Palo Alto Home

The homeowner asked us to design and build their large renovation project on the Stanford Campus. There are over 240 wire pulls to accomplish the level of control, audio, security, lighting, and HD video this client desires.

The most intriguing aspect of this project is the lighting control system. To maintain the 1940s look we adopted replica “push-push” switches and integrated them with a state-of-the-art lighting control system. The result is an old-time look with modern conveniences. All of the lighting is California Title 24 compliant.
