GWI’s CEDIA Award-Winning Projects: What Sets Us Apart

Global Wave Integration has received four CEDIA awards — the industry’s highest recognition for excellence in residential technology integration. These awards aren’t just trophies. They’re independent validation of the standard we hold ourselves to on every project.

Our CEDIA Awards

  • 2025 CEDIA Excellence in Innovation — for the Wave of Wellness™ platform, recognized as the most significant innovation in residential technology integration
  • 2025 CEDIA Best Media Room — for a luxury home cinema installation in the Greater Los Angeles area
  • 2025 CEDIA Tech Designer Best Design — for architectural integration that set a new standard for technology-meets-interior-design
  • 2021 CE Pro Home of the Year — for a complete luxury estate integration recognized as the best residential technology project in the country

What CEDIA Awards Actually Mean

CEDIA (the Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association) is the global trade association for home technology professionals. CEDIA award submissions are reviewed by independent judges — working professionals in architecture, interior design, and technology integration — who evaluate projects on technical execution, design integration, innovation, and client experience.

Winning a CEDIA award is not a participation trophy. The 2021 CE Pro Home of the Year, for example, was selected from thousands of luxury residential projects completed that year across the country. GWI’s project was the best.
