Connected Living Upgrade General Info
Before Zakini, this residence relied on a patchwork of outdated tech and inconsistent user experiences. The homeowner wanted something more — not just control over devices, but intelligence stitched into the fabric of daily life. They envisioned a home that could think, respond, and feel effortless.
Zakini was brought in not just as an integrator, but as a partner in redefining what “living smart” could mean. Every room became a sandbox for responsive design — sensors, scenarios, and systems working in concert, yet invisible to the eye. This wasn’t about gadgets. It was about presence, mood, and meaning.
01
Project Overview
A luxury beachfront residence at Diplomat Residences in Hollywood Beach, featuring a glass-wrapped master bedroom with panoramic views.
02
Challenge
The client wanted a high-quality AV solution for the master bedroom, but the room had floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, leaving no walls or existing pathways to run cables without disrupting the aesthetic.
03
Solution
We designed and installed:
A ceiling-mounted projector with a motorized screen that discreetly tucks away when not in use.
Sonos wireless speakers for a clean, cable-free installation.
Integration of the motorized screen into the existing smart shades control system, allowing effortless, one-touch control for watching movies day or night.
04
Result
The client now enjoys a seamless AV experience in their master bedroom while maintaining the clean, open design of the space.
They were so satisfied with the performance and ease of use that they expanded Sonos to multi-room audio throughout the apartment, achieving a whole-home solution without invasive construction.
“Zakini didn’t just install smart tech — they rewired our experience of home. Every detail feels designed around how we live, not how systems operate”
