The Lewis Home

The Richmar Drive residence of Angel and Jared Lewis is just what you might expect from the founder of Audio Video Excellence (AVX) based in Alabama and Florida.

Nine TVs, the largest being 98 inches, are among a plethora of custom electronics with which the house is outfitted. The heat and air conditioning, lighting, shades, stereo, TVs, garage and security cameras are all controlled digitally.

Contemporary doesn’t end with the gadgets; it carries on to fixtures and finishes. With clean lines, a neutral palate and an open style, the home’s décor has a Scandinavian influence. It features a hidden powder room door, a double-wide fireplace and several custom-built pieces of furniture, including a steel table, lamps and a cabinet that houses a retractable TV.

This modern residence was once a ranch owned by Jared Lewis’ grandfather. Three Lewis generations have lived in the house, which has been through two major renovations.

Architect Paul Bates brought the Lewises’ vision to reality in the most recent transformation.

Jared has an incredible eye for details, and ingenuity was required to execute his vision. The finished product has unbelievable curb appeal, allure and a subtle ‘wow factor.’
