No app overload
Lighting, climate, access, cameras, pools, sensors, and alerts in one calm control layer.
Philosophy
The intelligent home should not feel automated. It should feel quietly considered.
Studio Sciré designs local-first home intelligence for finished residences — unifying lighting, climate, gates, pools, cameras, sensors, and critical alerts into one calm interface.
The goal is a home that feels intuitive, dependable, and easy to live in: working in the background, speaking up only when something matters.
Sciré draws from scīre, “to know.” For us, a knowing home is not theatrical. It is a home with awareness, restraint, and order.
Approach
Designed for homes that are already built, restored, or lived in.
We work through existing switches, networks, control points, and equipment wherever possible — adding intelligence without turning the home back into a construction site.
No major remodel
A retrofit-first method for finished homes, coordinated with electricians and specialty subcontractors when hardware is needed.
No proprietary lock-in
Open-platform, local-first integrations wherever possible, reducing dependence on closed apps and dealer-only ecosystems.
One Home
Every part of the home, working together.

Designed around the questions you actually ask: Is the house secure? Is anything open? Is the pool ready? Is anything wrong?
Local-first control
Wherever possible, core controls are kept local — creating a faster, quieter, more resilient home.
Simple enough for everyone
The interface should not require a technical person to operate it. It should be obvious, restrained, and useful.
Peace of Mind
A home that looks after itself — and tells you before small things become expensive.
“A leak was detected under the kitchen sink.”
“The sewer pump high-water alarm has triggered.”
“Your freezer has been warming for the last 15 minutes.”
“The gate failed to close.”
Studio
Born from a finished home, not a blank slate.
Founded by Steph Sciré after restoring and integrating a mid-century California home, Studio Sciré brings together design sensibility, construction fluency, and open-platform home intelligence. The work is less about adding gadgets than giving the home a coherent way to behave.
Process
From how you live to how the home responds.
We do not replace your electrician, AV installer, pool contractor, or security vendor. We make their work function as one coherent home.
01
Discover
We begin with routines, concerns, travel, guests, pets, and the moments where the house should simply help.
02
Design
We define the control strategy, dashboard logic, alert logic, and future expansion plan.
03
Coordinate
Electricians, low-voltage installers, and specialty subcontractors handle Shellys, relays, wiring, sensors, and other physical installation.
04
Commission
Systems, automations, dashboards, alerts, access, and backups are configured and tested as one environment.
05
Refine
After the household has lived with it, we tune the system around real use.
What we do
Studio Sciré designs, coordinates, configures, commissions, documents, and refines the intelligence layer of the home.
What our subs do
Licensed electricians, low-voltage installers, and specialty vendors handle physical installation, wiring, devices, relays, panels, and code-compliant work.

The Home Intelligence Audit.
A considered first step before anything changes.
A written roadmap
Understand your home, before adding more to it.
We review what is already there, what is reliable, what is fragmented, what can be unified, and what should be monitored — then deliver a clear Home Intelligence Roadmap.
