Located in Downtown Madison, the "Shack" is the smartest old home in the city. After being neglected for the past 30 yrs, The property was purchased by Coutre' & Associates( now ITcontrols) in the summer of 1999, for the purpose of testing home technologies. Built in the 1880's as servants quarters, this 1000 sqft ranch underwent a major facelift to go from Shack to Technological Shrine.

The entire structure and all the physical systems were updated. An advanced electronic control system was installed to control the security, lighting, heating, and other functions of the home.

Come take a peek at the technology that went into this transformation from Shack to Shrine!
