MCBEE set out to make a sprawling 12-acre estate feel effortless to live in, whether it’s filled with a hundred guests or just the family on a quiet evening. One simple system looks after everything, so the music, lighting, climate and blinds all respond to the moment without anyone having to think about them. No matter where you are on the estate..
The technology stays out of sight. Screens sit flush in the walls, speakers disappear into the architecture, and the lounges sound as good as a recording studio. The bar is ready for live music, so an evening can turn into a performance. As daylight fades, the blinds close and the lights glow, setting the mood for the night ahead.
The finale is on a detached building on the estate, where the exterior wall becomes a canvas of moving light, with colours that dance to the music. With a single touch, the whole estate comes to life at once.
Crestron Home was deployed as a single unified interface across all subsystems, with colour-matched keypads programmed on consistent logic throughout the property so a guest moving between blocks never had to relearn the system.
K-Array's slim architectural speaker line was used throughout, positioned with the same care as any design element, while every flat panel display was recessed flush into wall paneling, framed like artwork when active and invisible when off.
Each DALI-KNX point was individually tested and programmed into crafted moods and scenes, with the labor remaining entirely invisible to residents and guests.
