Often chosen for
Whole-home wired control where openness and long-term serviceability matter.
Crestron
A comprehensive control and AV ecosystem built around central processors, custom programming and refined touch interfaces.
Often chosen for
Homes where audio-visual, bespoke interfaces and complex logic are central.
Lutron

Intelligent systems
Everything connected. Nothing complicated.
Ten disciplines, designed as one home. Choose a system to see what it does, how it feels to live with and how it connects to everything else.
Intelligent Lighting
- What it does
- Dimmable circuits, tunable white and layered scenes designed with the architecture, controlled from keypads, touch panels and schedules.
- How it feels
- Rooms change character with a single touch: bright for work, warm for dinner, low for late evenings.
- How it connects
- Scenes coordinate with shades, climate, AV and security so one action sets the whole room.
Climate & Comfort
- What it does
- Room-by-room control of HVAC, VRF and ventilation with schedules and occupancy logic.
- How it feels
- Each room is comfortable when you use it, and quietly economical when you do not.
- How it connects
- Shading closes against afternoon sun; unoccupied rooms set back automatically.
Curtains & Blinds
- What it does
- Motorised curtains, sheers and blinds grouped by façade, room or time of day.
- How it feels
- Wake to gentle daylight, protect art and furnishings from glare, close the house at dusk.
- How it connects
- Linked to lighting scenes, the cinema and sunrise or sunset schedules.
Audio & Multi-room Music
- What it does
- Architectural speakers and distributed audio, with sources shared across zones.
- How it feels
- Music follows you from the terrace to the kitchen without visible equipment.
- How it connects
- Volume and sources are part of scenes; the doorbell and announcements can lower the music.
Home Cinema
- What it does
- Dedicated theatres and media rooms designed for picture, sound, acoustics and seating.
- How it feels
- A film begins with one press: lights fade, shades close, the screen and sound wake.
- How it connects
- Cinema control lives in the same interface as the rest of the home.
Security & Surveillance
- What it does
- Cameras, recording, intrusion detection and perimeter lighting, designed as one system.
- How it feels
- Know who is at the gate and see what matters, at home or away.
- How it connects
- Arming the alarm can switch off lights, close shades and confirm doors are locked.
Smart Access & Video Door Phone
- What it does
- Video door stations, smart locks and gate control with defined user rights.
- How it feels
- Let in a guest or a delivery from anywhere, with a record of who came and when.
- How it connects
- The arrival scene lights the path and entrance when the door is unlocked.
Networking & Wi-Fi
- What it does
- Structured cabling, enterprise-grade switching and planned Wi-Fi coverage.
- How it feels
- Dependable coverage in every room, including the garden and staff quarters.
- How it connects
- The network is the backbone for control, AV and cameras, planned from day one.
Integrated Home Control
- What it does
- Keypads, touch panels and apps that present one consistent way to run the home.
- How it feels
- Family, guests and staff use the home naturally, without learning several apps.
- How it connects
- One interface across lighting, climate, shading, AV, security and access.
Energy Monitoring
- What it does
- Metering of key circuits and systems, with visibility of consumption over time.
- How it feels
- Understand where energy is used and act on it, without compromising comfort.
- How it connects
- Data informs schedules and can coordinate with solar and backup systems where present.
