Design meets Technology in New York

 Every inch of the home represents the very best in high-end design, interior furnishings and home entertainment technology – from the window wall in the foyer and the 103" plasma TV in the theatre room, to the clever storage solutions that hide the in-wall electronics. In addition to the theater room, Crescendo's new home features a bedroom, living room, simulated bathroom and outdoor area, as well as a working kitchen complete with chef-quality, stainless steel appliances.

A stand out feature of the home is a motorized lift that hides a flat screen television under a luxurious custom bed. The bed was designed with Savoir, a London-based firm regarded as the world's most luxurious sleeping system manufacturer and uses a Crestron home control system. A simple touch of a button is all it takes for the TV to come up from under the bed and lift to the perfect viewing height.

For the home office, Crescendo designed a Crestron-controlled automated television installation. When the TV is turned on, it automatically moves into the preset position facing the client's desk. With the press of a button on the remote, the TV will shift over and face the seating area. Once turned off, it retracts back into the wall so the client—and their office—can get back down to business.

Another Crescendo-designed system enables a client to turn virtually any living room into a theater room. With the press of a button on a Crestron control panel, the projector and screen lowers down from the ceiling while Lutron shade lowers to block the light from outside.
