Lutterworth Smart Home

What really sets this property apart from many of our other projects in the stunning lighting (designed by lighting expert Richard Voller, who we introduced to the client).

The property’s 76 lighting circuits add a stunning visual dimension to the family’s new home—inside and out. An intelligent Lutron control system operates the circuits, and integrates with the home’s automation technology.

Through the Control4 app, the family can choose from a number of pre-set lighting scenes throughout their home, using either a smart device or the engraved wallplates. Or if they prefer, they can set the mood themselves by controlling each circuit individually. Gentle, inset floor-level lighting comes on at night-time in the first floor gallery.

The bathrooms and corridors have motion sensors, which automatically trigger the lights at night when needed. What’s more, the many contemporary artworks around the home and garden are illuminated with their own specially designed lighting.

Whole house entertainment.

One of the owner’s main objectives was for his family to be able to enjoy video and music all around the home. The entertainment system features seven TVs, including an eye-catching 80-inch Samsung model set into a stone wall in the family room, and a 65-inch curved-screen Samsung in the master bedroom.

A video matrix distributes content to the TVs—except for those in the children’s bedrooms, which have restricted-channel Sky boxes.
