Residential Project Profiles

Private Residence
Ellicott City, Maryland

Project Overview

A local family was planning to build their first custom home when, after browsing the CEDIA website, they contacted Arc Light Entertainment. The project would involve integrated AV systems for a 12,000 square foot custom home with a dedicated home theater and outdoor areas with patios, swimming pool, pool house, and tennis court.

The scale of this project required implementation of a Crestron Total Home Technology solution to allow complete control and flexible system operation. Sixteen color LCD touch panels and seven button panels allow user control throughout the home. Any of eight audio sources may be selected in any of twenty-three zones. Intercom features allow 2-way communication with visitors at the front door. HVAC control is integrated using four Crestron network thermostats. The installation includes a structured cabling system for voice, data, cable TV, and five surveillance cameras.

The home theater includes a ceiling-mounted high-definition DLP projector displaying a 106" diagonal image on a 16:9 screen. A dedicated equipment rack houses a color LCD touch panel, high-definition cable TV decoder, a DVD player, and an AV receiver. A 7.1 reference speaker system with dual subwoofers provides surround sound. The system is controlled by a Crestron wireless handheld remote and control system.
