Modern stone residence at dusk, with uplit facade and trees and lit steps rising across the lawn to the drive
The Otium Group  /  Westlake

Quiet is the requirement.

In Westlake, the best homes are the ones you never hear about. We have designed their technology the same way since 2004 — invisibly, and without a word.

Where we work

Vaquero, Granada, Entrada, the Knolls at Solana and Quail Hollow — from four-story villas in Entrada to estates on Vaquero’s fairways. More than a hundred custom homes across Westlake, Southlake and Colleyville.

What it takes

Discretion first.

We never publish a client’s name, and we never photograph a home without the owner’s permission.

A network for the whole estate.

Coverage to the pool house, the motor court and the far edge of the lot, managed as one secure network.

Security at the gate and beyond.

The Otium Group, Inc — Security Division, with cameras and access control monitored around the clock by a UL-Listed central station.

Light and shade.

Lutron lighting and motorized shading on the tall glass these homes are built around.

Sound and image.

Media rooms and whole-home audio that disappear when they are not in use.

One system.

Control4 ties it together, so the whole house answers to one keypad.

The Dream Home

We have designed the home automation and shading for every Fort Worth Magazine Dream Home since 2013, and a home on each of its Dream Streets.

For builders

If you have built with us before, you know how we work. If it has been a while, call. Bring us in at plan review.

For homeowners

Most of our work begins with a homeowner who tells their builder they want us. Tell yours.

Common questions

Do you work in Vaquero and Westlake’s other gated communities?

Yes. Vaquero, Granada, Entrada, the Knolls at Solana and Quail Hollow.

How do you handle privacy?

We never publish client names, and we never photograph a home without permission. What we build for you stays yours.

Do you work on villas and townhomes as well as estates?

Yes. A four-story villa in Entrada and an estate on an acre get the same design and the same standard.

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.

Who answers when something needs service?

Service calls go straight to our dedicated service coordinator.
