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.
