What You Will Learn

Integrating technology and design isn’t just about combining the two; it’s about creating solutions that are not only functional but also intuitive, aesthetically pleasing, and tailored to meet the needs of users – so what are people putting in their homes? It’s inevitable that your client will add some sort of technology in after you have finished the project. Bring us on earlier and we can incorporate it, thoughtfully and discreet. By fostering a collaborative environment, we unite the vision of designers, technologists, and experts across disciplines. This synergy breeds innovation. It sparks ideas that challenge the status quo, resulting in products and services that are not just iterations but true revolutions in their respective fields.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize the technologies available to homeowners and design professionals for integration into a home.
  • Identify key coordination points between technology integrator and design professionals.
  • Determine ways to find qualified technology integrator, and the value they can bring to a residential project.
