Light that Lives with You
Imagine waking up in the morning and feeling like you're basking in the beautiful scenery of the Hamptons, even when you're inside your home. That's the experience Sasha, a homeowner in the Hamptons Barnhouse, gets every day. The design of her home prioritizes creating an environment that ebbs and flows with her daily activities.
One of the key elements that contribute to this unique living experience is Ketra's Natural Show. The color temperature of the light automatically shifts throughout the day to stay in sync with the sun, making Sasha feel connected to the natural daylight outdoors. It's like living in harmony with nature, even when she's indoors.
To enhance this dynamic indoor-outdoor interplay, Lutron's motorized roller shades have been integrated into the space. The combination of Ketra light and Lutron shades creates a visually seamless transition from indoors to outdoors. It truly feels like a natural environment, bringing a sense of tranquility and peace to Sasha's home. With the touch of a button, she can now enjoy total light control throughout her entire living space, thanks to the HomeWorks QSX control system.
If Sasha needs a change of pace in the middle of the day, she can activate the "Energize" setting to make her space feel fresh and cool, providing a boost of focus and clarity. As the evening approaches, the Ketra light automatically dims to a warm glow, creating a soothing ambiance after a day of design work. And when it's time to sleep, the Lutron blackout shades ensure that Sasha and her guests won't be disturbed by the ultra-bright Hamptons sun, unless they want to be.

Peace with Pops of Color
For Sasha's modern barnhouse, the inspiration was pure and simple: nature. She wanted her home to feel like a relaxed and zen sanctuary, fresh and in tune with its surrounding environment. Collaboration with veteran A/V consultant and Lutron dealer, Rob Davis from Audio Interiors, brought Sasha's vision to life.
Ketra's Natural Show was strategically used to blend indoor light with natural light, creating a sense of boundless flow and keeping Sasha close to nature. The spaces now feel airy and bright, exuding a tranquil ambiance. To control the lights in her home, Sasha got early access to Lutron's newest Alisse keypads, which were installed in a stunning Aged Bronze shade. The hand-finished, ultra-luxe materials perfectly complement her elevated aesthetic.
When it's time to host a party, Ketra's tunable color enables Sasha to incorporate her signature boldness into the space effortlessly. Each Ketra fixture produces a full spectrum of color, allowing her to create vibrant and colorful atmospheres for entertaining. But even with all this versatility, the space always reverts back to its foundational serenity, creating a harmonious blend of Sasha's personal style and the natural surroundings.
Throughout the home, Ketra's lighting is used to bring out the magic in unique furnishings and finishes. For example, Sasha chose a beautiful slab of Afghani granite with unique turquoise veins for the kitchen counters. Vibrancy scenes were set up to accentuate the colors of the granite. At the same time, Lutron's shades protect Sasha's designer furnishings from harmful UV rays while preserving the breathtaking beachfront views.
In the end, Sasha achieved the calm and tranquility she desired, while also injecting pops of color that reflect her vibrant personality.
Distinct Spaces and Signature Shows
Open floor plans have been popular for many years, but they can sometimes make it challenging to define each room's purpose and tailor the space to different needs. Rob Davis tackled this challenge by leveraging Lutron's easy programming and custom settings to create distinct areas within the kitchen, dining area, and living room.
To further enhance the unique atmosphere of each space, Ketra's infinitely customizable color palette was employed. Sasha and Davis worked together to sculpt scenes that reflect her individual tastes and influences. From vibrant, colorful shows for entertaining to soft, rosy pinks for special occasions like her wedding reception, Ketra lighting brings Sasha's imagination to life.
In the Hamptons Barnhouse, every corner tells a different story. The distinctive spaces, harmonious lighting, and pops of color create a truly immersive experience that reflects Sasha's personality and showcases the beauty of the natural surroundings.
So, if you're looking to create a serene and vibrant living space that seamlessly blends with nature, take inspiration from Sasha's modern barnhouse in the Hamptons. With the right lighting and thoughtful design, you can transform your home into a sanctuary that brings joy and peace to your everyday life.
