What We Do
Independent Technical Owner's Representation for High-Performance Buildings
We act as the owner's technical advocate. We design, evaluate, and oversee the invisible systems that make modern buildings function - lighting, shading, AV, networks, security, and automation - ensuring they serve the architecture, the occupants, and the long-term value of the asset.
We sit between the architect, engineer, contractor, and vendor, translating intent into execution and shielding owners from unnecessary complexity, cost, and risk.
We do not sell or install systems.
Our loyalty is singular: to the owner and the project.
Who We Serve
We work with clients who value precision, discretion, and long-term performance.
Developers & Investors
For high-value residential and commercial assets where technical decisions directly impact operational stability, tenant satisfaction, and ROI. From homes in the hills to shopping centers, we bring value to virtually any project.
Architects & Designers
As a technical partner who protects creative intent while ensuring systems are executable in the real world. Always in service of the design vision.
General Contractors & Project Managers
As a translator and coordinator who reduces friction, late-stage changes, and technical rework. Our role is not to replace any member of the team - it is to help align them.
Our Expertise
Technology is only valuable when it disappears into the experience of a space. Our work focuses on making complex systems feel inevitable, intuitive, and reliable.
Lighting, Shading & Human-Centric Design
Lighting is the emotional interface of architecture. We specialize in the technical realization of sophisticated lighting and shading systems. We have a passion for wellness-focused, human-centric, circadian lighting design. We make sure these systems are designed to remain stable, programmable, and true to the architect's vision.
Capabilities include:
- Advanced lighting and control systems (Lutron HomeWorks, Forbes & Lomax, Ketra, DALI, KNX, DMX)
- Motorized shading design and coordination
- Fixture selection, schedules, and technical review
- Control logic, scene strategy, and long-term serviceability
- On-site coordination and fixture aiming
We ensure lighting decisions are made early - when they are least expensive and most impactful.
Intelligent Security & Perimeter Integrity
Security should provide clarity, not just recordings. Our approach is grounded in real-world performance. We have designed systems and collaborated with law enforcement agencies on behalf of clients in high-stakes investigations. We understand exactly what matters - and what fails - when a system is actually needed.
Focus areas include:
- Camera selection, placement and forensic-grade image quality
- AI-driven analytics (facial recognition, object detection, license plate recognition)
- System usability for rapid review and incident response
- Discreet integration that respects architecture and privacy
The goal is not constant vigilance - it is absolute confidence.
Distributed AV & Media Systems
Our standard for media systems is informed by decades at the highest level of professional digital imaging. We design and oversee AV systems that prioritize fidelity, simplicity, and invisibility - ensuring the technology disappears until it is needed.
Applications include:
- Whole-home and multi-zone audio
- Distributed video systems
- Private cinemas and presentation environments
- Commercial and hospitality media systems
Every component is evaluated for performance, longevity, and integration - not marketing appeal.
Resilient Connectivity & Core Infrastructure
A network is the nervous system of a modern building. We ensure connectivity is treated as foundational infrastructure, engineered into the bones of the project long before walls are closed. We work to preserve a thoughtful approach that is true to the functional and aesthetic goals of the project.
Our scope includes:
- Network architecture and hardware selection
- Cable pathways, equipment rooms, cooling, and power
- Wireless performance planning and access point placement
- Long-term stability, security, and serviceability
Reliable systems begin with disciplined planning.
Procurement, Vendor Oversight & Value Engineering
Relationships are paramount to a successful project. We maintain deep relationships with installers, manufacturers, and service providers across the country. These relationships translate into better pricing, better execution, and better accountability.
At the same time, our independence ensures recommendations are driven by performance and longevity - not sales incentives.

Display Calibration
Image accuracy, without compromise.
We offer professional display calibration for environments where image quality matters.
Drawing from our background supporting filmmakers and cinematographers, we ensure displays present content as it was intended to be seen — balanced, consistent, and true to the original creative vision.
Calibration is performed using professional reference-grade measurement tools, ensuring results that are accurate, repeatable, and stable over time.
Custom Fabrication
When standard solutions aren’t enough.
We provide custom fabrication for highly specific technical needs where off-the-shelf components fall short.
With in-house capabilities including precision milling, laser cutting, and 3D printing, we design and produce bespoke parts and assemblies that integrate cleanly into complex systems - supporting both functional performance and architectural intent.
This service exists to solve edge cases quietly and elegantly, without forcing design compromises or workarounds.
Custom Electronics
Bridging systems that weren’t designed to meet.
We develop custom electronics and software when off-the-shelf solutions can’t deliver the required behavior.
This includes microcontroller-based hardware, custom control logic, and purpose-built interfaces that allow disparate systems to communicate cleanly and operate as a cohesive whole.
Designed to disappear into the project, not draw attention to itself.
About Kevin Zanit
Creative stewardship with a zero-failure mindset.
For nearly two decades, Kevin Zanit operated at the highest levels of the motion picture industry, serving as a technical bridge for some of the world's most elite visual storytellers.
In an environment where a single failure can halt a $500,000-per-day production, Kevin developed a zero-failure mindset - calm under pressure, obsessive about preparation, and deeply accountable to creative intent.
Working alongside directors and cinematographers with 13 Academy Award wins and over 40 nominations, Kevin was responsible for the invisible systems that ensure vision survives reality: data pipelines, color science, custom system design, and resilient technical infrastructure.
This background is not just technical - it is creative stewardship.
Kevin's transition into real estate advisory was a natural evolution. As a property owner and developer himself, he recognized a persistent gap in the construction process: a lack of true technical advocacy for the owner.
Today, Kevin applies the same discipline, clarity, and fiduciary responsibility to the built environment - protecting design intent, system reliability, and long-term value in projects where the margin for error is zero.
