In December of 2019, AV Smart Solutions completed a smart residential AV installation for Jackson Apartments in Seattle, Washington. We consulted closely with the property owners as their trusted audio visual consultant and left no need unmet.
Now, residents and staff alike enjoy intuitive, high-performance smart home technology for apartments. From smart home AV to dynamic lighting control, the building now features integrated systems that elevate everyday living.
Project Scope: Comprehensive Smart Apartment Technology
This multifamily property spans multiple common areas, and we ensured each one delivered immersive audio, video and climate control. We installed smart AV equipment and smart home lighting control systems in:
Next, we placed smart AV systems in these common areas:
Finally, to ensure residents work from home as smartly as they relax in their rooms, we installed two full conference room systems. Residents and staff access each smart system with state-of-the-art tech, like apps and touchscreens.
Smart Music Systems With Residential AV Installation
We designed, documented and installed high-performance music systems across the property. From top to bottom, powerful audio control is at residents’ fingertips.
Indoor Audio
In the east lobby, we placed multiple in-ceiling speakers for audio saturation. Leasing staff can control these speakers via a Sonos native smartphone/tablet app.
Next, we moved to the east gallery and placed in-ceiling speakers in the fitness room and music lounge. The west coworking lounge also accommodates discreet in-ceiling speakers. In all these areas, staff and residents control music systems via a Sonos music player and smartphone/tablet app.
But sometimes a device isn’t immediately at hand! For instant control, we added wall-mounted LCD keypads that residents use for basic functions: turning music on and off, playing, pausing and skipping.
Outdoor Audio
Outdoor areas need AV love, too. And Jackson Apartments boasts beautiful outdoor spaces — courtyards and roof decks!
We equipped the courtyards with landscape speakers, which leasing staff control through a Sonos smartphone/tablet app.
Finally, we installed outdoor surface-mount speakers at the west and east roof decks. Leasing staff control audio systems through a simple Sonos app. When those devices aren’t handy, wall-mounted LCD keypads offer basic controls.
Smart Home AV Systems for Common Areas
We didn’t stop at rich audio, although integrating dynamic, smart audio systems is one of our specialties! We also designed, documented and installed smart AV systems across the property.
These popular common areas now have in-ceiling speakers, Samsung TVs and wall-mounted LCD touchscreen controllers:

Tech Backbone: Streamlined and Reliable
We want to be absolutely certain that the systems we install work intuitively and smoothly for our clients. That’s one reason we put a ton of thought into what supports the systems we integrate.
The backbone for these systems includes cutting-edge, reliable tech and hardware:
And the systems get even smarter (and more practical). We supplied retractable tethers for cable box remote controls in the fitness and music lounges.
We didn’t forget residents’ preferences, too. They can bring and use their own HDMI devices because we equipped the social lounge with an auxiliary HDMI jack. Those details really matter — and go a long way toward residents’ satisfaction.
At the end of the day, Jackson Apartments residents and staff bask in their favorite playlists and podcasts. They watch movies and more while socializing, working out and just plain working.
And the Jackson Apartments owners now have a significantly more valuable property.
Smart Home Technology for Apartments That Boosts Value
Today, Jackson Apartments residents enjoy smart apartment technology designed for both convenience and luxury. Whether working from home or unwinding in a lounge, they benefit from smart home AV and lighting systems that simply work.
Staff appreciate how easy it is to control music and media, and property owners now have a more attractive, tech-forward asset.
