Seamless Infrastructure, Modern Design: The Smart Living Antoine and PPX Partnership
The Challenge: Complexity at Scale
Multi-family projects require a level of precision that goes far beyond standard residential construction. The challenge was twofold:
- Reliability: Constructing a high-capacity plumbing infrastructure capable of serving dozens of units simultaneously without pressure drops or hot water delays.
- Design: Curating and installing fixtures that align with the “Smart Living” modern aesthetic while ensuring water efficiency.
PPX stepped in not just as a subcontractor, but as a strategic partner.
Phase 1: The Backbone (Rough-In & Infrastructure)
Before the first tile was laid, PPX was on-site laying the foundation of the building’s health. Their team executed a flawless rough-in process, focusing on durability and ease of future maintenance.
- Precision Engineering: PPX utilized advanced CAD modeling to map out complex piping routes, ensuring zero conflict with electrical and HVAC systems.
- Commercial-Grade Materials: Utilization of high-durability PEX and copper piping systems designed to withstand high usage loads typical in multifamily environments.
- Acoustic Comfort: Implementation of cast-iron waste lines and sound-dampening insulation to ensure silent plumbing operation between floors—a key requirement for luxury living.
“The quality of a building is defined by what you don’t see. PPX gave us peace of mind that our infrastructure is bulletproof.”

Phase 2: The Finish (Fixtures & Smart Integration)
As the walls were finished, the focus shifted to the resident experience. Smart Living Antoine and PPX collaborated to select fixtures that merged water conservation with high-end design.
The “Smart” Difference
This partnership wasn’t just about pipes; it was about performance.
Eco-Friendly Flow
Installation of WaterSense-certified faucets and showerheads that reduce consumption without sacrificing water pressure.
Touchless & Smart Tech
Integration of kitchen faucets with motion sensors and smart leak-detection valves that protect the entire building from potential water damage.
Designer Aesthetics
PPX expert trim teams installed matte black and brushed nickel fixtures with white-glove precision, serving as the "jewelry" of the bathrooms and kitchens.
Why This Partnership Matters
For the residents of a Smart Living Antoine community, this partnership ensures that the home they live in works efficiently as well as looks beautiful.
By combining Smart Living Antoine’s forward-thinking design philosophy with PPX’s technical mastery, we have created a living environment where hot water is instant, pressure is constant, and every fixture feels like a touch of luxury.
