Custom installer Criteria, based here, is designing and installing A/V solutions in Nicky-O, Nicky Hilton's new South Beach, Fla., condo/hotel that is scheduled to open in May. The company says it will work with 14 celebrity designers, including Thomas Schoos, to design each suite, the lobby, lounges and courtyards.

"We have some pretty outrageous solutions with HP plasmas hidden in the ceiling, behind artwork and behind two-way mirrors," said Criteria's president, David Tovissi. "We also plan to integrate the celebrity suites' lighting design into the A/V system."
