Wellness was a major priority too, with the brief specifically calling for a spa-like sanctuary built around the gym and spa area, where lighting would be key to achieving that atmosphere.
Inspired Dwellings Ltd built the home on a whole-house Control4 system unifying lighting, curtains and blinds, multi-room TV, a dedicated cinema, multi-room audio, heating and cooling, door and gate entry, and CCTV under a single interface.
The standout layer is an extensively customized Lutron lighting system, with conditional PIR and keypad programming spanning over 100 scenes and 168 lighting circuits, paired with a three-tier Lutron window treatment solution and a Polar Bear heating/cooling system integrated to give the client per-room app control not available from Polar Bear on its own.
Control4 was selected specifically for offering deep customization underneath a simple, scene-based user experience, with over 100 bespoke scenes hiding complex conditional logic behind a few straightforward buttons.
Lutron window treatments were custom-engineered per window type, including curved tracks for bays, in-ceiling automated blinds for skylights, and a three-tier blackout system (blinds, sheer rollers, curtains) in bedrooms.
Individual smart heating and cooling schedules were created per room through the Polar Bear/Control4 integration, recognizing separate routines for children and adults.
Touch panels were recessed to achieve a fully flush finish throughout the property.
