When the owners purchased this 8,800 square foot Amagansett spec home, they fell in love with its clean lines and modern finishes. What it lacked, however, was the technology they had come to expect in their other residences. With no pre-wire in place, the home had only a few basic speakers, a standard Wi-Fi network, and simple lighting. For a property of this scale, it was not enough.

The homeowners envisioned a retreat that was as effortless as it was sophisticated. They wanted a media room that could handle both music and movies, outdoor spaces designed for entertaining, better lighting throughout, and blackout shades in the primary suite. Security and access were also important, but everything needed to blend discreetly with the home’s design and remain easy to use.

Home Technology Experts delivered a complete transformation without disturbing the home’s finishes. Every solution was engineered to work within the constraints of the existing construction, avoiding the need to open walls or ceilings. The lower-level media room now pairs a large television with rich, in-wall speakers for an immersive experience. Outside, hidden landscape speakers and a weatherproof TV bring music and entertainment to the pool, patios, and firepit.

Lighting and Lutron shades became equally transformative. Warm-dim fixtures replaced harsh, static LEDs to give the interiors a softer, more inviting glow. In the primary suite, custom blackout shades were designed in collaboration with J Paul Studio and Studio Gild. A carefully crafted cornice conceals the tracks, rollers, and power supplies, allowing the treatments to deliver complete darkness at night without any visible equipment. Additional rooms were outfitted with a mix of motorized and manual window treatments, ensuring continuity throughout the home while maintaining design integrity.

Subtle surveillance cameras and a flush-mounted gate station added security without distraction. And because everything was designed to be app-based, the homeowners gained a system that is simple to use without the need for a traditional control platform.

Collaboration played a key role in the success of the project. HTE worked closely with TerraDesign, Hamptons Landscape Lighting, J Paul Studio, and Studio Gild to ensure that every technology choice respected the architecture, interiors and landscape. The result is a home where luxury and simplicity go hand in hand.

What began as a spec build is now a personalized Hamptons retreat, sophisticated, secure, and effortless to enjoy.
