Shady Island project wins two awards at CE Pro 2020 Home of the Year Expo
We’re beyond thrilled to share that our Shady Island project has won two awards in CE Pro’s 2020 Home of the Year Expo!
Taking place virtually this year due to pandemic safety measures, we worked with the wonderful team at Lelch Audio Video to capture the thoughtful nature of Shady Island’s warm modern architecture and bring it to life for viewers experiencing the expo from the comfort of their homes. We took home the gold medal in the Best Whole-House/Smart Home Project under $150K category.And the silver medal in the Best Combo Design + Tech Project category.
As Charles Stinson and Carol Eastlund’s own home, Shady Island was designed by taking everything they’d learned about homebuilding and cooking that down to a warm modern minimalist lakeside abode. Pocket doors, brilliant built-in storage and Charles’ signature floor-to-ceiling and clerestory windows blend seamlessly with smart home connectivity that celebrates a new frontier in how we live and stay connected with our most sacred spaces. “In terms of home connectivity, the most wonderful thing about Shady Island is the Control 4 app that allows fingertip control of all things in the house: TV, sound system, security, lighting, heating/cooling/ fireplace-all on your phone no matter where you are,” said Carol. “Our home has us feeling spoiled by the ease and connectivity of 'running' the house. It makes travel and security a breeze because we’re able to 'check-in" with our home from anywhere.”
Thank you again to the CE Pro and Lelch Audio Video teams for making this a year to remember! If you’re interested in exploring a smart home designed by Charles R.
