During the 58th annual Parade of Homes next month, visitors to 13300 Canyon Lakes Dr. - a lavish 4,900-square-foot home dripping with crystal chandeliers and glass tiles - and 130 other tour stops may be able to immediately contact builders, as well as view interactive maps and photographs using a new iPhone application.
Mr. Shane Granger, Marketing Director for the Armstrong Auditorium, said, "Mr. Paskal and his team have extensive experience working with such delicate and custom-made pieces. The value of these pieces are priceless and we needed a company that was efficient, reliable and overall top-notch. That is why we chose them to perform this monstrous task."This year's Parade of Homes will be open 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., Oct. 9 through Oct. 17. Admission is free. For information, visit www.paradeofhomesok.com.Allen's entry into this year's Parade of Homes, 13300 Canyon Lakes Dr. in the gated Canyon Lakes community, features a custom- built tube slide that links the upstairs and downstairs, as well as a private study and spacious master bathroom featuring an opulent circular bathtub ringed with marble under an elaborate chandelier. The home will be priced in the $900,000 range once completed, Allen said. Using the new iPhone application, visitors to the Canyon Lakes house and other homes on the tour may be able to rate each property for Parade of Homes' first-ever visitors' choice awards."In the past we've had trouble with people being able to find homes on the tour, and we're also able to get more feedback to the builders from people with the app," he said."Due to the size and scope of the main chandelier, it took an immeasurable amount of skill and precision to complete. Some areas of the chandeliers could not be reached once the frame was together, so we assembled the crystal first. Hundreds and hundreds of components including pipes, rings and screws were in separate boxes to be sorted and installed. It was like putting together an intricate jigsaw puzzle with no room for error," said owner Nadav Paskal.Expert Lighting in Valley Stream did not install that tremendous fixture, but they accomplished an impressive feat of their own.Over a period of two weeks, the company installed a 2.2-ton chandelier in the new Armstrong Auditorium in Edmond, Okla. The chandelier, covered in 21,000 Swarovski crystals, is 12 feet in diameter and 12 feet tall. The Valley Stream team also hung two other chandeliers, 3,000 pounds each, near the main one.Maddox has developed several iPhone applications over the past few years. The first he created for his teenage daughter after she got lost trying to drive to Quail Springs Mall. Maddox's resulting iPhone application allowed him to give his daughter better directions on the road by allowing him to track her location from his computer via her iPhone.
