A custom home means anything is possible. Buyers carefully choose the right architect, builder and designer to wrap a house around their dreams. Significant time is spent considering how the home will appear from a variety of angles. After all, the way someone lives, entertains and enjoys the space is what makes their beautiful structure their home.

But it’s often the invisible qualities that make an exquisite property a truly authentic extension of the owner. No one knows better how to make a home as personal and enjoyable as Mike Patille and the team at Overture.

Overture is a nationally recognized leader in home electronics with a clear vision to make the lives of their clients better by making their homes more enjoyable and easier to manage. That means their team is involved in every stage—from the blueprints to the final inspection. Everything Overture does is custom-fit to the expressed desire of the homeowner. Each home seamlessly integrates the highest quality products elegantly and unobtrusively to enhance the home and property. Overture inspires a homeowner to personalize their home so entertainment, energy efficiency and automation make it hard to leave.

“How do you want your sound to look?” Overture begins initial planning meetings by asking this provocative question. Instead of cluttering a beautifully designed space, they can make state-of-the-art in-home music systems invisible without sacrificing the audio quality that is as near the artist’s intent as possible. The team’s audiophile solutions are not limited to a specialized listening environment in the home. Overture will provide unsurpassed listening outside by a pool, patio, or backyard, hidden in the environment, unnoticed but not unheard.

With custom lighting control systems, Overture can create any mood while entertaining or relaxing and affords security when a homeowner is away. Because a home’s decor combines function and style, Overture designs lighting systems to emphasize the carefully planned environment. The right lighting solution also makes a home safer and more convenient. Some homeowners enjoy easy-to-use keypads, touchscreens or apps on their phones or devices. Others have a system designed to turn on lights via motion sensors so they never have to touch a switch. Almost infinite flexibility means that any home can be fully customized to provide the comfort and safety desired.

Many homeowners prefer large, expansive windows to capitalize on the beautiful views, natural light, and expansive waterfront across the Delmarva Peninsula. As stunning as intense natural light can be, it can damage furnishings and artwork and cause heating and cooling issues—privacy may also be sacrificed. Motorized window shading systems are the solution to solve any lighting, energy and privacy issues. The systems work with the convenience of programmable technology. No matter the preference, the look fits the customer’s needs. Overture always suggests the best options.

Each custom home solution is unique. Each homeowner has different needs and wants. Overture offers more than the highest quality components available from around the world. Having the experience to ask the right questions, choose the right products, and oversee an invisible installation makes a difference that can be experienced for years. No two homeowners are alike, and their homes should not be either. Overture makes sure of it. CS
