An Even Smarter Home: Yves Béhar And Jason Johnson Unveil Doma

Imagine a world in which you arrive home after work, tired, arms filled with packages, keys deep in your bag. Magically, your front door knows who you are and opens to allow you in, closing and locking behind you. As of today, such a world exists.

2022 Interior Design Hall of Fame inductee Yves Béhar (CEO and founder of Fuseproject and co-founder of August Home) and Jason Johnson (co-founder of August Home) teamed up to introduce the latest offering from their smart home endeavor—Doma, a system intended to revolutionize the way we live in and interact with our homes. (The pair made their foray into smart home design by launching August Home, now the leading door access company, which they later sold to Yale.)

Signifying a shift beyond a typical smart home into home intelligence, the duo unveiled Doma Intelligent™ Doors and Doma Intelligent™ Windows on December 10, 2025, which feature discreet technology and motorized capabilities to easily recognize and open to homeowners. “This is a big industry shift,” says Béhar. “It’s a standard and an integrated system that we believe is going to become the industry go-to.”

Six of the largest door and window manufacturers are part of the launch, including Kolbe Windows & Doors, GlassCraft, MasterGrain, Doors & More, Artema, and Liberty Openings, and by summer the number is expected to reach 12. Doma also is compatible with the Matter standard, allowing it to integrate with many existing devices.

Doma is as sleek as it is smart. Designed with craftsmanship top of mind, Doma embeds technology and robotics directly into home surfaces, creating a streamlined aesthetic. As part of the system, there are two cameras in the door—one for traditional video, the other for facial recognition. (You can also give someone a keypad number or QR code to gain access. More analog types fear not: there is a doorbell.) When the door is closed, the mechanism is invisible. “It’s the first residential door with a built-in motor and it’s literally in the door itself on the hinge side,” says Johnson. On the other side of the door is a second panel with a live video feed and host of other monitors and controls.

Doma also works with windows—and with a full set of Doma windows and doors, you’ll be able to press one button on your phone and know all are closed and locked. The system can also keep an eye on air quality and uses radar sensors to monitor a home’s occupancy and security.

Says Béhar, “DOMA represents a shift from device-centric thinking to environment-centric thinking. So it’s not a product you install, it’s a living system you inhabit.”
