Smart Home Nation

Tanya explores a true "hidden gem" because everything you'd normally see in a house is either completely out of sight or floating...including the staircase! Next, Tanya heads to her hometown of Niagara Falls to meet a man who converted an old church into the exquisitely designed modern smart home of his dreams. With a tattoo parlor, interior balcony, sliding doors to the backyard and a corporate-style boardroom, this home is truly one-of-a-kind.

Tanya visits a smart home in the clouds, a massive penthouse condo that was a logistical nightmare to build on one of Toronto's busiest intersections. Every piece of smart tech was brought in by crane, closing the street below to traffic. Next, a brand-new luxury home hits the market with style to burn. The smart features shine most on the outside, with a fully automated pool that is cleaned and temperature monitored by an AI run by a smartphone app. And this garage has stacked parking with room to put two SUVs on top of each other in one high-tech lift.

California's first carbon-zero home is a wonder inside and out. From ethically sourced wood interiors to recycled concrete, from an induction kitchen to an electrically heated pool, this home was built to emit no carbon. Next, Tanya discovers a home with a prototype for a massive "floating door" that rides on earth magnets so that it opens and closes with momentum.

Tanya finds the master bedroom design of her dreams in this modernist smart home nestled in a forest near the center of Toronto. Tanya discovers how lighting, security, and entertainment can be entirely integrated into an existing design. Next, Tanya tours a gorgeous mansion that has been a true sanctuary for the family who moved in just as the world was shutting down because of the pandemic.
