Barco Trends Among Luxury Residences in Orange County, CA

In the world of luxury home design, the focus has expanded beyond aesthetics to include immersive, lifestyle-enhancing technology. Nowhere is this more evident than in the growing demand for Barco Residential systems in high-end properties throughout Orange County, CA—including Newport Coast, Laguna Beach, and Corona del Mar.

As a trusted partner for smart home automation, media room design, and custom AV integration, Oasis Smart Homes has seen firsthand how Barco is redefining the standard for in-home entertainment. If you're planning a custom home or upgrading a legacy system, here’s what’s trending with Barco in today’s most exclusive residences.

1. Ultra-Discrete Theater Design with Barco

Today’s luxury homeowners are opting for media rooms and private cinemas that blend into the home’s architectural vision. Barco projectors are uniquely engineered to support this trend.

Low-profile ceiling or wall-mounted installations, hidden projector lifts, and retractable screens allow Barco systems to perform like commercial theaters while remaining virtually invisible when not in use.

At Oasis, we work closely with interior designers and architects to create systems that feel fully integrated with the home's design.

2. Multi-Use Living Spaces with Theater-Grade Projection

Barco isn’t limited to dedicated home theaters. One of the biggest trends we’re seeing across Orange County is high-brightness projection systems in open-concept spaces.

Living rooms with motorized blackout shades, great rooms with hidden screens, and even outdoor AV environments are now featuring projection systems that adapt to different lighting conditions.

Thanks to Barco’s ambient light rejection technology, these flexible media spaces are immersive at any time of day.

3. Voice-Activated Control with Savant and Josh.ai

Luxury homeowners expect technology to be intuitive. That's why Barco is frequently integrated with Savant, Crestron, Control4, and voice assistants like Josh.ai.

Say “Movie Night” and your Barco projector powers on, lights dim, shades close, and your surround sound engages—all with a single voice command or tap on a touchscreen.

Our clients love how seamlessly Barco fits into a fully integrated smart home, delivering a sophisticated experience with zero complexity.

4. 8K and Future-Ready Installations

Forward-thinking homeowners are investing in future-ready AV infrastructure. Barco’s modular approach makes it a favorite among those building or renovating forever homes.

With native 4K and 8K resolution, advanced HDR, and a wide color gamut, Barco delivers true-to-life visuals and scalable systems that can evolve over time.

We engineer each installation for long-term performance, integrating only premium components designed to last.

5. Concierge-Level Integration from Start to Finish

Installing Barco in a luxury residence requires more than technical skill—it demands white-glove service and design sensitivity. At Oasis Smart Homes, we provide a seamless, stress-free process.

Our Process:

1. Private consultation to understand your vision and lifestyle
2. Collaborative design with your builder and interior designer
3. Expert engineering and installation by Barco-certified professionals
