Set back from the road.
Keller’s best homes sit well back from the street, on deep lots under old trees. We design their technology the same way: unhurried, and out of sight.
Built for the setback
Keller’s own code asks for it. Its largest-lot district calls for lots of 36,000 square feet, 140 feet wide and 200 deep, with a front yard of at least thirty-five feet — sixty on a thoroughfare — to keep what the code calls “greater setbacks with characteristics of semi-rural areas.” There is room for a horse to the acre.
North of Johnson Road, most of the city is built that way, and Keller’s plan sets out to keep it. Its tree ordinance prohibits clear-cutting, so the oaks stay too.
The length of the drive
On a lot that deep, the drive is a room of its own. It wants light that leads you in, a gate or a camera that knows who is arriving, and a network that reaches the shop, the pool and the back fence two hundred feet from the street. We design it all as one system, with the house.
What it takes
Landscape lighting for the long approach.
The drive, the oaks and the façade, lit to read from the street and from the porch.
A network for the whole lot.
Coverage to the shop, the pool and the far fence line, managed as one secure network.
Security from the street in.
Cameras, gates and access control from The Otium Group, Inc — Security Division, monitored around the clock by a UL-Listed central station.
Light and shade inside.
Lutron lighting and motorized shades on the west glass, where the Texas sun is hardest.
One system.
Control4 ties it together. Goodnight closes the gate, arms the house and walks the landscape down to accent light.
Up the road
A few miles up Highway 377 is Roanoke, which calls itself the Unique Dining Capital of Texas; its historic downtown is on the National Register. We work there too.
The Dream Home
We have been Fort Worth Magazine’s technology partner on its showcase homes since 2013 — including the 2013 Dream Home, the 2018 Home of Dreams, the 2019 Showcase Home, the 2020 Dream Street and the 2025 Dream Home.

Common questions
Do you serve Keller and Roanoke?
Yes. We design and install home technology across Keller and Roanoke, from our base in Fort Worth.
Can you light a long drive without making the house look like a commercial building?
Yes. Low path lights and a few uplit trees lead you in, and the façade gets only enough light to read from the street.
Can you network a shop or pool house at the back of a deep lot?
Yes. We run fiber or point-to-point wireless between buildings and manage everything as one secure network.
Can you take over an existing system?
Yes. We take over existing Control4 and Lutron systems, keep the wiring and hardware that is sound, and re-document everything.
