Planning a Smart Home in Orange County, CA With Barco

Published 1/27/2026

Designing a luxury smart home is as much about crafting experiences as it is about installing technology. For homeowners and design professionals in Orange County, brands like Barco represent the pinnacle of home entertainment — delivering true cinematic quality within refined, architecturally integrated living spaces.

At Oasis Smart Homes, we partner with architects, builders, and interior designers to plan and implement Barco-powered home theaters and media environments as part of larger smart home ecosystems. If you're planning a residence in Newport Coast, Laguna Beach, Corona del Mar, or the surrounding coastal enclaves, here’s how to thoughtfully incorporate Barco projection systems into your project from day one.

The Value of Early Planning With Barco

Barco’s projection systems are high-performance, precision-calibrated, and space-sensitive, meaning they perform best when factored into the architectural and infrastructure planning of your home from the start.

Smart Home Planning Starts With:

  • Determining projector throw distance and room dimensions
  • Allocating space for ceiling lifts, mounts, or hidden projector enclosures
  • Coordinating screen size, viewing angles, and acoustic treatments
  • Ensuring thermal management and ventilation for long-term reliability

By involving Oasis Smart Homes early, you gain a team that handles AV design, lighting control, electrical, and automation engineering — all under one roof — eliminating surprises and ensuring flawless system performance.

Seamless Integration With Savant, Control4, Crestron & More

Barco is fully compatible with top-tier automation platforms like Savant, Crestron, Control4, and Josh.ai, giving homeowners effortless control over their entire home theater and AV ecosystem.

With a single app or voice command, you can:

  • Power on the projector
  • Lower the projector screen
  • Dim the Lutron lighting
  • Close motorized blackout shades
  • Start the movie instantly

This seamless integration makes Barco the perfect centerpiece of any smart home theater or media lounge, ensuring that form, function, and user experience are beautifully aligned.

Ideal Locations for Barco in Orange County Homes

Barco’s design flexibility allows for creative installations in a range of luxury environments, including:

Dedicated Home Theaters

Multi-Use Media Rooms

Transitional living rooms or entertainment lounges with hidden screens and discreet projector lifts, great for casual viewing that transforms into immersive movie nights.

Outdoor or Ocean-View Spaces

Coordinating With Design and Construction Teams

We work directly with your project team to ensure that Barco is integrated without disrupting the home’s architectural vision. That includes:

  • Designing custom enclosures that blend into ceilings or cabinetry
  • Collaborating on millwork and interior design coordination
