What Luxury Homeowners in Orange County, CA Should Know About Barco

What Luxury Homeowners in Orange County, CA Should Know About Barco

Published 1/27/2026

Luxury living in Orange County is defined by exceptional design, effortless control, and immersive experiences. Whether you're building a new estate in Newport Coast, upgrading your media space in Laguna Beach, or creating a modern home theater in Corona del Mar, one name consistently stands out in high-end home entertainment: Barco.

At Oasis Smart Homes, we design and install Barco-powered projection systems in some of the region’s most prestigious homes — seamlessly integrating them into refined architecture and intelligent automation systems. If you're considering Barco for your residence, here’s what you should know before getting started.

1. Barco Is a Benchmark in Cinematic Performance

Barco is renowned for its legacy in professional cinema, simulation, and visualization, now refined for elite residential spaces. Their projectors offer:

  • Native 4K and 8K resolution
  • Laser light engines with 20,000+ hours of life
  • Ultra-high brightness for large and ambient-lit rooms
  • Deep black levels and accurate color reproduction

For movie enthusiasts, entertainers, or homeowners who simply appreciate best-in-class performance, Barco transforms any room into a cinematic destination.

2. It’s Built for High-End Homes — and Architects Love It

Barco systems are designed to disappear into luxury architecture. Whether installed in a custom home theater, a multi-use living room, or a covered outdoor media space, Barco’s flexibility supports today’s design priorities:

  • Ceiling-recessed or lift-mounted installation
  • Rear-projection and ultra-short throw options
  • Integration with motorized screens, hidden cabinetry, and clean-lined interiors

At Oasis Smart Homes, we collaborate with your architect and interior designer to ensure that the technology enhances — not interrupts — your aesthetic vision.

3. It's Perfectly Paired With Whole-Home Automation

Barco integrates seamlessly with luxury smart home platforms such as:

  • Savant
  • Control4
  • Crestron
  • Josh.ai

This means you can control the entire theater experience with a single tap or voice command:

  • Power on the projector
  • Lower the screen
  • Dim the Lutron lights
  • Close the motorized shades
  • Start your favorite film or stream

The result? A perfectly choreographed experience that works as beautifully as it looks.

4. It Requires Proper Planning and Installation

Because Barco is a high-performance solution, it works best when planned early in the design or renovation process. Oasis Smart Homes handles every detail, including:

  • Projector placement and throw distance calculations
  • Thermal ventilation and acoustics
  • Low-voltage, power, and control system design
  • CAD drawings and builder coordination

We ensure your Barco system is not only beautifully installed but also engineered for long-term reliability.

5. It Can Be Customized for Any Lifestyle

Barco systems aren’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you want a private theater with tiered seating, a media wall in your great room, or an outdoor screen for al fresco entertaining, we tailor every element to your space, taste, and needs.

Popular applications include:

  • Dedicated home theaters with Dolby Atmos audio
  • Living room media zones with hidden projectors
  • Ocean-view spaces with retractable screens and ALR technology
  • Outdoor pavilions with weather-resistant AV systems

No matter the environment, we ensure your content looks and sounds incredible.

6. You’re Supported Long After the Installation
