Perfect Integration Limited built the apartment around Savant, which the client already knew, so he could start using it on day one. Lutron looks after lighting and the quiet, motorised blinds, and a KNX system joins up the air conditioning, VRV units and electric underfloor heating. All of it appears on the same Savant screen.
The details make it feel personal. Bathroom lights turn cooler by day and warmer into the evening and night. Blinds open with “Welcome” to frame the beach view, and the bedroom blackouts close with “Goodnight” (the entry notes this was meant to help the children’s bedtime). Goodnight and Goodbye buttons switch off music, TVs and lights in one press. The main living room TV rises from a hidden lift, and the media room has planar magnetic speakers chosen to work with all the glass. The outdoor speakers face forward only, to keep sound away from neighbouring apartments.
The original single-circuit 240V track specification couldn't support mixed fixture types across such a long run, so the team switched the full track to a DALI system, allowing tuneable white task lighting, artwork lighting and flush special-function lights to share one seamless track while staying true to the architect's design intent.
The gallery's supply chain and the artwork's manufacturer were unable to share details, protecting the artist's proprietary technique, so the team adapted by switching the artwork via a DALI relay converter, delivering reliable control without compromising the artist's process.
The team performed full site measurements, coffered ceiling designs and corner setting-out in coordination with the architectural team, specifying Lutron's Intelligent Hembar Alignment protocol to achieve a best-fit, best-function result beyond what alternative suppliers could offer.
The team located a James PowerPipe subwoofer within an air-conditioning grille register for a fully hidden yet acoustically well-positioned and serviceable solution, and hid a PlayStation within study joinery using an active hybrid fibre HDMI cable with localised temperature-activated ventilation to prevent overheating.
