Preserving the look HomeSmart wants.
The reference image HomeSmart shared communicates a clear creative direction — scale, clean sightlines, and a polished elevated scenic and video presentation. Our recommendation is built around protecting that intent.
HomeSmart Design Inspiration / Visual Direction — provided by client; used as creative reference, not as an engineered production drawing.
What it communicates
Scale, symmetry, and an elevated horizon.
Side IMAG and content panels read as part of a unified scenic frame rather than freestanding fixtures. The floor stays clean and uncluttered, allowing the room — and the people on stage — to feel premium.
Centric's production recommendation is built around preserving that intent. The goal is not simply to place equipment in a room. It is to protect the look HomeSmart has already identified as the desired direction for the event.

Design feasibility: flying vs. ground stacking.
Fly the primary scenic & video elements
Preserves the elevated horizon, keeps the floor clean, and delivers the polished, premium look from the reference image.
- Clean sightlines from every seat
- No visible support structure on the floor
- Scenic frame reads as a unified composition
- Safe, professional, and design-equivalent to intent
Ground-supported approach
A useful cost-saving strategy in the right design. For this specific concept, it would materially change the look, sightlines, and overall impact of the room.
- Visible support structure on the floor
- Lower scenic horizon — less premium feel
- Reduces design symmetry and cleanliness
- Not a design-equivalent substitute here
"Ground stacking can reduce cost in the right design, but it is not always a design-equivalent substitute. For the proposed HomeSmart stage concept, a ground-supported approach would materially change the look, sightlines, and overall impact of the room. To deliver the intended design safely and professionally, the primary scenic and video elements should be flown.
If budget reduction is required, we recommend intentional value engineering — adjusting screen configuration, simplifying scenic elements, or revising optional enhancements — rather than forcing a ground-supported version of a design that was conceived to be flown.
