Creating the Oasis of Your Dreams

More homeowners than ever are extending their living spaces into the outdoors. In Raleigh, NC, you’ll find homes with seamless transitions, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living by creating creative outdoor entertainment spaces with fire features, waterfalls, sectional sofas, and built-in bar seating.

Retractable walls, oversized sliding glass doors, and matching flooring and design help create the sense of an extension instead of a separate space.

The cornerstones of this outdoor entertainment oasis are today’s weatherproof 4K UHD TVs and high-fidelity audio systems. Here, we’ll explore the latest AV technology and how it’s transforming how we spend our time in the great outdoors.

Outdoor Movie Nights and Game Days

Home entertainment has made incredible advancements in the last few years, none more so than TVs designed for the outdoors. The greatest challenge was the sun’s glare, leading to washed-out displays that were impossible to see.

Today’s anti-glare screens are up to six times brighter than many indoor TVs. The result is brilliant images, even in the full sun. Sharp contrast and crystal-clear details deliver lifelike movies and sporting events where you feel like you’re on the 50-yard line or deep within the Amazon rainforest.

These TVs are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, rain, dust, and even Raleigh’s occasional snow and sleet. Some homeowners prefer two TVs in their outdoor oasis, one by the pool for movie nights under the stars and the other on the patio for backyard tailgate parties.

Immersive Audio Systems

Do you remember when outdoor audio consisted of one under-eave speaker that delivered overwhelming music to one area of your yard while leaving the rest barely touched by its pleasures? Fortunately, times have changed.

Today, outdoor landscape speakers are strategically placed throughout the grounds, near patios, by pools, under trees, and along the property's borders. This audio is directed toward areas where your friends and family congregate, creating a rich blanket of sound that evenly covers all areas.

Whether enjoying detailed music or crystal-clear soundtracks, the latest outdoor sound systems reimagine what’s possible.

Managing It All with Smart Automation

By creating varying zones, friends can experience the big game on the patio in surround sound while others enjoy a relaxing playlist by the pool. The entire system is managed from one easy-to-use platform, letting you select the audio source and area with one touch.

For those integrating additional smart home systems, you can also manage your custom lighting, climate, indoor entertainment, security, and other outdoor amenities, such as pools and spas, from this same platform.

Custom Entertainment Areas

Outdoor spaces have gone far beyond functional seating and tables. Today, they call to you with comfort and style, aligned with your design and aesthetics. Modular furniture can be rearranged based on the activity, from hosting an outdoor soiree to having a few friends over for a barbeque.

These personal retreats provide a luxurious setting, a staycation that leaves you refreshed and looking forward to the next outdoor event.
