Frisco grows fast and the homes grow with it. Starwood, Stonebriar, Newman Village – the residences Jimmy Abrams designs systems for in Frisco are large, new, and full of the kind of glass and ceiling height that demand a properly considered lighting and shading plan. A house this size is not the place for a stock package and a remote on the coffee table.
Jimmy designs Frisco lighting around the architecture. Recessed downlighting calibrated to the rooms, with beam angles aimed at the rugs and the artwork instead of the framing plan. Cove and tape lighting integrated into the millwork. Decorative fixtures selected with the interior designer. Picture lighting tuned to the work over the mantel. All of it dimmable to two percent, all of it on a single Lutron HomeWorks or Control4 system.
Motorized shading is almost always part of a Frisco project. The glazing is tall and the afternoon sun is real. Jimmy specifies whisper-quiet roller shades with fabrics selected against the room finishes, ties them to an astronomical clock, and groups them so the family room and breakfast room move together. The shades protect the rugs and the artwork from the western sun every afternoon, automatically, without anyone thinking about it.
Most Frisco systems Jimmy designs are anchored on a small number of well-placed keypads. Four-button at the entry, five-button in the primary, an engraved keypad at the back door for the patio and the pool. The buttons are labeled in plain English. The scenes match the way the family lives. Morning. Afternoon. Dinner. Movie. Goodnight.
Because Jimmy runs the studio himself, the person who walks your Frisco home in the first meeting is the same person who programs the system on move-in day. There are no project managers in between, no junior techs sent to the trim. Twenty-five years of integration work taught him what gets lost in the handoffs, and his studio is built to remove them.
If you are building or renovating in Frisco and you want a smart home that is actually simple to use, Jimmy will come walk the house with you for free. One conversation with the person who will do the work, no salesperson, no pressure.
