Smart Home Systems for Malibu’s Coastal Estates
Malibu homes are architecturally unique — open floor plans that blur indoor and outdoor living, floor-to-ceiling glass facing the Pacific, and property layouts that span steep topography. GWI designs systems that embrace these characteristics rather than fighting them.

GWI specifies equipment rated for coastal environments — corrosion-resistant outdoor speakers, sealed enclosures, and marine-grade networking hardware.
Outdoor AV & Lighting
Whole-property audio and lighting extending to decks, terraces, pool areas, and beachside outdoor rooms — all controlled from one interface.
Automated Shading
Lutron motorized shading that reacts to ocean glare, wind speed, and sun angle — protecting interiors while preserving views.
Whole-Home Networking
Enterprise Wi-Fi covering every acre of large Malibu compounds — including detached structures, guest houses, and beachfront areas.
