As a Manhattan Beach home automation company, we design and integrate the technology inside some of Los Angeles’ most considered residences, then stay on to care for it.

  • CEDIA certified
  • HTA Certified Luxury

Technology, made invisible.

The best smart homes ask for no attention. They feel calm and obvious to use, and part of the house rather than added to it.

So we plan the technology with the architecture: keypads where a hand expects them, speakers and cameras out of sight, equipment in one ventilated room, and one system behind it all, built to be just as easy to live with in ten years as on the first day.

Joshua Trevithick, Founder and CEO of PROJECT: automate

Joshua Trevithick

Joshua founded PROJECT: automate in Manhattan Beach on a simple belief: the technology in a home should make each day easier, then stay out of the way.

With nearly three decades in the AV and home automation industry, he still leads each project personally, from the first conversation with the homeowner and their architect to the care that follows handover.

From vision to effortless living.

Four considered steps and one team, from the first conversation to the day you move in, and beyond.

  1. A white house model in a design studio, the team behind it

    Understand

    We begin with how you live: the rooms you gather in, the moments that matter, and what should simply disappear.

  2. White architectural model of a residence on a design desk

    Design

    Every system is planned around the architecture and interiors, in step with your architect and designer, down to each keypad and sightline.

  3. Technician installing landscape lighting in a manicured garden

    Integrate

    Installed, connected and programmed with precision, and with minimal visual impact.

  4. A suburban estate at night with uplit trees along lawn

    Deliver

    We commission every scene, walk you through the home and hand over complete documentation. Our concierge team then stays on to care for it.
