The Residence Division

Estates, ranches, and tower residences — the finest homes in North Texas, designed as environments.

A new generation of estates is rising west of Fort Worth — and a new skyline of residences is rising over Dallas. We design the technology for both.

From Parker County ranchland to Turtle Creek high-rises, the residence work is the same discipline at different scales: lighting composed room by room, shades that track the sun, sound you hear but never see, security that watches quietly, and one interface over all of it. On estate and ranch properties, that discipline extends across the land itself — gate and perimeter systems, landscape lighting and audio across acreage, networks that reach the barn, the casita, and the end of a quarter-mile drive.

As the ultra-luxury corridor around Aledo takes shape — Bluejack Ranch, Maverick, Kelly Ranch — we are the technology design group already in the neighborhood: Fort Worth-based since 2004, working from the blueprint alongside your architect and interior designer. And for the tower residence downtown, we bring the same design language to glass-wall shading, acoustic privacy, and pied-à-terre systems you can run from anywhere. We accept a limited number of design commissions each year, and we build them to be lived with for decades.

Design My Home

What we design

Estate & Ranch Properties

Whole-property design — main house, guest house, barn, pool, gates, and grounds on one engineered system.

New Construction

From the architect’s first drawing set: full low-voltage design, prewire at the right stage, and systems that disappear into the architecture.

Tower Residences

High-rise shading for walls of glass, invisible audio, and quiet, secure networks for downtown and Turtle Creek living.

Whole-Home Scenes

Evening, Entertain, Cinema, Goodnight — the entire property changes state on one touch or on the clock.

Remodels & Takeovers

We inherit, document, and modernize existing systems — including homes whose original integrator disappeared.

Decades of Service

Founder-led, same phone number since 2004. The system is designed to be supported, and we are still here to support it.

Common questions

How early should we bring you into a new build?

At the plans stage — before the slab is poured. We engineer the full low-voltage design from your architect’s drawing set, so shade pockets, speaker placement, and wiring are part of the architecture instead of an afterthought. The second-best time is before drywall.

Where do you work?

We’re based in Fort Worth and serve Aledo and Parker County, Argyle, Westlake, Southlake, Colleyville, Highland Park, and Downtown Dallas — from ranch properties west of town to tower residences downtown.

Can you take over a system another company installed?

Yes. We inherit, document, and modernize existing systems — including homes whose original integrator disappeared. We keep what’s good, re-document every zone, and bring the system up to our standard.

Do you handle whole properties — guest house, barn, grounds?

That’s the point of estate work: main house, casita, barn, pool, gates, and grounds on one engineered system, with a network that reaches the end of a quarter-mile drive.
