D.E.C.
Project Intro
While we’re recognized for luxury residential projects, ResTech Systems also redefines what’s possible in the commercial world. Our recent collaboration with D.E.C. - Designing Earth Contracting proves just that. This client wanted bold, luxurious, and truly standout commercial solutions that go far beyond a standard setup, where corporate functionality meets lifestyle refinement in every detail. D.E.C. wanted to provide best-in-class spaces for work, collaboration, entertainment, and employee well-being - all supported by robust security and seamless tech. Here’s how ResTech Systems brought this vision to life.
Security and Surveillance
No more keys or worries about who has access. Now, if a team member leaves, access is revoked instantly - codes can be updated remotely. With high-definition surveillance and instant notifications, management can track, document, and respond quickly to any breach, minimizing exposure and maximizing complete peace of mind.
Enterprise-Grade Networking
Lighting and Shading
Smart lighting isn't only for homes - it plays a significant role in how a commercial space functions and feels. ResTech Systems installed custom lighting control systems and designer-grade fixtures throughout the building. From huddle spaces to training rooms, each area is thoughtfully lit to support productivity and comfort. Want to highlight a presentation space? Done. Need softer lighting in collaborative zones? Easily adjusted. It’s about having full control at your fingertips - and using light to shape the environment.
Collaboration & Training Spaces
Entertainment and Employee Experience
This might be a commercial setup, but D.E.C. treats its team like family - and the space reflects that. One standout feature is a hybrid sports simulator that supports golf, driving, and other interactive sports activities. Employees can bring their kids in, unwind after hours, or just enjoy a break during the workday. Music and audio systems inside and out keep the mood just right - whether it’s background tunes during the day or bringing energy to team-building events and celebrations.

We invite you to keep reading to explore the awe-inspiring final results of our efforts and get a better idea for the types of installations we do in the Edina and Plymouth area.

Savant Home Control
Savant home automation is the brain powering this gorgeous luxury home in the Edina and Plymouth area. At ResTech Systems, we love Savant due to its ease of use and streamlined, elegant interface design. Our clients now have multiple ways to manage and adjust their home technologies. We installed wall-mounted touchscreens for the family to easily view and control AV, lighting, smart blinds, security, surveillance, and entry access. Additionally, we mounted several on-wall keypads for one-touch access to lighting settings and favorite scenes around the house. And finally, anyone in the family can access the Savant home from the Pro App on their smartphones.
Enterprise-Grade Networking
Lighting and Shading
Halfway through the project, our clients decided they wanted motorized shades on the back porch too. The problem? We hadn’t wired for them because the client hadn’t brought it up during the planning phase. Our elegant solution was to install SI exterior motorized shades powered by a long-lasting lithium battery. Now the family can enjoy time on the patio with protective shades for privacy and sun protection.
Home Entertainment
Our clients entertain A LOT. Their teenage children often have friends over, and the family frequently invites extended family members to spend time at the lake house. Therefore, they needed multiple entertainment options to satisfy guests of all ages.
First up, we designed a dedicated home theater with a Sony projector, Stewart projection screen, Paradigm speakers, JL Audio subwoofers, and color-changing DMX lighting for an immersive movie-watching experience. Next, we installed a Full Swing golf simulator that’s sure to provide hours of entertainment. Finally, we installed a landscape audio system with Ambisonic speakers to bring high-performance sound to outdoor parties, pool days, and barbecues.

Maxwell Bay
A Perfect Marriage of Design & Technology
Project Intro
ResTech Systems recently wrapped another custom home for a client in Minnesota: the Maxwell Bay project! We spent months working with various trade partners on the project to integrate whole-home automation, lighting and shading solutions, smart home security, a dedicated home theater, and a central vacuum system into our client’s luxury estate.
Technology Goals
Luckily, Savant is more than capable of unifying large estates and multiple systems under a centralized operating platform. With Savant, the client can control everything in the house using the Savant Pro mobile app. Additionally, we installed several wall-mounted keypads for easy, one-touch access to lighting and other frequently used scenes.
Design Goals
Our team worked with the HVAC contractor to relocate nine wall-mounted thermostats and replace them with inconspicuous temperature sensors painted to match the surrounding walls, removing unnecessary clutter while still ensuring intuitive climate control. We also worked with a contractor to build custom wood pockets that conceal the home’s motorized shades while still providing easy access for servicing.
The client benefited from bringing our team in early to work with the other trades on-site at the Maxwell Bay house. Using a collaborative process, we were able to install the smart solutions our client desired while reducing technology clutter and maintaining the home’s beautiful interior design.
Solutions
We installed whole home automation with Savant and multiple technology subsystems to make our client’s lifestyle more comfortable and easier to maintain.
- A central vacuum system from VACUFLO keeps the Maxwell Bay home looking and feeling clean, healthy, and dust-free.
- Camouflaged temperatures probes maintain a comfortable temperature in every room based on the family’s preferences and the outside weather.
- Vantage lighting control with toe kick lighting and occupancy sensors plus motorized shades from QMotion ensure the house is always illuminated to the client’s desires.
- Honeywell security and IC Realtime cameras proactively protect the family and property.
- Paradigm’s landscape speakers and retractable outdoor shades from Progressive Screens turn the backyard into a relaxing oasis.
- A dedicated home theater with a Sony projector provides hours of entertainment for the whole family.
- An enterprise-grade network from Luxul and Ruckus keeps the Maxwell Bay house functioning without interruption.

Sumiko
Best-in-Class Projectors, Screens, and Home Automation
Project Intro
Sumiko is the leading importer and distributor of hi-end audio products in North America, and the home theater is a part of their showroom near Plymouth, MN. They wanted a space that offered their clients the experience that a home theater with high-quality audio-video equipment provides. Let’s explore the results.
The Edgeless Screen
Some view the selection of screens as an afterthought, but they are critically important to the final image and the aesthetics of a media room or home theater. For those of you who have seen Screen Innovations hand-built edgeless screen, you understand the difference and the remarkable image it evokes. The screen sits off the wall by about 1.5 inches and looks like an extremely thin, enormous, and floating flat-screen TV. The wall gap is for the backlit LED lighting that illuminates in virtually any color and brightness level and offers a striking visual.
The silver-colored screen is made up of a micro texture surface that is nine times finer and smoother than normal screen materials. This means that, with Sony’s 4K premium laser projector, you’ll experience sharp and crisp images even with ambient light.
The Perfect Picture
The VPL-GTZ380 represents Sony’s premium laser projector. Due to its 10,000-lumen brightness and unique 3-channel laser light source, it offers brilliant images with striking realism. It utilizes Sony’s X1 Ultimate processor that provides real-time enhancement for every scene, analyzing each one for precise dynamic tone mapping of HDR content.
The result is strikingly impressive images with rich colors, deep blacks, and bright, vivid detail.
Controlled By Savant
The home entertainment system is controlled by Savant home automation. The system offers the ultimate in customizable options. One tap on a smartphone app or handheld remote and the lights dim, while the film and audio begin.
At our client’s homes, we regularly create customized scenes. For example, one touch may lower the projector from the ceiling, start the audio, dim the lights, lower the blackout shades, and lock the front door. Almost anything is possible with this smart home brand. At ResTech Systems, we get excited about using the latest innovations to create the best entertainment with premium smart home products and systems. But, more importantly, we get excited about sharing the possibilities with our clients and ensuring the results exceed their expectations. We’re here to create the smart home and entertainment that meshes with your needs and stays within your budget.
