Today we’re showcasing the SkyHouse, an unique house tech tour that we’d categorize as “aspirational” for most of us. But it’s such a shining example of how to stylishly and invisibly incorporate technology into the home, including a Crestron Home Automation Control Systems with wi-fi integration, iPORT In-Wall docking stations, pinball machine, in-wall keypads throughout the home and a HD home theater. There’s plenty here for everyone to just peek into and enjoy for decor alone. It’s admittedly an ideal and staged setting, but sometimes it’s fun to see what a whole lot of money can get you when coupled with a discriminating eye for design.
