Cybersecurity for the Connected Life – Home & Office
In today’s connected environments, smart lighting and integrated AV systems are just the beginning. With every new device comes another potential entry point—making network security not just optional, but essential.
Plug & Protect is the ethos behind guardDog Solutions’ approach to residential cybersecurity. With their Fido device, a simple plug-in installation can shield the entire home or office network from malicious digital threats. No complicated setup, no IT team required—just active protection from the moment it powers on.
When Glenn Merlin Johnson served as business development manager for guardDog, he brought this forward-thinking solution into the spotlight at CEDIA Expo’s Launchpad—where emerging technologies meet the industry’s most innovative minds. In that role, Glenn helped highlight how tools like Fido could give integrators and homeowners alike a practical layer of security for everything happening beyond the physical walls of the space.
This type of foresight is part of what sets Adaptive Design Group apart. Understanding the full picture—from architectural lighting to acoustic design to now cybersecurity—means bringing clients real peace of mind, digitally and physically.
Because if you’re living with tech, you need to protect.

It is all about Visualization, Specification and Execution.
Few architectural features capture the imagination like a glass elevator. In this project, the elevator serves not only as a functional element connecting floors but as a visual centerpiece. A true LIGHT TRANSPORTER. Encased in glass, it frames breathtaking views of the snowy mountain landscape, creating a sense of openness and connection with the outdoors. As it moves, the surrounding light shifts, highlighting both the mechanical precision and the artistry of the surrounding architecture.
Wrapping gracefully around the elevator, the staircase is a masterclass in layered lighting. Artistic decorative lighting draws the eye to the sculptural qualities of the handrails, balusters, and treads, while practical lighting ensures safety and comfort. Subtle accent and recessed fixtures highlight the curves and angles, reinforcing the rhythm of movement through the space. Each element is carefully specified to balance aesthetic impact with functional necessity, a hallmark of expert architectural lighting design.
Adaptive Design Group’s approach to this space demonstrates how integrated design thinking elevates even the most technical elements. Visualization allows the team to anticipate how light interacts with materials, glass, and snow-reflective surfaces. Specifications ensure the correct products, placement, and dimming controls, while meticulous execution guarantees that the final result is flawless. The combination of artistry and technology transforms a simple vertical transport into a centerpiece of beauty, interaction, and light.

It’s All in the Details
At Adaptive Design Group, the difference between good lighting and extraordinary lighting is in the details. Our ADAPTIVE layers of light are meticulously planned, coordinated, and integrated to work seamlessly with the architecture, interior finishes, and furniture of every space. Each layer—from architectural and ambient to decorative, task, and art lighting—is carefully designed to enhance function and beauty without ever drawing attention to itself.
Integrated controls are the backbone of our approach, allowing homeowners and occupants to effortlessly manage each layer for mood, comfort, and utility. Whether adjusting natural daylight balance, dimming a decorative chandelier, or highlighting a piece of artwork, every control point is intentionally designed to empower the user while preserving the integrity of the space.
The “magic” happens when these elements come together: hidden fixtures that illuminate without glare, subtle highlights that emphasize texture and form, and precise coordination that transforms rooms and outdoor spaces alike. It’s this level of attention to detail that ensures Adaptive Design Group projects feel both luxurious and effortless, enhancing daily living and creating an immersive experience for guests.
Contact us to explore how our ADAPTIVE layers of light and integrated control systems can elevate your next project—because in luxury lighting design, it’s truly all in the details.
