SAVANT SYSTEMS is
bringing a dynamic new
smart home pop-up to the
denizens of New York -
and those willing to make
the trip. Disguised as stylish
art gallery, Savant SOHO
promises visitors a dynamic
and engaging smart home
experience highlighting the
power of Savant's systems.
The gallery celebrated its
grand opening December
15, 2022. Located at 120
Wooster Street in New York
City's SoHo neighborhood,
the bi-level 3,700-squarefoot
smart home space will
be open Monday through
Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
and Sundays 12-6 p.m. but
closed on holiday weekends.
This strikingly colorful
and design-forward space
joins the likes of Savant's Las
Vegas and New York Experience
Centers as Savant continues
to grow awareness
around the benefits of smart
technology. Not only will it
provide in-person demon18

strations to those who visit,
but Savant SOHO will also
offer knowledge sharing and
educational opportunities in
a pressure-free environment.
Visitors will, however,
have the option to purchase
DIY smart home technology
from the company's GE
brand. They will also be able
to meet with an expert to
receive a custom quote for
a professionally installed
Savant smart home solution.
" This is a tremendous opportunity
in a high traffic and
chic shopping destination to
reach consumers who may
be looking for inspiration to
enhance their lifestyle and
find special holiday gifts, "
says Rochelle Hartigan, vice
president of marketing and
communications, GE Lighting,
a Savant company.
Stepping into space at
ground level, Savant SOHO
has a plethora of DIY smart
home products on display.
Here, visitors can explore
how even the simplest
additions can come together
to enhance a living space.
Savant's GE-branded Cync
lighting products will be
incorporated into several
residential vignettes, with
visitors using the Cync app to
control the different scenes.
Hands-on activities such
as creating wall designs using
Cync Full Color Light Strips
and a color-changing selfie
station, will be co-located
near the vignettes. Future
plans include smart workshops,
as well as informational
and décor focused classes.
The company will also
have its smart energy solution
on display. Smart power
solutions, the company
acknowledges, are becoming
increasingly popular for
consumers, forming the
foundation of a smart home.
While at the SOHO site,
Savant technology experts
will be available to discuss
new federal incentives,
designed to increase adoption
of residential renewable
energy and power
management, that make
smart power systems more
affordable, while helping to
enhance energy efficiency
and sustainability.
On the lower level,
Savant experts will show
visitors how entertainment,
networking, security, energy
and lighting can all come
together to create a transformative
smart home.
