i.
Calm by default.
No badges, no notifications, no flashing colour. The panel rests dark, lights only what is touched, and answers in one tap. Tahoe is louder when needed and silent when not — never both at once.
Tahoe — on-panel interface
A panel that belongs in the residence — and at sea.
Tahoe is our touch interface for the connected home. Calm, soft, glass-warm. Designed to be at home in a hallway worth more than the rest of the rack combined — and, increasingly, on the bridge of a superyacht where the expectations are no different.

The actual surface — yacht deployment
Captured on a 10.1" in-wall panel
The same panel, on land and at sea.
Tahoe was designed for residences first, but a superyacht is — for our purposes — the same problem in a hull. The same systems, the same level of expectation, the same need for a calm interface anyone aboard can use without instruction. Our lead programmer has shipped Tahoe on both, and we are speaking with several yards.
i. The residence
Composed for the house.
Lighting scenes, climate dials, audio routing and security on a single in-wall panel per room. Above, the Rooms view at a residence in service — a floor-by-floor overview composed for the way the family actually moves through the building.
ii. The yacht
Composed for the vessel.
The same vocabulary, organised by deck. Main Deck, Bridge, Owner's Deck — Aft Deck, Foredeck, Owner's Suite — the surface every guest, principal, and crew member touches. Our lead programmer has shipped Tahoe on superyacht builds before. Our practice focus is ultra-luxury homes; if a vessel is on the brief, ask.
Tahoe at sea — a walk-through.
Three views from a superyacht specification of Tahoe. The interface presumes nothing about the principal, the captain or the chief stewardess — every aboard hand sees the same calm surface, in the same vocabulary, on every deck.
A 10.1″ in-wall panel, photographed in studio. The same hardware ships in both residence and yacht specifications — the only thing that changes is the room library and the deck names.
Designed for the hallway, not the data sheet.
Tahoe is the only piece of consumer-visible technology Intuitiv designs. It is the interface a principal touches first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and asks nothing of in between. Three principles guide every panel we ship.
ii.
Composed by hand.
Every scene, every tile placement, every climate dial position is composed for the specific room it lives in. Tahoe is not a template the principal fills in — it is a surface drawn for the residence and refined through commissioning.
iii.
One vocabulary across surfaces.
The same tile lives on the in-wall panel, on the household iPhones, on the iPads in the kitchen, and on the voice surface in the master suite. One scene library, one interaction language, one place a senior engineer can edit a behaviour.
A surface composed for the residence.
The demo above is the actual surface installed in the principal's office at our flagship Vancouver Island residence. Lights, climate, shades, security, audio, video — the six systems used most often, gathered in one room-specific tile composition.
Touch any tile to see how it behaves. The full Tahoe deployment at Qualia includes 14 unique room layouts, six iPad surfaces, three iPhone scene packs, and a voice grammar shared across them all.
See Qualia in projects →What the panel commands.
A typical Tahoe surface unifies six to twelve systems in a single composed view per room. Below, the systems most frequently lifted onto the panel — and the custom behaviours we tend to write for each.
i.
Lighting scenes.
Composed per-room, per-time-of-day. A "Morning" scene at Qualia raises the kitchen pendants to 38%, the under-cabinet to 18%, and the dining wash to 0 — held until the principal walks past the master suite door, which fades it. Never typed in by the family.
ii.
Climate dials.
A single set-point per zone with the cooling and heating bands shown as one bar. Humidity is a second invisible target the panel quietly negotiates with the air handler. The dial reads in plain numbers; the algorithm beneath it does not.
iii.
Shades & glazing.
Position by percentage, with named presets for blackout, sheer and astronomical. The east-facing master at Qualia closes its sheers automatically at solar noon and reopens at golden hour — a behaviour written once, in software, never touched by the principal.
iv.
Audio & video routing.
Source, destination, volume — and nothing else on the front of the tile. Behind it, the routing matrix; in front of it, a single name like "Studio · vinyl". Twelve speaker zones at Qualia are addressed by room, never by amplifier output.
v.
Security & arming.
A single armed/disarmed state visible from any panel in the residence, with reasoned overrides ("Cleaner present", "Boats arriving"). The state of every door, window and gate readable on one screen by the duty engineer at any hour.
vi.
Concierge & continuous support.
A small soft-spoken text input at the bottom of every panel for messaging the household’s assigned engineer. Plain English, plain answers — "Why did the entry lights come on at 3am?" — written by the people who programmed the residence in the first place.
“
It looks like part of the millwork. Nobody in this house has ever asked what brand it is.

A surface composed for your residence.
Tahoe is not licensed off the shelf to private clients. It is composed, room by room, as part of a full Intuitiv engagement — and refined for years afterward by the same hands that wrote it.
