Smart Home Mar Vista
Mar Vista’s creative professionals and design-forward homeowners deserve smart home systems with equal design sensibility. GWI brings award-winning integration to one of LA’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
Smart Home Integration for Mar Vista’s Design-Forward Community
Mar Vista has emerged as one of West LA’s most vibrant neighborhoods — a community of architects, designers, tech entrepreneurs, and creative professionals who appreciate both innovation and aesthetics. This audience sets a high bar for their home technology, and GWI consistently clears it. Our Mar Vista installations reflect the neighborhood’s design ethos: clean lines, purposeful functionality, and zero visual clutter.
The neighborhood’s mix of remodeled mid-century ranches, modern new builds, and loft-style spaces creates diverse smart home opportunities. GWI designs for every context — from wireless-only retrofits in older structures to fully planned low-voltage systems in new construction. Mar Vista projects range from $70,000 to $400,000 depending on scope and property size.
GWI’s 33 industry awards and Forbes recognition give Mar Vista clients confidence that they’re working with a team that has been validated at the highest levels. But what wins our Mar Vista clients over consistently is the quality of our design thinking — systems that are as intentional as the homes they inhabit.
Modern AV Design
Minimalist AV installations with concealed wiring, recessed speakers, and hidden displays that honor your home’s architectural vision.
Lutron Shading & Lighting
Motorized roller and solar shades paired with Lutron dimming systems — controlling light, privacy, and energy throughout the day.
Smart Home Networking
Wi-Fi 6E enterprise mesh networks that eliminate dead zones and support 200+ simultaneous devices without interruption.
Voice & App Control
Control4 integration with Alexa, Google, and Apple HomeKit — controlling your entire home with natural voice commands or a single app.
Technology That Disappears Into Your Mar Vista Home
The best technology is invisible — and GWI’s Mar Vista installations are designed to disappear into your home’s fabric. Speakers flush-mounted in ceilings and walls. Keypads that match your wall finishes perfectly. Displays that recess into cabinetry or rise from credenzas. Wires that never show. The result is a home that feels calm, curated, and effortlessly intelligent.
This philosophy extends to the user experience. GWI designs interfaces so intuitive that guests often assume the home is simply magical — shades that open as the sun rises, lights that set the perfect dinner mood automatically, music that follows you from room to room. Technology that enhances life without demanding attention.

We love collaborating with design professionals. GWI provides detailed CAD drawings, finish specifications, and product samples to integrate seamlessly with your design intent.
What smart home features are most popular in Mar Vista?
Motorized shading, whole-home audio, and automated lighting scenes are most popular — followed closely by home theater rooms and smart security systems.

For most Mar Vista homes, Control4 offers the best combination of capability, value, and design flexibility. Crestron is recommended for larger, more complex properties where maximum customization is required.
