Designing a Luxury Home in Orange County, CA With Barco

Designing a Luxury Home in Orange County, CA With Barco

Published 1/27/2026

In Orange County’s most exclusive neighborhoods — from the oceanfront estates of Newport Coast to the modern homes of Laguna Beach and the classic elegance of Corona del Mar — every detail matters. Luxury home design is about more than materials and finishes; it's about creating an experience that feels refined, intentional, and effortless.

That’s why more homeowners and design professionals are choosing Barco projection systems as a core component of their home’s entertainment and lifestyle design. At Oasis Smart Homes, we help integrate Barco into luxury residences in a way that complements architecture, enhances daily living, and supports long-term reliability.

Why Barco Belongs in Your Luxury Home Design

Barco is recognized globally for its professional-grade projection technology, used in some of the world’s top cinemas and private screening rooms. But it’s the brand’s residential line that has become a go-to for discerning clients seeking exceptional performance within architecturally significant homes.

Key features include:

  • Native 4K and 8K resolution
  • Long-life laser light engines for minimal maintenance
  • High-lumen brightness for large screens or well-lit rooms
  • Whisper-quiet operation with minimal heat output
  • Seamless integration with Savant, Control4, Crestron, and Josh.ai

Whether you’re designing a dedicated home theater, a convertible media space, or an open-plan great room with integrated AV, Barco delivers an immersive experience that meets the expectations of today’s luxury lifestyle.

Integrating Barco Into the Design Phase

To maximize performance and preserve design integrity, it’s important to plan for Barco early in the design or construction process. At Oasis Smart Homes, we collaborate with your architect, builder, and interior designer to ensure that technology and aesthetics work in harmony.

Early-stage planning includes:

  • Projector placement, throw distance, and viewing geometry
  • Ventilation and thermal management
  • Screen sizing and material selection
  • Integration with acoustic treatments, lighting scenes, and shading systems
  • Custom cabinetry or recessed lift mechanisms for concealed installations

Our detailed engineering and CAD documentation ensures smooth communication between trades — so your project progresses without compromise or costly revisions.

Barco in Every Space

Barco is not just for theaters. Its flexibility allows for creative applications throughout the home.

Home Theater

A traditional luxury favorite — Barco’s performance shines in spaces purpose-built for immersive entertainment. Combine with Dolby Atmos sound, tiered seating, and Lutron lighting scenes for a cinematic experience on demand.

Multi-Use Media Rooms

Install Barco in your living room or great room with a retractable screen and motorized projector lift. By day, it’s a designer-friendly living space; by night, it transforms into a media-rich gathering area for family or guests.

Indoor-Outdoor Living

Barco’s high-lumen models are ideal for open-air environments, such as covered patios or rooftop lounges. Paired with ambient light-rejecting (ALR) screens and voice-controlled automation, it’s perfect for sunset screenings and al fresco entertaining.

Wellness and Creative Spaces

Barco projection can be used in home gyms, yoga studios, or art studios for visual immersion, guided workouts, or creative media display — adding inspiration to wellness routines and creative pursuits.

Controlled, Customized, and Effortless

We integrate Barco into a wider smart home platform so that lighting, shades, climate, and AV work together — all controlled from one elegant app or touch panel.

With one tap or voice command, you can:

  • Start a movie
  • Dim the lights
  • Lower the shades
  • Power up the projector
  • Activate your surround sound system

This seamless experience is what modern luxury demands — powerful yet intuitive, invisible yet fully integrated.
