Redefining Entertainment with Cinema-Scale Screens

Your media room should feel like the heart of your home—a place where family gathers, friends linger, and every moment feels larger than life. However, traditional displays, even the largest consumer TVs, often struggle to create that transformative experience in today's grand living spaces. Video wall displays are changing this equation, offering cinema-scale screens that don't just show content—they transform the entire room into an experience. These systems are becoming the preferred choice for luxury media spaces that serve multiple purposes throughout the day, delivering the scale and performance that make every gathering unforgettable.

A Commitment to the Principles that Make a Difference

Every remarkable home technology project begins with more than just plans and products — it starts with principles. At Aurum Home Technology, our foundation rests on four core values: Integrity, Excellence, Professionalism, and Partnership. These aren't just words on a wall; they shape how we collaborate, deliver, and ultimately, ensure that our clients feel supported for years to come.

Why Values Matter

Luxury homes demand extraordinary attention. Technology touches everything — from the way you wake up in the morning to how you host friends in the evening. Projects are intricate, timelines are long, and dozens of decisions must come together smoothly. In this environment, technical know-how is important, but values determine whether the process feels effortless or overwhelming.

Choosing the right partner means choosing a company whose character guides every interaction, every decision, and every outcome. That's where Aurum stands apart.

Our Four Key Values

Integrity: Trust is the foundation of any lasting relationship. For us, integrity means being transparent, honest, and accountable in everything we do. We communicate openly, set clear expectations, and take responsibility when challenges arise. This straightforward approach builds confidence — and allows you to move through your project knowing that we stand firmly behind our word.

Excellence: We believe every project deserves our absolute best. Excellence shows up in the precision of our work, the thoroughness of our planning, and the consistency of our support long after installation. It's about holding ourselves to the highest standard so that you never have to question the quality of your experience.

Heritage-Inspired Toggles Bring Timeless Elegance to Smart Lighting

Lutron's newest addition to its luxury keypad collection draws inspiration from classical design while delivering cutting-edge functionality. The Aviena toggle keypad represents a masterful marriage of heritage aesthetics and modern technology, featuring hand-finished solid brass construction and weighted mechanical toggles that feel substantial in your hand. Like its companion in classic design, the Alisse keypad, Aviena offers the same premium Signature Metal finishes and sophisticated control through Lutron’s top-tier HomeWorks system. Together, these keypads provide designers and homeowners with sophisticated options that honor traditional craftsmanship while embracing smart home innovation.

What Makes Aurum Networks Different

Most people think home networks are just about Wi-Fi. Connect a router, get internet, done. But here's what they don't realize: the network is the invisible foundation supporting every smart device, every streaming session, every video call in your home. When it fails, everything fails. Consumer routers usually fail within five years of continuous operation, leaving homeowners frustrated with frozen video calls and endless loading screens. At Aurum, we take a completely different approach. We don't just install internet connectivity—we engineer the digital backbone that makes modern living possible.

Keeping Your Smart Home Running When Power Is Interrupted

Modern luxury homes run on technology. Automated lighting and climate systems, integrated security and entertainment, voice-controlled devices—these features have become standard expectations rather than nice-to-have amenities. Each system requires consistent power to deliver the comfort and convenience that defines contemporary residential living.

A power outage reveals just how dependent we've become on electrical infrastructure. Smart locks lose connectivity, security cameras go offline, HVAC controls shut down, and whole-home audio systems fall silent. The carefully orchestrated technology that makes a house feel like a sophisticated, responsive environment suddenly becomes unavailable.

Whole-home power systems provide comprehensive backup solutions that maintain every aspect of home operation during outages. At Aurum Home Technology, we consider these systems essential infrastructure for resilient home design, supporting everything from basic security to entertainment systems without interruption. For homeowners who value uncompromised comfort and designers who understand that exceptional homes anticipate every scenario, these power solutions deliver genuine peace of mind.

Creating Intuitive Lighting Systems That Respond to How You Actually Live

Most lighting control systems are programmed by engineers who've never met you or visited your home. At Aurum, we start differently—with your morning coffee routine, how you entertain guests, and the way evening light should feel when you're unwinding. 

Our lighting control process begins with understanding your lifestyle, and then we engineer that vision into a system that responds intuitively to how you actually live. From the circadian rhythms that guide your energy throughout the day to the perfect ambiance for mountain entertaining, we create lighting experiences that feel as natural as they are sophisticated. Here’s how it works.

Designing Intuitive Control That Complements Your Home's Aesthetic

In the past, high-end homes with sophisticated lighting needed walls cluttered with rows of switches, each controlling a single bank of lights. Today's luxury homes deserve lighting control that's both sophisticated and intuitive—keypads that blend seamlessly with your design while putting the perfect ambiance at your fingertips. The best keypad designs feel natural from the moment you walk into a room, with buttons positioned where you'd instinctively reach and functions that match how you actually live. When thoughtfully planned, these control points become an elegant extension of your home's architecture rather than an afterthought.

Engineering Excellence Meets Elegant Design

Mountain-area homes demand window treatments that complement sweeping views without sacrificing comfort or control. At Aurum Home Technology, we believe motorized shades should seamlessly integrate with your home's architecture and automation systems. Our engineering-focused approach goes beyond simple installation—we develop comprehensive plans that coordinate power, control, and programming to create window treatments that perform flawlessly while respecting your home's design integrity. 

From precise keypad placement to sophisticated scene programming, we deliver motorized shade solutions that bring perfect balance to style, function, and convenience.

How Aurum Supports Local Organizations Making a Difference

At Aurum Home Technology, we recognize that our success is deeply connected to the strength and well-being of the communities where we live and work. While we focus on creating exceptional smart homes with the latest technology, we also understand the importance of supporting the places that have welcomed us.

Our team proudly partners with three remarkable nonprofits tackling hunger, housing, and health challenges throughout Colorado. These partnerships reflect our commitment to ensuring that technology and innovation contribute to positive change in Denver, Vail, Colorado Springs, and the broader communities we serve.

Building Intelligent Homes from the Ground Up

Every exceptional smart home begins with meticulous infrastructure planning long before the first technology component is installed. This foundation—the wiring, backing, power requirements, and network pathways—determines the reliability, performance, and upgradeability of your home's technology systems for years to come. At Aurum Home Technology, we take an engineering-focused approach to infrastructure planning, developing comprehensive documentation and specifications that guide designers, builders, and tradespeople throughout the construction process. Through detailed planning and direct quality control, we ensure your home's technology infrastructure supports both current needs and future possibilities.

A Partnership of Craftsmanship and Innovation

When two masters of their craft join forces, something extraordinary emerges. The partnership between Steinway & Sons—makers of the world's finest pianos for over 165 years—and Peter Lyngdorf, a visionary pioneer in audio technology, has created what many consider the pinnacle of home audio reproduction. Steinway Lyngdorf audio systems recreate music with such precision that even experienced concert pianists struggle to distinguish between a live Steinway piano and its recorded counterpart. At Aurum Home Technology, we're proud to bring this unparalleled listening experience to discerning homeowners who understand that exceptional music reproduction is simply one of life’s great pleasures. 

Creating Elegant Visual Experiences in Luxury Homes

TVs and video displays continue to get ever larger. While they provide a wealth of entertainment, luxury homeowners don’t want them and the accompanying audio equipment to overwhelm a space. For technology integrators like Aurum Home Technology, the challenge lies in balancing technology with aesthetics—ensuring exceptional viewing experiences while maintaining design harmony. We take an engineering-oriented approach to display integration, developing comprehensive plans that specify exact placement, concealment mechanisms, and infrastructure requirements. Through detailed documentation and coordination with architects, designers, and millwork fabricators, we ensure your visual technology integrates seamlessly with your home's design, providing performance without compromise.

How Aurum Creates Integrated Home Audio Experiences

When building or renovating a luxury home, thoughtful audio planning ensures music and sound become integral to your living experience, not an afterthought. Whole-home audio systems require a balance of performance and aesthetics in everyday living areas. At Aurum Home Technology, we take an engineering-oriented approach to audio system design, developing comprehensive plans that specify exact speaker placements, wiring paths, and equipment requirements. Through detailed documentation and coordination with architects and designers, we ensure your audio system delivers exceptional sound while respecting your home's design integrity.

A Key Part of Technology Integration

Behind every seamlessly automated luxury home lies a carefully engineered equipment space (or several of them). These central technology rooms house the sophisticated systems that power your home's entertainment, lighting, and climate control. At Aurum Home Technology, we know that meticulously planned equipment spaces are the foundation of any well-designed smart home. Through careful engineering and detailed documentation, we ensure these critical spaces are designed for optimal performance, proper cooling, and future adaptability. Let's explore the essential considerations for planning technology equipment spaces in luxury mountain homes.

How Aurum Integrates Modern Lighting Control into Homes

The larger the home, the more lights there are. And with more lights comes more switches to manage them. With today’s smart technology and LED lighting, there’s a better way to control illumination in luxury homes. Modern lighting control has evolved into an elegant fusion of technology and design, where a single, sophisticated keypad can orchestrate lighting and shading throughout an entire room. At Aurum Home Technology, we take an engineering-focused approach to lighting control, carefully planning each system to enhance functionality and aesthetics. Through detailed documentation and thoughtful integration, we ensure your lighting control system provides intuitive operation while complementing your home's design. Let's explore the essential considerations for incorporating modern lighting control in luxury homes.

Modern Lighting Control Architecture

The foundation of modern lighting control lies in its centralized architecture. Unlike traditional homes, where each switch directly controls its electrical load, low-voltage keypad systems separate the control interface from the power switching. This allows us to consolidate all power switching into centralized panels, typically located in equipment rooms or dedicated electrical spaces.

This architecture dramatically reduces wall clutter by replacing multiple switches with elegant programmable keypads while providing unprecedented flexibility in control. Our detailed documentation specifies the low-voltage wiring requirements for each keypad location, and we work closely with electricians to coordinate power requirements and optimal control panel locations.

Design and Aesthetics

Lutron offers premium keypad collections with a broad range of sophisticated design options to complement any interior. From the sleek glass facades of Palladiom to the timeless metal finishes of Alisse, each style can be customized to match your home's aesthetic. Finish options include metals from aged brass to satin nickel, while button configurations adapt to each room's specific needs. For even further customizations, TruFig panels integrate the keypads within the wall finish for a sleeker, bespoke look. 

Keypad placement requires careful consideration of both functionality and design. We work with interior designers to ensure keypads integrate seamlessly with the overall home aesthetic while remaining intuitive to use. Collaborating with the vision of homeowners and designers, a single keypad can control multiple lighting zones and shades, maintaining clean sight lines and preserving wall space for artwork and furnishings.

It’s All in the Details

Smart technology has become essential in luxury homes, with sophisticated systems controlling everything from lighting to climate to entertainment. What differentiates one smart home from another? At Aurum, we believe the difference is how these systems are planned and integrated. We take an engineering-oriented approach, considering all the details and working closely with architects, designers, and builders from the earliest stages. It's an approach that strives to ensure that technology enhances a home's beauty and functionality but remains for the most part hidden. In this post, we're going to give you an overview of what we mean by this, and in the future, we'll dive into more detail on various subjects so you'll have a better sense of how we do what we do. 

Enhance Your Entertainment Space with Intelligent Shading

Home theaters have been around for a few decades already. In “old-school” theaters, you might be hunkered down in a dedicated room in almost full darkness for a movie night. Today's entertainment spaces have evolved far beyond that single-purpose design. Modern families want rooms that can transform—one moment, you're flooding the space with natural light for a big game, and the next, you're creating the perfect darkness for an immersive movie experience.

Controlling light is still important, but motorized shading has become about so much more. Want to turn part of your great room into an intimate viewing space? Create better acoustics without permanent wall treatments? Set the perfect scene for a movie premiere at home? Smart shading solutions can do all that and more. Imagine pressing one button and watching your space transform. Shades glide down silently, drapes part to reveal your screen, and lights dim to the perfect level. That's the magic of modern motorized shading—beyond controlling light, it can set up an entire environment. 

The Digital Foundation of Modern Luxury Homes

The digital revolution has touched almost every aspect of our lives, from the ubiquitous smartphone in pockets and purses to your car and now the home. It didn't come overnight, and you are now used to it, but sometimes, we need to step back and realize its scale. In modern luxury homes, automated lighting, climate control, security, and entertainment all depend on robust, reliable connectivity. Experts predict over 50 billion connected devices by 2025—including the connected refrigerator that you didn't know you needed ten years ago—so home networks must be able to keep up with the massive increases in traffic, both internally and to the internet. That's why at Aurum Home Technology, we insist on specifying, designing, and installing enterprise-grade network solutions in our clients’ homes to serve as the foundation of your digital lifestyle. 

A Cost-Effective Solution for Luxury Architectural Lighting

What’s new in luxury home lighting? As builders, you already understand what a revolution LED technology has been. You also appreciate how high-end lighting like Lutron’s Ketra has included new color capabilities beyond white light color temperature to add new dimensions to home illumination. Most likely, new form factors like linear lighting have enabled you to add illumination in novel ways that increase the aesthetic appeal of your projects. But now, Lutron has created a new product—the Rania D2 downlight—that not only inherits all the excellent qualities of advanced LED technology, but also gives you a new, more cost-effective approach to integrating this lighting into homes.

Enjoy Comfort, Style, and Convenience in All Four Seasons with Smart Shading Solutions

Motorized shades are a smart addition to any luxury home, especially in a four-season climate like Colorado's. While some might think their best and highest use is shielding your home from excess sunlight, they can do much more to enhance comfort year-round. From insulation on cold winter days to reducing glare in the summer, automated shades adapt easily to the season and the environment you want to create. Let's explore the key benefits that motorized shades can bring to your Boulder home.
