Pool House & Ketra Lighting — Outdoor Entertainment Design
Tunable Ketra lighting, a weatherproof display, and landscape audio turn the pool deck into the most-used room of the house after dark.
Location
Greenwood Village, Colorado
Project type
New pool house and terrace
Lighting
Ketra tunable white and color
Audio
Buried subwoofers and landscape satellites
The challenge
Exterior lighting had to be beautiful at dusk, invisible at noon, and survive Colorado hail, freeze-thaw cycles, and pool chemistry — while audio needed to cover a large deck without annoying the neighbors.
Our approach
Ketra fixtures were specified for tunable white and color, so the deck can be warm and low for dinner or saturated for a party, with the color temperature shifting on an astronomic schedule.
Audio uses buried subwoofers and small satellites distributed around the perimeter — even coverage at conversational volume instead of two loud speakers at one end.
The outdoor display is a full-sun-readable weatherproof model on an articulating mount, wired back to the main head-end so it shares sources with the rest of the house.
The result
One scene button takes the entire exterior from daylight to dinner to late-night swim, and the family uses the space three seasons a year instead of two.
Systems installed
Light that follows the sun
Ketra's tunable fixtures shift color temperature across the evening on an astronomic clock, so the terrace warms as the sky does. Landscape, architectural, and water-feature lighting all run on the same platform as the interior, which means one 'Away' press turns the whole property down.
Weatherproof, not weather-tolerant
Every exterior component was specified for direct sun, hail, and freeze-thaw: sealed enclosures, marine-grade connectors, and conduit paths that let cabling be replaced without trenching the deck again.
