Aegis Technologies project featured in Washington Spaces Magazine
A recent Aegis Technologies project was featured in the latest issue of Washington Spaces magazine in an article entitled "The Networked Home: Building Homes That Run Themselves".
This home's theater room presented some special challenges. The only room available for a dedicated media room consisted of two walls of floor to ceiling windows. The homeowner wanted as large a screen as possible, which ruled out plasma or LCD televisions, but no projector setup would be able to perform in full sunlight. The solution came in the form of Lutron's motorized drapery system. Heavy blackout drapes on motorized tracks close off the room for TV or movie viewing at the touch of a button. The drapes are controllable by the Crestron wireless touchpanel that is used to control the rest of the room. In addition, the heavy fabric functions as an acoustic absorber, reducing echoes and sound reflections that would be intolerable in an all glass room.
