For the trade
Learn it over lunch.
We host continuing-education sessions and lunch-and-learns for architects, interior designers, and builders, on how technology should be planned into a luxury home from the first drawing. In your studio, or in our Armonk space.
An hour that saves the project weeks.
The best time to plan the technology is before the walls close, and the best people to plan it with are the ones drawing the house. We bring a short, useful session to your team: no sales pitch, no product parade. Just what a modern luxury home needs, where it has to go, and how to keep it out of sight, so the coordination is done on paper instead of on site.

Credit where accredited
Sessions are built to a continuing-education standard; where the course is accredited, we handle the credit paperwork for your team.
Sessions
What we can cover.
A starting set. Each can be shaped to your discipline, whether you draw the house, design the rooms, or build it.
Designing technology in, not on
How to plan chases, backboxes, keypad locations, and power at schematic, so the systems disappear into the architecture instead of being bolted on at the end.
Lighting and the tunable day
Layered lighting, full-spectrum and circadian light, and how automated shading and daylight work together. What to specify, and where the wiring has to go.
One platform for the whole home
What a unified control system actually does, how scenes are built, and how lighting, shade, climate, audio, video, and energy come together on Savant.
The invisible layer: networks and infrastructure
Why the network is the foundation, what a home really needs, and how to leave room for it in a plan without over-building.
Outdoor living, after dark
Landscape lighting, outdoor audio, and weatherproof video, and how to coordinate them with the landscape architect and the hardscape.
Energy and resilience
Battery storage, intelligent panels, and backup power with Savant Power, and how to plan for them early on a luxury project.
Who it's for
Built for your discipline.
Architects planning the shell, interior designers protecting the finish, and builders holding the schedule each get a version tuned to what they need from us, and what we need from them.
