GWI’s awards weren’t applied for — they were earned. CE Pro’s Home of the Year doesn’t go to the company with the best brochure; it goes to the integrator that builds the most technically sophisticated, beautifully designed, and functionally excellent home theater or smart home system of the year. CEDIA’s Best Media Room award is peer-reviewed by the industry’s top engineers. Best of Houzz is driven entirely by client reviews — 400+ homeowners who chose to recommend GWI publicly, seven years running.
CE Pro Home of the Year
CE Pro is the smart home industry’s most widely read trade publication. Home of the Year recognizes the most exceptional residential technology project in the country. GWI has earned this distinction — a recognition of both technical execution and design integration at the highest level.
CEDIA Best Media Room
CEDIA (Custom Electronics Design & Installation Association) is the industry’s primary professional organization. Best Media Room is judged by a panel of engineering and design experts. This award validates GWI’s home theater design capability at the industry’s elite level.
Best of Houzz — 7 Consecutive Years
Houzz is the largest residential design platform in the world. Best of Houzz is awarded based entirely on client reviews and ratings — no industry judges, no application process. Seven consecutive years means seven consecutive years of clients choosing to publicly recommend GWI.
Forbes Featured
Forbes’ coverage of GWI focused on the intersection of luxury real estate and smart home technology — recognizing GWI as a leader at the front of a rapidly evolving industry. For GWI’s UHNW clientele, Forbes credibility matters.
13 Years of Los Angeles Luxury Integration
GWI was founded in 2011 with a single thesis: the most successful people in the world deserve technology that actually works. Not technology that impresses on a showroom floor and frustrates at home. Technology that disappears into the background of a well-lived life. 400+ luxury residences later, in Bel Air, Pacific Palisades, Beverly Hills, Malibu, and across the second-home markets where GWI’s clients live — that thesis is proven. The awards are evidence. The referrals are the real validation.
