Coastal Source has introduced Design Studio, a new platform that enables dealers to create customized outdoor audio and lighting plans with greater clarity, speed, and confidence.
As outdoor living spaces continue to evolve into fully integrated extensions of the home, dealers are increasingly expected to communicate complex lighting and audio concepts earlier and more visually throughout the sales process. Design Studio streamlines that experience by offering a single, intuitive platform that helps dealers present ideas more effectively and accelerate project approvals.
Built around decades of real-world outdoor project experience, Design Studio reflects the same practical design philosophy that has shaped Coastal Source outdoor audio and lighting solutions from the beginning. The redesigned workflow enables dealers to work more interactively onsite with homeowners, helping transform ideas into clear, compelling proposals while accelerating project decision-making. In many cases, dealers will be able to develop and review project concepts collaboratively with homeowners in real time during live consultations.
Design Studio combines intelligent planning tools, conceptual design services, real-time consultations, and immersive 3D visualizations into an interactive platform that helps dealers communicate concepts more clearly and efficiently. Designed to reduce revisions and simplify project planning, the platform enables dealers to create comprehensive presentations featuring system layouts, fixture selections, estimated pricing, and installation details — making it easier for homeowners to understand and approve projects.
Design Studio includes a range of free self-service tools and premium collaborative resources, including a user-friendly Design Studio Express software for lighting and audio, detailed 2D layouts, bill-of-materials documentation, wiring schematics, and advanced 3D project visualizations. The platform supports dealers throughout the project lifecycle, whether they prefer a self-guided approach or a more comprehensive collaborative design experience.
To support adoption and encourage hands-on experience within the new workflow, active Coastal Source dealers will receive one complimentary premium Design Studio project package at launch, complete with 3D visualizations, engineering support, and detailed technical documentation.
