Luxury Smart Home Case Study
The Ultimate Smart Home – Hinckley, Ohio
In the rolling landscape of Hinckley, Ohio, this custom-built residence was designed with one goal in mind — to create the ultimate smart home experience without compromising architectural integrity.
From the earliest stages of construction, Xtend Technologies collaborated with the homeowner and design team to engineer a fully integrated technology ecosystem that would feel effortless, refined, and invisible.
Designed with Intention
A full complement of architectural lighting fixtures was installed throughout the home, including:
- Precision downlighting
- Integrated linear lighting
- Step and pathway lighting
- Decorative feature fixtures
Every fixture was carefully selected to complement the architecture while delivering proper illumination levels and layered ambiance.
The entire lighting system is controlled by a Lutron HomeWorks platform, paired with custom Palladiom keypads, providing elegant tactile control in every space. Lighting scenes were programmed to enhance daily living — from morning transitions to evening entertaining.
Simple Control at Your Fingertips
At the core of the residence is a fully integrated Savant smart home control system, designed to unify lighting, audio, video, and environmental systems into a seamless interface.
The Savant platform manages:
- 4K video distribution with tiling capabilities
- Distributed audio throughout the home
- Climate integration
- Lighting and shading control
- Unified system access from mobile devices and dedicated interfaces
Every system was engineered to work cohesively, ensuring intuitive operation without technical complexity.
See it. Hear it.
A centralized 4K video distribution system allows high-resolution content to be shared across multiple displays throughout the home, with tiling features available in select entertainment spaces.
Distributed audio was carefully tuned to deliver balanced, immersive sound in primary living areas, private rooms, and entertaining zones — all without visible clutter.
The result is entertainment that feels present — but never intrusive.
Unmatched Performance
A fully engineered custom home theater anchors the home’s entertainment offerings.
The theater includes:
- Comprehensive acoustic treatments
- A Dolby Atmos immersive sound system
- A 4K projection system from Sony
- A 130-inch projection screen
Every element — from speaker placement to room calibration — was designed for cinematic performance. The room delivers reference-level clarity and immersion, transforming movie nights into private premiere experiences.
Blends with the Architecture
What makes this Hinckley residence exceptional is not simply the technology — it is how seamlessly it integrates with the home’s architecture and interior design.
Lighting enhances form and texture.
Audio fills spaces without visible intrusion.
Control interfaces remain elegant and minimal.
Performance is immediate and reliable.
This project exemplifies Xtend Technologies’ design-first philosophy:
Technology should elevate the environment — not dominate it.
