Best Integrated Home Winner

Harbour View

Harbour View is a two-level penthouse overlooking Sydney Harbour, designed to deliver an elevated lifestyle without complexity. The homeowner wanted a residence that felt calm, intuitive, and future-ready, with technology that enhanced comfort, efficiency, and connection to the surrounding environment rather than dominating it.

Working within the strict constraints of a multi-dwelling tower, Kayder designed a fully integrated solution that brings lighting, shading, climate, entertainment, security, and building services together into a single, seamless experience. The result is a refined home that quietly adapts to daily life, supporting sustainability goals while preserving the penthouse’s clean architectural vision and uninterrupted harbour views.

Design Challenges and Smart Fixes

The penthouse sits within a tightly regulated high-rise building

Kayder worked closely with developers and building management to integrate apartment systems with central building services.

Sustainability was a core priority

Intelligent lighting scenes, automated shading, and scheduled heating and cooling reduce energy use without sacrificing comfort.

Building-controlled façade blinds needed local apartment control

Custom integration allows the homeowner to control blinds while maintaining automatic weather protection.

The homeowner wanted minimal interaction with technology

Automation was programmed to respond to time of day, weather, and occupancy, reducing the need for manual control.

Standout Features

Seamless Control: Crestron Home brings lighting, climate, shading, security, intercom, and entertainment together under one intuitive interface.

Discreet Entertainment: Hidden speakers and clean display installations deliver music and video without visual clutter.

Flexible Media Room: A dedicated media space transforms easily between cinema and karaoke, supporting both private use and entertainment.

Intelligent Shading Control: Automated blinds maximise daylight and views, while responding automatically to wind and weather conditions.
