Lutron Ketra
Full-spectrum, tunable light, from candle-warm whites to vivid color. Ketra renders art, stone, and skin with remarkable fidelity, and can follow the sun through the day.
Light, considered.
Intelligent lighting, motorized shades, and quiet technology for exceptional homes in Los Angeles. Designed alongside your architect, built to disappear.
Intelligent lighting
The quality of light changes how a home feels. We design it from the first drawing.
Our work centers on Lutron's intelligent lighting portfolio: fixtures and controls engineered as one system, so every room shifts naturally from morning to evening without anyone touching a switch.
Lutron Rania
Natural white light across a wide range, from incandescent glow at 1,800K to midday sun at 5,500K. Downlights and tape light that sit almost invisibly in the architecture.
Motorized shades
Daylight, managed quietly.
Lutron shades move in near silence and work hand in hand with the lighting: easing down against afternoon glare, opening to the morning, protecting floors and furnishings without a second thought.
Living spaces
Designed for the home. Not the equipment rack.
Everything beyond lighting and shades is kept deliberately simple.
Network & WiFi
A strong, reliable network is the foundation upon which everything is built. Seamless coverage, inside and out.
Video
Premium OLED displays with an Apple TV remote. Nothing to learn, nothing to explain to guests. Simply reliable.
Music
Sonance architectural speakers, including the invisible series, powered by Sonos. Sound without any sign of hardware.
Cameras & Access
Discreet cameras, door stations, and remote access. Clear visibility without visual clutter.
Control, selectively
When a home calls for it, Josh.ai brings natural voice control to lighting, shades, and media. Always private.
How we work
We join projects early, working from the drawings with architects, interior designers, and builders, so lighting and technology are integrated into the design rather than added to it.
Most of our projects come through client referrals and our relationships with design teams.
- 01
Listen
We start with you, the drawings, and the way you live, not with a product list.
- 02
Design
Lighting, shades, and wiring are planned room by room with your architect, designer, and builder.
- 03
Deliver
We install, program, and commission every detail, then show you how little there is to learn.
- 04
Support
We stay with the home after move-in, so everything keeps working the way it did on day one.

Based in Santa Monica, we work from Malibu to the South Bay and from Brentwood to Beverly Hills.
