Best Integrated Home Winner

Brick to Beach

Brick to Beach is a modern Australian residence created for homeowners who wanted to move beyond basic lighting control and into a fully integrated smart home experience. Having lived with a more limited automation system in their previous home, the clients were clear about their next step. They wanted a house where lighting, climate, security, shading, and entertainment worked together intelligently, without constant interaction or manual adjustment. 

Design Challenges and Smart Fixes

Simple, intuitive control

A unified control platform brings lighting, climate, shades, security, and media together under one simple interface. 

Power limitations required careful planning

Intelligent automation, motion sensing, and adaptive heating logic reduced demand while maintaining comfort. 

Two media spaces needed different personalities

The main living area prioritises clean design and everyday viewing, while a convertible guest/media room transforms for cinema use. 

Home needed to feel calm, not over-automated

Systems were programmed to respond automatically to time of day, occupancy, and conditions, reducing the need for interaction. 

“Brick to Beach is a home where technology works quietly in the background, creating a comfortable, efficient, and intuitive living experience that feels effortless every day.”
