Southampton’s Crescendo Designs specializes in full home automation by the Crestron System with luxury technologies at every turn. Everything from heat, lighting and blinds to the audio system and televisions are operated by the touch of a button.  Aesthetics are everything in a luxury home, therefore all outlets, keypads, HVAC grills and touch panels are flush mounted to the walls offering a modern look while keeping these functions very subtle in appearance.  Flat screen televisions are hidden behind artwork, underneath beds or embedded within mirrors, all of which may be revealed automatically through the home control system.

One of the first things I always do with clients is sit them down and discuss what their dreams and aspirations are for their home—what type of activities they dream of doing in their space, what they are trying to call into their life, etc. I have always designed around the belief that your home should reflect and nurture the lifestyle that you are aspiring to live. In essence…if you design it, it will come. This upper east residence was no exception.
