Maison Douche – Smart Home

The Brief

The clients were looking to achieve a smart integrated home with control of lighting, gate entry and multi room audio visual systems. Easy operation was key as part of a refurbishment and extension of a central London property. A large family media / cinema room was also required to include design of the acoustics and lighting in the room.

The Solution

Through consultation with the clients and their design team the project specification included a high quality secure cisco home network, Lutron lighting control system, Sonos multi room audio system, 4k video distribution of central Sky, Kaleidoscope 4k movie servers and Apple TV sources. All control was to be via a Control4 system for easy navigation an operation.

Complete Control

The Control4 system provided in wall touch panels in key locations around the property for global lighting, music control and gate/door entry control in addition to intercom functionality around the house.

Smart Control4 hand held remotes. iPad and smart phone control were utilised to control the TV system in each room but also used to select and browse the Sonos music system.

Cinema Room

The cinema room provides a fantastic custom design solution that provides cozy relaxed seating for the whole family in a lounge styled environment. A large 11 foot wide fixed frame projection screen, 4k JVC projector delivering crystal clear images, a high quality B&W 7.2.2 speaker system and Storm electronics provide incredible audio power and detail.

All speakers and electronics are built invisibly in to the walls and ceiling so as not to disrupt the interior design, featuring an acoustic treatment solution from Artnovian with fabric wrapped walling system.

End Result

Upon completion the clients were delighted with the ease of use and functionality, with the clean aesthetics of the system, powered completely from a single hidden AV rack containing all electronics.
