuits to support lighting, AV and other equipment. This is starting today and I will post pictures later this evening or tomorrow.
