Building Your Clients’ Dream Outdoor Space

At Elite Automation, we partner with specifiers, builders, designers, and architects, integrating advanced automation and premier audio-video systems. These systems are designed to elevate your clients’ lives in remarkable ways, from providing the best home entertainment to an extraordinary ease of living. 

One of the areas we’ve been keenly involved in is outdoor living.

Today, outdoor spaces have become extensions of people’s homes, as much a part of their everyday lives as their living rooms and kitchens. In some, they’ve become the centerpiece. Whether building a new outdoor space or refining an existing one, our experts are with you from the initial design and planning to the engineering, installation, programming, and support. 

Here, we’ll explore the many enhancements luxury homeowners ask for when building their dream outdoor space.

A Full-Purpose Patio

There was a time when patios consisted of some tables, chairs, and a barbecue. Times have changed. Now, patios are outpacing decks, with some areas seeing an average size of over 400 square feet. Seamless indoor-outdoor transitions blur the line between interior and exterior spaces, creating an intentional flow from one to the other. 

Outdoor kitchens with pizza ovens and grills are the most requested outdoor enhancements. Fire features extend the usability, enabling clients to use their outdoor oasis year-round. 

Outdoor TVs let homeowners tune into the morning news while enjoying their first cup of coffee on the patio. A family member may turn on their favorite yoga series in the afternoon. By evening, it’s time for movie night under the stars. 

Clients who hesitate to elevate their spaces with outdoor TVs often do so because they think they’ll rarely be used. These same homeowners frequently find their patio has become the favorite “room” in their home. Part of the reason for this change of heart is the latest technology. 

Today’s 4K UHD outdoor TVs are often better than their indoor counterparts, offering brighter displays in stunning colors and crystal-clear details. As the Seahawks’ season nears, the demand for these displays often increases. 

Elevating Every Experience

Advanced outdoor audio systems are designed with the most discerning clients in mind. These deliver crystal-clear sound in wide-open spaces, extending from corner to corner of any size property. Speakers disappear into the landscape, leaving the design untouched while creating a blanket of high-fidelity music. We also integrate these speakers into the display, creating an immersive, all-encompassing surround sound. 

Like today’s outdoor TVs, these speakers are engineered to withstand outdoor living, surviving extreme temperatures, rain, snow, and dust.

The latest outdoor LED landscape lighting creates a stunning, functional, and safe backdrop for those who plan on extending their enjoyment long into the night.

Custom Control for the Entire Outdoor Setting

By integrating a home automation platform, your clients can manage their entire outdoor space from one user-friendly interface. They can effortlessly control the lights, pool, spa, fire features, irrigation, and entertainment devices from their backyard or across the world.
