Three Sustainable Homes

Challenge

We were commissioned to deliver an extensive and holistic home automation solution in three contemporary homes, overlooking Poole Harbour and Purbeck Hills. Being commissioned by a developer who are market leaders in the construction of sustainable homes, the brief was to celebrate sustainable living without compromising on ease of use, exceptional design and most importantly comfort of living.

Solution

We were able to easily deliver three impressive sustainable homes with smart lighting, climate, audio, access and security control, all designed and installed by Loxone London.

In every room, there is a mix of elegant lighting fixtures, LED strip lighting and Loxone spots to create both a functional and aesthetic design, allowing for perfect lighting for every occasion. Presence sensors throughout means that the home intelligently delivers the right lighting mood at the right time. We even used intelligent presence sensing to enable the area outside the steam room to glow red if occupied.

We also integrated the heating system within the Loxone system, controlling underfloor heating on all floors. This allowed for zoned heating control throughout each property, meaning each room could be set to different temperatures. This helped to lower energy consumption and supported the overarching aim of energy efficiency.

Automatic control of blinds and curtains in most rooms takes energy efficiency to the next level. The system responds to rising internal temperatures by automatically closing the blinds/curtains to cool the rooms.

We installed discreet and high performing Loxone speakers in all rooms, resulting in a scalable multiroom audio solution throughout. One of the houses opted for surround sound in the garage, acting as an informal cinema room.

By integrating with motorised doors, Loxone also controls access to the pool infinity doors, roof skylights for maintenance purposes, gates and garage doors.

The Loxone system enabled our client to achieve their sustainability goals, whilst still ensuring the homeowners had optimal comfort and convenience within their home - the perfect solution.
