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.

Kayder partnered closely with the architect and builder from the earliest stages, ensuring technology supported the home’s clean, coastal design rather than competing with it. The result is a refined, future-ready residence that adapts quietly to daily life, managing comfort, efficiency, and security in the background while allowing the architecture and interiors to take center stage.

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 prioritizes 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.

Standout Features

Truly Unified Smart Home: Lighting, climate, shading, security, and entertainment operate together through Crestron Home, creating a consistent experience throughout the residence.

Lighting Adapts Naturally: Scene-based and motion-driven lighting supports daily routines, enhances architectural features, and reduces unnecessary energy use.

Intelligent Climate Control: Underfloor heating and HVAC work together, adjusting automatically based on real-time conditions for comfort and efficiency.

Discreet Design Integration: Samsung Frame displays and Bang & Olufsen speakers are built into custom joinery, preserving the home’s minimalist aesthetic.

Security Without intrusion: Integrated intercoms, access control, and surveillance provide peace of mind while remaining unobtrusive.

A Home That Quietly Runs Itself: Automated routines reduce daily decisions, allowing the homeowners to simply enjoy the space.
