Tile House - Luxury Home Integrator finalist, EMEA, 2023

The project brief was to create a fully integrated control system for an elegant home in Kensington. Knektd worked closely with the interior design team to ensure the technology blended seamlessly with the contemporary aesthetics.

The living room and main reception room both contain The Frame, an incredibly slim 65" Samsung TV. When it’s switched off , it transforms into a glare-free canvas displaying either art or photography. The room also features stylish Wisdom P2m on-wall speakers, while the subwoofer is custom built into the joinery. A compact Yamaha MusicCast surround sound system connects with just a single cable

An eight-zone Crestron NAX audio distribution system enables music to be streamed throughout the property. The main living areas and bedrooms have all been fi tted with discreet Sonance in-ceiling speakers which blend into the décor without compromising on audio performance. Even the bathroom and shower/wet room in the master bedroom have Bowers and Wilkins waterproof speakers.

A Crestron lighting system highlights the beautiful contemporary design of the home through the creation of pre-programmed lighting scenes for different occasions such as morning coffee, wine & dine, and relax. A one-touch “all-on” and “all-off ” feature simplifi es operation. For comfort and energy efficiency, ceiling mounted PIR occupancy and daylight sensors have been placed throughout.

The touch screens used to control all lights, climate, shades, audio, video, security, and access are located in flush wall mounts seamlessly integrated into the wall.
