Technology Beyond the Home Finalist

Georgian London Town House

This Grade-listed Georgian townhouse in central London had fallen into disrepair before being reimagined as a multifunctional base for a family-run business, client meetings, charitable work, and social gatherings. The challenge was not just modernising the property, but doing so in a way that respected its architectural heritage while supporting the demands of a contemporary professional environment.

Edison AV & IT Projects delivered a discreet, design-conscious technology solution that supports daily business operations, secure communications, and high-end entertaining. Meeting rooms, offices, lounges, and reception areas now operate seamlessly, with technology woven quietly into the building’s fabric so the historic character remains intact.

Design Challenges and Smart Fixes

The property is a listed building with strict planning restrictions

All technology was planned in advance and integrated sympathetically, avoiding visible disruption to walls, ceilings, and period details.

The building needed to function as both a workplace and an entertaining space

Meeting rooms, offices, lounges, and dining areas were equipped to transition easily between professional use and social events.

Multiple teams were involved in the redevelopment

Edison worked closely with architects and interior designers, providing detailed drawings and coordination to ensure alignment from the outset.

Business-critical systems required reliability and security

Separate, secure networks were created for AV, lighting, security, and IT, ensuring performance without compromising data protection.

Standout Features

Integrated Meeting and Conferencing Spaces: Crestron-powered meeting rooms support video conferencing, presentations, and scheduling, allowing the building to function as a modern London office base.

Lighting and Shading Control: Lutron HomeWorks QSX manages lighting, motorised blinds, and privacy glass, with switch styles selected to suit the Georgian interiors.

Robust Networking: A Ubiquiti-based AV network operates alongside the client’s IT systems, keeping business and technology functions secure and reliable.

Invisible Audio Solutions: Plaster-in speakers and concealed subwoofers deliver high-quality sound in rooms where visible speakers were not permitted.
