The First Recession-Proof Architecture
The Most Innovative New Live/Work/Create Space

Featuring Moving Walls · Built for the World's Most Creative and Innovative Minds
It all started with the idea, "What if walls could move?" That lead to more questions…
Contractors build homes to live in.
We build living spaces to create in.
There is a BIG difference.
When you invent, write, code, produce, imagine, and create, your work does not end at 5pm. What you do is who you are. Your ideas are constantly changing, your living environment should adapt, change, and inspire everything you do.
Amazing technologies and features built into a property that transforms to meet the needs of creative teams. Live-work spaces designed by creatives for creatives.
(4,000 sq ft design coming soon.)
The whole end of the living room wall tilts down to become a patio.
Almost 20′ wide x 10′ tall, this is extreme functionality!
A beautiful see-through plexiglass window when it's up and a see-through patio when it's down.
The building is 8 stories tall and each floor has 12 foot ceilings. Each floor has an elevator and hall that divides 8,000 square feet of living space into two 4,000 square feet sections. Each section can be divided into living spaces of 1 x 4,000 sq ft, 2 x 2,000 sq ft, or 3 x 1300 sq ft, depending on the configuration of the moving walls.
A roof mounted rack system provides power outlets and internet access anywhere. The industrial/modern rack also provides functionality in the studio for hanging lights and gear while also supporting the sound/privacy panels.
Ideas have no schedule. Inspiration can stream through your mind for days. Write, innovate, create, program, invent, dream, imagine and fly. Luminate Lofts provide an environment where you can naturally be who you really are… more creative than humanly possible.
And when your body finally needs to rest, simply fold your desk up and pull the wall down to reveal a comfy, cozy bed. And when you wake, you'll discover that where you are is better than any dream.
Control your environment and get exactly the living or working space you desire.
Our vision for a 360 kitchen is a design that enables the host to focus on their guests while crafting delicious food and enables the guests to enjoy the host and terrific views.
Where most kitchens have the oven/stove against a wall, forcing the host to have their back to their guests, we put the stove/oven and sink in the center of the room, allowing for everyone to gather around and face each other while preparing food.
▼ Ovens, microwave, stove, and sink are all within 180° reach while ▼ facing your guests.
▲ Your guests enjoy you, can easily participate in the cooking activities, and get a great view of the scenery.
A 360 Kitchen is a simple concept that provides great functionality and maximizes your enjoyment of your creative living space.
Brilliant minds need lots of space so we designed a wall organizer that provides more storage, more functionality, and incredible practicality. Our wall organizer includes an Audio/Video/Computer rack system. It hides the sound/privacy panels. It provides great storage for clothes, and the million and one digital toys every creative must have on hand.
The Luminate Lofts wall organizer is 39 feet long x 10 feet tall x 30″ deep. That is 975 cubic feet of organizational space!
Adding to the functionality, we made the outside surface a whiteboard for 390 square feet of creative drawing… because sometimes an idea is so big, you just have to write on the walls.
Once you experience HDR Lighting™ you will never go back. We take LED color adjustable lights embedded in indirect light tubes causing the light to reflect thousands of times before your eye sees it. This results in incredible eye comfort, and far less stress and strain. Further, when working on color sensitive projects, such as painting, graphics, or video editing, HDR Lighting enables far more accurate colors as viewed by the eye.
A fun novelty that is actually very practical. A normal mirror until you walk in front of it, causing it to display the weather, news, stocks, videos, music and other items using Alexa™ voice control.
Central heating and air conditioning doesn't work! One area is too hot, another living space is too cold. Independent temperature control units enable you to turn up the air in the kitchen while entertaining, while letting an afternoon breeze fill your studio. Zone temperature control is far more efficient, comfortable, and economical.
Luminate Lofts targets two distinct and powerful markets.
The World's Most Beautiful Destinations. The remote work revolution has freed the world's most talented people to live where they choose. Luminate Lofts gives them a reason to choose a place and stay — a living space as extraordinary as the work they do.
The World's Most Important Innovation Hubs. A new era of AI infrastructure is underway. Data centers representing billions in investment are being built across America and around the world — in Wyoming, Texas, Ohio, and beyond. These facilities are drawing concentrations of elite AI researchers, engineers, and builders to locations that have never had to attract this caliber of talent before.
These companies face a real challenge: how do you recruit and retain the world's best minds in places they didn't plan to live? Luminate Lofts is the answer. By building adjacent to AI infrastructure, we give companies a powerful tool for talent attraction — and give their people a place they'll genuinely want to call home.
We are positioning at the intersection of the two greatest workforce migrations of our time.
Today, over 32 million Americans work remotely. Within the next five years, one billion people worldwide are expected to work remotely at least part time.
The workforce is moving. The question is not whether people will live and work differently — they already do. The question is where they will choose to go, and what will be waiting for them when they get there.
Companies that want to offer their key personnel the very best space in which to innovate technology, develop AI, write film scripts, compose music, and collaborate on ideas that will shape the future are invited to explore a partnership with Luminate Lofts.
The world's most important work deserves the world's most inspiring place to do it.
