The Coats Residence

The Coats Residence

Challenge

While Rob lives and breathes for technology, Johnnas’ heart beats for Disney. Over the past 7 years, they have traveled to several Disney conventions, which has led to a beautiful collection of unique Disney collectibles. This collection has since taken a life of its own as the themes and stories of the pieces continued to grow, and eventually led to the creation of their Disney Room, a special place where these pieces could be showcased. Another unique feature in the Coats Residence is the wine corner. It shows the different wine areas where Rob and Johnna have been in the world and they even hired a professional painter to do the painting of the wine areas on the ceiling. The name of the wine areas is painted on glass. In-between there are LED strips to highlight the unique wine corners.

Solution

When planning their home, Rob and Johnna didn’t realize that intelligent heating and cooling control could be part of their smart home. Once Rob found Loxone, he loved the idea that the bedroom could be cooler for sleeping, while the bathroom next door would warm up in the morning right before he entered to get ready and dressed in the morning. To save energy, the cooling or heating stays off, when Rob and his wife aren’t at home, maximizing the energy efficiency of their smart home!

The homeowner Rob came across Loxone and had asked me to take a look the company. As I started digging through their website and learning about the company, the more and more I began liking what I saw. As, for Rob’s project, it was a unique and challenging project that turned out great. It’s definitely different from the other homes we did in the past, but I would say it’s the first project which is a real intelligent home. The way Loxone works is great and it’s easy to deploy and tunes to your lifestyle. It’s better than any other smart home products out there.
