Smarter Homes designs and deploys engineered technology systems for luxury residences in Tarrytown, one of Austin's oldest and most design-forward neighborhoods. From intelligent lighting and motorized shading to enterprise networking, security, and architectural audio, our work across the area is planned as long-term infrastructure, not a bolt-on gadget install. Every system is coordinated with the architects, builders, and interior designers shaping the neighborhood's historic estates and modern rebuilds, so the technology performs for decades and stays invisible until you need it.
About Tarrytown
Tarrytown is a concentrated pocket of high-value residential architecture bordered by West 35th Street to the north, Lake Austin to the west, Enfield Road to the south, and MoPac to the east. The area, including Pemberton Heights and Old West Austin, blends 1920s- 1940s Colonial Revival and Tudor estates, many of them protected historic landmarks, with a steady wave of high-end remodels and ground-up rebuilds. Heritage Oaks, deep lots, and Lake Austin adjacency define the setting.
From a technology standpoint, Tarrytown presents a specific challenge: original homes were never wired for modern connected systems, plaster-and-lath walls degrade Wi-Fi performance, and preservation constraints limit where equipment and cabling can be installed. Success here depends on retrofit expertise, careful coordination with design teams, and clean, serviceable infrastructure that respects the original architecture.
Smart Technology Solutions for Tarrytown Homes
Four system categories matter most in Tarrytown's mix of historic and newly rebuilt homes. Each is engineered and installed by Smarter Homes as part of a single, cohesive ecosystem.
Retrofit Intelligent Lighting for Historic Homes
Retrofit lighting brings panelized, scene-based control to homes that were never designed for it, without tearing into original walls and millwork. In Tarrytown's landmark estates, that means dimmable, tunable-white fixtures, discreet keypads that replace cluttered switch banks, and lighting scenes coordinated with your interior designer's plan. We design the load and control layout first, then install with minimal disruption to plaster, trim, and finishes.
Architectural Audio and Whole-Home Sound
Architectural audio delivers high-fidelity sound through speakers that disappear into the ceiling and walls, preserving the sightlines of a design-forward home. For Tarrytown clients, we plan zones room by room: living spaces, primary suites, patios overlooking the lake, and integrate them into a single, simple control interface. Concealed placement and clean wiring matter as much as the audio itself in these homes.
Enterprise Wi-Fi and Structured Wiring for Established Homes
Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi provides reliable, whole-property coverage that consumer routers cannot deliver in older, masonry-and-plaster homes on large lots. We survey the structure, place access points to defeat thick walls and detached spaces, and back the network with structured wiring or fiber where the architecture allows. This is the backbone that every other system depends on.

Clean Rack Design, Security, and Access Control
A well-designed equipment rack keeps a home's technology organized, serviceable, and out of sight, a priority in homes where closet and mechanical space is limited. Alongside the rack, we integrate security cameras, an alarm, and access control into the same ecosystem, with professional monitoring available. Everything is documented and labeled for long-term serviceability.

Our Work in Tarrytown
Smarter Homes' Tarrytown projects range from full-system integrations in new rebuilds to sensitive retrofits of protected historic homes. Typical scopes include multi-zone lighting redesigns coordinated with a designer, enterprise network overhauls in plaster-walled estates, and concealed architectural audio for homes near Lake Austin.
Builders and Design Partners in Tarrytown
Most Tarrytown projects begin with a trade partner, not a homeowner. Smarter Homes collaborates with custom builders, architects, and interior designers, handling low-voltage planning, rack design, and client technology meetings so their teams stay focused on the build. Early coordination during design and pre-wire prevents costly change orders and retrofit work later.
