Pushing Boundaries of Lighting and Design
Amy Storm, the visionary behind Amy Storm & Co., partnered with Matt Howell at Smarter Home and
PureEdge Lighting, to craft a home that redefines smart living. Their collaboration blends cuttingedge
lighting technology with sleek, "modernish" aesthetics-creating a retreat that is both visually
stunning and highly functional, integrating smart technology into every detail. Every element, from
the architectural details to the ambient lighting, is designed to elevate both quiet moments and
lively gatherings.
"We saw this as an opportunity to push boundaries and explore how lighting and design work
together to create something truly special."
-Amy & Josh Storm
A Masterclass In Architectural Lighting
One of the standout features of this home is the Patented TruArch™ 5/8" drywall plaster-in system
in the gallery-a seamless integration of light and form. Elegant curves sweep up walls and across
ceilings, enhancing the space with an uninterrupted flow. The lighting remains invisible when turned
off but transforms the room into a dynamic visual experience when illuminated, playing beautifully
with high-gloss finishes and textured surfaces. All with TruColor™ RGBTW LEDs.
This home's lighting design is more than just practical-it's an artistic
statement. By using TruColor™ RGBTW lighting, the designs have the
widest and most accurate tunable white spectrums, emulating the light
of the sun and promoting healthy Circadian rhythms.
Thoughtful details include:
- Nova Ceiling TruColor™ RGBTW Wall Grazing Effects - 20 Degree direct
lighting that enhances textured walls with depth and detail, creating
striking shadows and highlights that bring out the wall's character while
adding a dynamic, eye-catching effect.
- Luca TruColor™ RGBTW Accent Down Lights - Soft illumination adding
depth and drama.
- Flex Neon TruColor™ RGBTW Under-Counter Lighting - Enhancing the kitchen's spatial perception,
while TruColor™ RGBTW LED Strips and light channel millwork were used in various shelving areas.
- TUBO Small TruColor™ RGBTW Mono-Point Ceiling Fixtures - Spotlighting artwork with precision.
- TruColor™ RGBTW Lamps (multiple types)
The Smart Advantage: Adapting to Every Occasion
At the heart of this high-tech sanctuary is the Pure Smart™ system,
featuring color and temperature-controlled bulbs, dynamic presets,
and effortless adaptability. Whether it's a warm glow for an intimate
dinner or vibrant lighting for a lively gathering, the home transforms
with just a touch.
In the kitchen and dining area, illuminated decorative cabinets serve
as both statement pieces and functional storage. On a separate circuit
from the overhead fixtures, these lights can be used independently-allowing for a soft, ambient setting when desired.
Bringing The Outdoors to Life
The innovation extends beyond the interior. Outside,
the pergola is enhanced with the only exterior-grade
track lighting on the market, turning the space into
a versatile nighttime retreat. Whether hosting an
evening soirée or enjoying a quiet night under the
stars, this lighting solution sets the perfect scene.
Amy Storm has created more than just a smart
home-she's designed an immersive experience
where light, technology, and design harmoniously
intersect. This is modern living, redefined.
