Outdoor Living, as Connected as Your Home

Music, film, light and control, extended to the terraces, pools and gardens beyond your walls.

Outdoor technology integration carries the music, film, lighting and control of the home out to its terraces, pools and gardens, for Los Angeles residences where so much of life happens outside. All of it is weather-ready, balanced across the property and quietly concealed in the landscape.

Three layers of light, one evening.

Path lighting makes the garden safe to walk, uplighting lifts the planting and stone, and the full scene brings the house into view. One property, one view, three moments.

Outdoor audio and landscape lighting, designed together.

The two disciplines at the heart of Outdoor Living, each with its own page.

Outdoor Audio

Landscape speakers and subwoofers placed for even, balanced music across lawns, terraces and pool decks.

  • Speakers that disappear into planting and architecture
  • Weather-resistant equipment made for outdoor living
  • Music by area, at the right level for each space
  • Played from your phone, a keypad or your voice

Landscape Lighting

Architecture, planting, paths and water drawn gently out of the dark, with scenes that change as the evening does.

  • Uplighting for facades, trees and stonework
  • Path, step and pool lighting for moving safely after dark
  • Scenes for dining, relaxing and entertaining
  • Set on a schedule, or with a single touch

    Deliver

    Every scene commissioned, a personal walkthrough, then concierge care.

How it works with the rest of the home.

Every system in the home is designed with the others in mind. These are a few of the everyday moments where they meet.

Sunset on the terrace

As the light goes, the garden and pool lighting rise softly and the music follows you outside, from speakers hidden in the planting. One touch sets the whole terrace for the evening.

Entertaining

One scene brings light, music and climate into balance for guests, indoors and out. As the evening drifts to the terrace, the music and the mood go with it.

Game day

The game fills the private cinema, while the same broadcast plays in the kitchen and on the screen by the pool. Every room and every source answers to one simple interface.

What do outdoor entertainment systems include?

Music, film, lighting and control, carried out to the terraces, pools and gardens. Landscape speakers and subwoofers bring balanced sound outside, weather-resistant screens bring film and sport, and lighting scenes draw the architectural, landscape, path, pool and accent lighting together. Networking and control are designed in, so it all works as one.

Will we see the speakers and equipment?

Very little of it, beyond a screen where you want one. The technology is quietly concealed in the landscape, and speakers and subwoofers are placed for even coverage, so the music is clear and balanced with no equipment to catch the eye.

How is everything controlled outside?

With a single touch. Scenes for dining, relaxing, entertaining or securing the property after dark set the lighting, the music and the screen together, from your phone, a keypad or your voice. The terrace answers to the same system as the rooms inside, so one scene can carry the evening indoors and out.

Do you work with our architect and landscape designer?

Yes. Every system is planned around the architecture, in step with your architect and designer. Outside, we plan lighting and sound alongside your landscape designer, so fixtures, speakers and wiring are resolved early, never added as an afterthought.

Who looks after the system once it is installed?

We do. We commission every scene, walk you through it and hand over complete documentation, and our concierge team then stays on to care for it. A Technology Support Membership adds 24/7 support and priority service, and many requests are resolved remotely, without waiting for a visit.
