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 demonstrations 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.
