Outdoor Home Entertainment in Cashiers, NC
Backyard Living Designed Around Your Mountain Home
Outdoor home entertainment in Cashiers, NC begins with understanding how the property is actually enjoyed. Covered porches, stone terraces, patio kitchens, fireplaces, and expansive mountain views each present different considerations for sound, visibility, lighting, connectivity, and control.
For more than 9 years, Integrated ArchiTech has designed and installed residential technology throughout Cashiers, Highlands, Lake Toxaway, Sapphire, and the surrounding mountain communities. Working with trusted manufacturers including Coastal Source, SunBriteTV, Lutron, Sonance, Samsung, Crestron, and Savant, our team selects technology according to the environment, architecture, and way each space will be used.
The result isn't the technology you add, it's an environment where music feels naturally distributed, displays remain visible in changing light, pathways and architecture are thoughtfully illuminated, and everything is simple to control without distracting from the reason you escaped to the mountains in the first place.

The Difference Thoughtful Outdoor Design Makes
The best technology doesn't compete with the mountains around you. It quietly makes porches, terraces, decks, and gathering spaces more comfortable and enjoyable from morning coffee through evenings by the fire.
Music Without the Clutter
Landscape speakers distribute music evenly across porches and gathering spaces, creating rich sound without visible equipment competing with the landscape.
A Better View
Weather-resistant displays are positioned for comfortable viewing, bringing sports and movies outside without sacrificing architecture or mountain views.
Comfort as the Day Changes
Motorized screens help manage sun, glare, insects, and unwanted pests, making porches more comfortable while preserving the fresh air and mountain views.
Everything Works Together
Audio, video, lighting, WiFi, shades, and control work together as one intuitive system, making each space simple for family and guests to enjoy.
Outdoor Home Entertainment Solutions
Every space presents different opportunities, covered porches, open terraces, firepits, and other areas each require technology selected for the environment, architecture, and way you enjoy your entire property.
Outdoor Audio
Great sound isn't created by placing a pair of speakers near the house and turning them up. A thoughtfully designed system uses multiple speakers positioned throughout the listening area to create a uniform sound field, allowing music to remain clear and balanced at comfortable volume levels.
Separate zones allow you to enjoy different music or different volume levels around dining areas, firepits, pools, and other gathering spaces.
Highlights
✓ Uniform sound throughout the property
✓ Landscape & architectural speakers
✓ Discreet landscape subwoofers
✓ Independent listening zones
✓ Coastal Source & Sonance systems
Outdoor TVs
A screen designed for a living room isn't designed for the conditions outside. Brightness, direct sunlight, glare, moisture, temperature changes, and placement all influence which weather-resistant TV belongs in the space.
Integrated ArchiTech considers whether the location is shaded, partially exposed, or receives direct sun before recommending equipment from Samsung, SunBriteTV, and other display manufacturers.
Highlights
✓ Full-sun, partial-sun & shaded locations
✓ Weather-resistant displays
✓ Fireplace, stone & architectural mounting
✓ Exterior soundbars & enhanced audio
✓ Samsung Terrace & SunBriteTV
Landscape & Architectural Lighting
When the sun goes down, thoughtful illumination can completely change how a mountain property feels. Rather than simply making exterior spaces brighter, layered lighting can reveal stonework, trees, pathways, steps, gardens, and architectural details while preserving the natural character of the surroundings.
We consider safety, atmosphere, sightlines, and how different areas are used throughout the evening. Dimming and personalized scenes can then transition the property naturally from dinner and entertaining to a quieter evening around the fireplace.
Highlights
✓ Architectural & landscape illumination
✓ Pathway, stair & gathering-area lighting
✓ Trees, stonework & landscape accents
✓ Personalized evening scenes
✓ Lutron lighting control
Motorized Exterior Screens & Shades
Covered porches allow you to enjoy the mountains without being completely exposed to the elements, but afternoon sun, glare, insects, and unwanted pests can quickly make an otherwise beautiful space uncomfortable.
Motorized screens and exterior shades can lower when conditions change and disappear when they're no longer needed, helping preserve views while making porches and terraces more comfortable. They can also be incorporated into programmed scenes for simple everyday operation.
Highlights
✓ Insect & pest protection
✓ Sun and glare management
✓ Greater privacy when desired
✓ Motorized retractable operation
✓ Integrated scenes & control
Outdoor WiFi & Connectivity
Streaming a game, controlling music, adjusting lighting, viewing security cameras, or simply using your phone on the terrace all depend on reliable connectivity beyond the walls of the residence.
Weather proof access points and properly designed network infrastructure can extend dependable coverage across porches, patios, firepits, pool areas, guest houses, and other exterior spaces. The goal isn't simply stronger WiFi, it is giving every connected system the infrastructure it needs to perform reliably.
Highlights
✓ Porch, patio & property-wide coverage
✓ Weather-rated wireless access points
✓ Streaming & entertainment support
✓ Lighting, cameras & control connectivity
✓ Guest house & detached-building coverage
Outdoor Home Theater
For homeowners who love movies, sports, or entertaining, individual technologies can be brought together to create a complete backyard home theater or game-day experience without turning a beautiful mountain retreat into a commercial sports bar.
Large-format displays, multiple screens, distributed audio, streaming sources, lighting, networking, and simple control can all be designed around the space. One command can prepare the porch for Saturday football, an evening movie, or dinner with friends while the technology remains secondary to the architecture and view.
Highlights
✓ Large-format viewing
✓ Multi-screen sports configurations
✓ Distributed audio & enhanced sound
✓ Movies, streaming & multiple sources
✓ Lighting, WiFi & integrated control
Outdoor Technology Built for the Environment
Outdoor systems face conditions that indoor technology never does. Sun, moisture, temperature changes, insects, and year-round exposure all influence what will perform reliably. Integrated ArchiTech works with manufacturers whose products are designed specifically for these environments, selecting each solution around the property and how it will be used.
Coastal Source engineers audio and lighting for demanding environments, delivering balanced sound plus refined illumination across landscapes, terraces, gardens, and gathering spaces.
Sonos makes listening simple, bringing familiar music control to porches, patios, kitchens, and gathering spaces when paired with properly selected landscape speakers and qulaity amplification.
SunBriteTV makes weather-resistant displays for shaded and brighter exterior spaces, delivering dependable picture performance where conventional indoor televisions aren't designed to perform.
