We are absolutely thrilled to showcase one of our most ambitious takeover projects to date - our Yorkshire Smart Home Renovation & Refurb!

The client approached us in early 2022 us to takeover and upgrade the control system in this stunning Yorkshire property. The client already was already working with electricians but wanted us to join the project to work on the Clipsal system that was already in place and failing. We recommended a complete overhaul to a Control4 system to allow for much smoother installation and integration process and much more automation options, something which the client was more than onboard for.

After an extensive design and survey process, our work on the Yorkshire Smart Home Renovation project began in the summer of 2022. Due to the size of the property and the scale of the renovation and refurb, the project was carried out in stages.

The first stage of the Yorkshire Smart Home Renovation involved the removal of the previous control system and replacing it with Control4 components. This process was also completed in stages so that aspects of the property such as lighting and heating were still functional in areas which were being worked on. At this stage we also installed the 44u termination box that was built off site. As more of the property had progressed from the interior design standpoint, we then added TVs and Lifts, motion sensors, speakers, touchscreens and more.

The final room for us to complete was the cinema room. We first installed the 7.2.4 audio system, Future Automation projector lift & Sony Projector followed by the 110 Projecta screen to cover the front audio speakers and the stunning Starscape fibre optic ceiling to cover the in ceiling speakers.

Once the majority of the property was renovated we then installed the 44u rack into the property. This allowed us to complete the final install and automation programming throughout the home such as scheduled lighting and heating.

Our client expressed a strong desire for an immersive sound experience throughout the home, especially in the kitchen, dining room and upstairs Game & Bar room. To fulfil this, we strategically positioned ceiling speakers in each room. As the client is often hosting guests, this allows for a party like atmosphere throughout every space in the home.

As the client is a sports enthusiast they installed a cutting-edge golf simulator in the renovated garage. In this space we incorporated in ceiling speakers and LED lighting throughout to offer a more immersive experience.

The inclusion of a video doorbell intercom and gate control system was driven by our client's need for security and convenience. They sought a solution that would allow them to see and communicate with visitors at their doorstep, whether they were at home or away. This feature not only provides peace of mind but also enables effortless management of visitors. The intercom system in the property can also be used to call other rooms in the house as well.

In the master bedrooms, we utilised the previous ceiling TV lift space to install much more reliable Future Automation drop down lifts. At the touch of a button, the TV emerges  from the ceiling, offering personalised entertainment. When not in use, the TV seamlessly retracts, preserving the aesthetics of both rooms.

Seamless access to video content was another priority, we implemented a comprehensive video distribution system, enabling high-quality streaming to multiple screens throughout the home. This allows our clients to enjoy their favourite shows and movies from any room in the home including the cinema room.

Creating the perfect ambiance was achieved through LED colour-changing lighting throughout the mansion. Our client desired the ability to effortlessly adjust the lighting to suit their mood or occasion. The clients prefer a neutral or warmer tones but have the ability to change this via the colour wheels on the touchscreens or Control4 app.

Climate control was a top priority for our client. To meet their needs, we installed a state-of-the-art Heatmiser heating control system that enables easy regulation of the temperature in each room. This ensures optimal comfort and energy efficiency throughout the year via radiators or underfloor heating.

Due to the size of the property, we strategically placed discrete access points throughout the mansion, providing reliable and high-speed wireless internet access in every corner.

This home is almost unrecognisable compared to pre-renovation self and the upgraded Control4 system has added convenience, comfort and peace of mind for the clients day in and day out.
