The Pacific Northwest is the region against which our practice was first measured. Cedar, basalt, and the long, low light of a Vancouver winter; rain that earns serious mechanical ventilation; coastlines and mountainsides in equal measure; an architectural language that prefers warmth and quiet over spectacle.
We programme for that. Astronomical timeclocks tuned to a sun path that barely climbs in February. Climate logic written for the heat-pump-and-ventilation reality of a wet, temperate region. Scene language pitched to a household that values quiet over choreography. Native Crestron, native Lutron, written by the senior engineer attached to the residence — in the region where Intuitiv was founded.
Three things, consistently — whether the residence is on the British Columbia coast, in the Cascades, on Puget Sound, or in the Willamette Valley.
One named programmer attached to the residence for the life of the system. The same person writes the lighting scenes, the touchpanel layout, and the climate logic — and returns when the household’s pattern changes.
No middleware abstraction. Crestron written natively on SIMPL / SIMPL# / C# or CH5; Lutron HomeWorks written natively on its own toolchain; the two systems tied together at the scene engine, not at a translation layer.
The Pacific Northwest is the region where Intuitiv was founded and where the senior engineer-of-record discipline was first developed. The houses of this coast remain the standard against which the practice is measured.
We hold a current programming engagement in the Pacific Northwest, alongside the residences in service that the practice has carried since its founding. The residences are held in confidence.
For households deciding between Crestron Home and a fully custom system, we design and manage on both platforms — the framework we use is published.
