With the koi pond rippling nearby, this outdoor space silently screams tranquility. For those days where the homeowners need a soundtrack to relax, equipment doesn’t interrupt, fool, or bother Mother Nature here.

Eight pairs of speakers are hidden throughout the backyard to create a heavenly sounding ambiance.  Whether swinging in the hammock, swimming in the pool, or soaking in the hot tub, the audio system is easily accessible, and adds a relaxing element to this outdoor space.
