Modern Home Design Trends in Orange County, CA Using madVR
Published 1/27/2026
Luxury homes in Orange County are no longer defined by square footage alone—they’re defined by experience. In sought-after communities like Newport Coast, Laguna Beach, and Corona del Mar, today’s custom homes blend modern architecture with hidden smart technologies that elevate daily living. One of the most exciting tools in this evolution is madVR Envy, the industry’s leading video processor for performance-driven media integration.
At Oasis Smart Homes, we specialize in blending cutting-edge technology like madVR into modern home designs—where innovation, elegance, and everyday simplicity coexist seamlessly. Here’s how madVR is shaping the future of high-end home design in Orange County.
1. Hidden Media Rooms That Prioritize Interior Design
Modern homes are moving away from tech-dominated rooms and toward clean, multifunctional living spaces. We work closely with architects and interior designers to integrate madVR into spaces where aesthetic flow matters just as much as performance.
Think: a living room with invisible in-ceiling speakers, a motorized projection screen that disappears behind millwork, and video processing powered by madVR—delivering rich 4K HDR visuals without ever seeing a piece of equipment.
2. Dedicated Theaters Designed as Architectural Features
Today’s home theaters aren’t dark caves—they’re curated environments with designer finishes, acoustic treatments, and lighting scenes that rival high-end hospitality spaces. With madVR Envy at the heart of your system, every visual is optimized for your projection and screen combo, allowing the rest of the room to shine.
We build statement theaters with:
- Sound isolation and optimized sight lines
- Smart lighting scenes (e.g., Lutron Ketra) for mood and function
- Materials that support both aesthetics and acoustics
- Custom programming to match viewing preferences
3. Outdoor Entertainment with madVR Performance
In Orange County, outdoor living is a year-round experience. We’re seeing rising demand for open-air media spaces with displays that perform just as well as indoor setups. By pairing madVR with weather-rated displays and AV systems, homeowners can enjoy beautifully processed sports, movies, or ambient content on the patio, by the pool, or in rooftop lounges.
Add voice control with Josh.ai, lighting scenes, and motorized shades for sun and glare control—and your backyard becomes an entertainment sanctuary.
4. Integrated Art Walls and Ambient Video Spaces
A growing trend in modern design is the use of digital canvases—displays that rotate between ambient motion art, high-res photography, and digital décor. These pieces are often in main living areas or transitional spaces.
With madVR, even art and ambient visuals are processed with true-to-life clarity, giving your home an elevated, gallery-like experience without sacrificing performance for beauty.
5. Automation Scenes That Complement Minimalist Living
One key to modern home design is simplicity—and madVR works seamlessly with smart platforms like Savant and Josh.ai to create intuitive, voice-activated or app-based control of your entire AV setup.
Imagine saying “movie night” and watching as:
- Your lights dim
- Shades lower
- The projector powers on
- Your favorite film begins—upscaled and tone-mapped by madVR
It's not just smart—it’s refined automation, custom programmed to match your lifestyle.
Design Collaboration with Builders and Architects
Oasis Smart Homes works hand-in-hand with your design team to ensure that madVR and other AV systems are considered early in the design process—just like lighting and electrical. We handle:
- Low-voltage coordination and prewire
- Equipment ventilation and cabinetry planning

This results in fewer compromises, cleaner installations, and smoother construction timelines.
