A 6,000 sq ft modernist residence on Greater Victoria’s coast — stone, cedar, and floor-to-ceiling glass framing the inlet view from every primary room. Built by Mac Construction, the project is a study in restraint: a complex technology scope, all of it disappearing into the architecture.
Wenner delivered the full integration on a Crestron Custom platform: lighting and shade control, distributed audio across the home, a dedicated theatre, security and surveillance, the network backbone, and motorised drapery on the principal sightlines. Every system runs through a single bespoke Intuitiv user interface — the homeowner sees one app, not seven, and the touch panels match the home’s hardware schedule rather than fighting it.
The dedicated theatre carries serious AV behind acoustically-treated finishes, while the great room’s distributed audio is invisible — speakers in the cedar-slat coffered ceiling, no grilles on the walls, the room’s silhouette uninterrupted. Architectural lighting is layered through the entire main floor: the kitchen’s marble backsplash and walnut beams are washed by precisely-aimed cylinder fixtures; the dining tray is lit from a custom keypad scene; the entertainment room’s guitar wall is on its own dimming circuit so the display reads at any time of day.
Meticulous, stunning, and exceptionally executed by Mac Construction — the kind of project where every trade pulled their weight and the result is a home where the technology is felt, not seen. An absolute pleasure to work on.
