Welcome to five separate units of luxury living.
The residences at Greenleaf are the new standard for living the integrated lifestyle. While multiple systems control everything from lighting and powered windows, to custom wireless shades, the life of a Greenleaf resident iseasily controlled through their touchscreen interface.
A Single Interface – Unlimited Control
Greenleaf units are all controlled through an AMX system using an intuitive iPad user interface. With such a powerful system, residents are able to control their lighting, as well as powered shades and motorized windows through the simple touch of a button.
Intelligence in Technology
Thanks to automated sensors, residents are always in the know about their home and safety – whether at home or away. The control system monitors the weather and natural lighting to close powered windows if they need to be shut for incoming rain, and raise or lower shades automatically.
Lights can be set to turn on as any resident gets home from work late at night, welcoming them home after a long day away. While they are getting ready to head out for a night on the town, residents can listen to their favorite music throughout the home and call the elevator when they’re ready all from one spot.
Call stations allow you to always know who is at the front door, so having multiple guests over for dinner is easier (with less trips up and down the stairs). Remote, secure access allows the home owner to control their property from anywhere in the world and make sure everything is safe and sound.
Save Energy Without Lifting a Finger
Motorized shades can be raised and lowered automatically by the system according to weather and season for efficient light harvesting. Dimmers throughout the residences are set to a default turn-on of 80% for more energy savings. Residents can monitor their heating and cooling systems, as well as energy use, all from their touch pads at home or away.
Control that Disappears
At every Greenleaf residence your eyes focus on the luxurious design, not the state-of-theart technology that seamlessly controls it all. Spire collaborated to create custom solutions focused around an integrated lifestyle while maintaining the high-end design expected at the Greenleaf Trust building.

Don Z Renovation — California Modern Hillside Retreat
Perched on a hillside lot with sweeping views of the downtown Los Angeles skyline, this full exterior renovation transforms a traditional two-story home into a clean, contemporary California Modern retreat. The redesign features a durable standing-seam tin roof, crisp white stucco walls, and sleek black vinyl window trim that frames the home's expansive glass sliders and picture windows — bringing in natural light while creating striking contrast against the light exterior palette.
A custom wood pergola anchors the entry sequence, leading guests through a permeable paver walkway to the front door, while the rear of the home opens onto an indoor-outdoor living space with oversized glass doors, a covered patio, and a sparkling pool positioned to take full advantage of the downtown LA views beyond. Landscaping was kept intentionally minimal and drought-conscious, letting the architecture and the skyline views take center stage.
Beyond the exterior refresh, the home was fully upgraded into a smart home, integrating automated lighting, climate control, security, and entertainment systems that can be managed remotely — pairing timeless California Modern design with the convenience and efficiency of modern technology.
Highlights:
Standing-seam tin roof
Black vinyl window trim
Hillside lot with downtown LA skyline views
Minimal, drought-tolerant landscaping
Custom wood pergola and paver entry
Indoor-outdoor living with pool
Full smart home integration (lighting, climate, security, entertainment)

Project Title: Modern Retreat - Basement Transformation
Location: Hillsborough, NH
Project Overview:
Our recent basement transformation in Hillsborough showcases our expertise in creating multifunctional spaces that cater to the modern family’s needs. This extensive renovation turned an underused basement into a vibrant living area, complete with a home theater, a wet bar, and a fully equipped workout room. We focused on maximizing the space’s potential, implementing moisture-resistant materials and modern insulation techniques to ensure comfort and durability. Strategic lighting and contemporary decor choices brightened the previously dark space, making it an inviting area for entertainment and relaxation.
Highlights:
Installation of soundproofing and eco-friendly insulation for enhanced privacy and energy efficiency.
Custom-designed wet bar and entertainment center as central features.
Sleek, durable flooring choices tailored to high-traffic use and aesthetic appeal.
Smart home technology integration for lights, sound, and security.
This project not only significantly increased the usable living space of the home but also enhanced its overall value, proving that basements can be as luxurious and functional as any other part of a residence.

How do you transform your front entry?
This door and two sidelite installation replaced a smooth steel entry door and two sidelites with a textured woodgrain steel entry door in a mahogany stain finish. The before and after photos are quite striking!
Some key details...
✅ The new jamb is clad in brown to match the woodgrain stain
✅ The old threshold was a mill finish which was replaced with a bronze threshold to match the woodgrain
✅ The lockset is a wireless, smart deadbolt with code access and app connectivity! It has built-in alarm technology, highest industry ratings for residential security, durability and finish, and can schedule access codes for guests so they only enter when you want!
✅ The aged bronze lock finish matches the threshold and compliments both the woodgrain finish and decorative glass
Someone's curb appeal just went through the roof!

Designing a luxury home requires careful consideration of various factors, such as the client's preferences, the location of the property, the available space, and the budget
Layout and Space Planning: A luxury home should have a functional and efficient layout that maximizes the use of available space. The layout should also take into consideration the flow of movement within the house and provide a seamless transition between different areas.
High-Quality Materials: The use of high-quality materials is essential in creating a luxurious home. Materials such as marble, granite, and hardwood floors, are commonly used in luxury homes.
Lighting and Ambiance: Lighting plays a crucial role in creating the ambiance of a luxury home. Adequate natural lighting, as well as carefully placed artificial lighting fixtures, can create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Smart Home Technology: Incorporating smart home technology into a luxury home can add convenience and luxury to the homeowner's lifestyle. Smart home systems can control everything from lighting, temperature, and security to entertainment systems.
Outdoor Living Spaces: A luxury home should have well-designed outdoor living spaces, such as a pool, outdoor kitchen, and well-manicured gardens. These spaces provide opportunities for relaxation and entertaining guests.
Custom Details and Finishes: Custom details and finishes can add uniqueness and luxury to a home. Custom cabinetry, unique wall finishes, and one-of-a-kind furniture pieces can elevate the overall design of a luxury home.
Overall, designing a luxury home requires attention to detail and a deep understanding of the client's needs and desires. Working with an experienced designer or architect can help ensure that the final product is a true reflection of luxury and elegance.

This media room features a ceiling mounted video projector and a acoustically transparent projection screen which allows the front three speakers to be placed behind the screen. In-wall and in-ceiling speakers fill the room with sound. Acoustic paneling allows the listener to hear more of the sound directly from the speakers, rather than the residual sound that could bounce off several walls before it arrives to the listener and prevents sound from traveling to other rooms. Cozy draperies, pillows and a sectional couch allow the user to relax in comfort. Lutron lighting allows the user to dim the lights to the perfect viewing level with the starlight ceiling adding that extra bit of awe. The whole entertainment system is controlled via a universal remote control.

Northern Michigan is the ultimate getaway destination with serene views and abundance of outdoor recreation. This remote Up North house offers nothing short of that. With the nearest major town almost 45 minutes away, it was essential this vacation home offered all the amenities for entertainment and relaxation. Spire worked with the client to create the perfect lake house retreat with comfort and convenience during any season or weather.
The living room with an attached game room is a versatile space that offers endless entertainment. A 65” TV was installed over the fireplace in the custom stone wall. The adjustable mount allows the TV to lower for comfortable viewing from either the couch or pool table. A pair of Meridian Audio DSP7200 custom color matched speakers equipped with a Meridian Audio 218 digital controller were strategically installed on each side of the fireplace. The floor-standing speakers compliment the natural stone while providing astonishingly life-like sound, perfect for streaming live concerts.
The powerful audio extends to the upper level of the home. Spire installed B&W 700 series bookshelf speakers in the executive office and a Triad custom speaker bar in the master bedroom. These speakers are ideal for smaller rooms, while elevating the TV experience.
The large living room windows offer beautiful lake views and ample lighting. Lutron Palladiom shades were installed to easily control the natural light in the living room, master bedroom and bathroom. They are custom designed and fully automated to let in the morning sun or achieve partial shading or complete privacy. Whether set on a schedule or controlled from an iPad, the shades operate quietly and seamlessly.
The technology was designed to be enjoyed just as much indoors as outdoors. With the whole home audio system, high-quality sound can flow throughout the indoor rooms as well as the outdoor patio. While the location may be remote, Spire ensured the WiFi and network connection is strong both throughout the yard and inside the home. A Lutron HomeWorks QS system integrates the control of all the interior and exterior lighting including motion sensing for the exterior pathway.
Since this is not a permanent residence, a control and security system was very important. A personalized Savant system was integrated for full home control of lighting, climate, entertainment and security from anywhere with a smart device . This includes the ability to control the multiple landscape light zones with timed scenes. The Doorbird cameras and chimes with the integration of camera feeds into the Savant Control provides remote communication with visitors at any of the exterior doors. Remote access also allows rebooting of all essential systems from any location.
