SMART HOMES.
EXTRAORDINARY PURPOSE.

ITAM's work with the Gary Sinise Foundation was never simply about the electronics. It was about making everyday experiences more convenient, accessible and comfortable for wounded veterans and their families.

SPECIALLY ADAPTED SMART HOMES

Six projects, six individual families and six distinct sets of needs. ITAM partnered in the Foundation's larger homebuilding effort and designed the connected-home technology that made everyday functions easier to operate.

TECHNOLOGY IN SERVICE OF INDEPENDENCE

EVERY SYSTEM HAS A PURPOSE.

ELAN control, coordinated lighting and shades, climate, security, intercom, entertainment, and purposeful user interfaces—selected and programmed to fit each household.

LIGHTING & SHADING

Make changes conveniently from integrated controls instead of navigating individual systems.

COMFORT & COMMUNICATION

Multi-zone temperature control and intercom capability that support everyday routines.

ENTERTAINMENT & SECURITY

High-quality audio and video integrated alongside appropriately configured cameras and access.

ORIGINAL COVERAGE & PROJECT RECORDS

DOCUMENTED. PERSONAL. ENDURING.

These stories are supported by ITAM's original press archive and the Gary Sinise Foundation's published project accounts. The historical photographs and racks from the user-owned project archive are being kept associated with the correct homes rather than reassigned as generic imagery.

KEEP WHAT WORKS. IMPROVE WHAT DOESN’T. ADD WHAT INSPIRES.

LET TECHNOLOGY SERVE THE PEOPLE IT WAS DESIGNED FOR.
