The Manor

Large Property - Full Fledged KNX & Control4 Solution.

Lighting, Heating, Multi-Room Audio & Visual, Window Treatments, 5.1 Media Room, Games & Cinema Room, CCTV, Gate Access, Data/ WiFi.

The client purchased this large property and is in the process of refurbishing it throughout with the addition of a large extension and separate outbuilding being used for a dedicated Games & Cinema Room with Golf Simulator.

Our initial client visit was to discuss a full fledged Games Room in the separate outbuilding with a Cinema Screen, Dolby Atmos Speaker System, Golf Simulator, multiple Televisions and an Outside Audio Zone. Following a design and consultation period, the client was so impressed with what was possible, they decided to expand the solution to the entire property to take advantage of the many benefits that come with an installation of this kind.

A KNX Lighting & Heating System has been specified and a fully fledged Control4 Audio Visual & Automation System that will control all aspects of the property including the following ‘Sub Systems’ - Lighting, Heating, Multi-Room Audio & Visual, Window Treatments, 5.1 Media Room, Games & Cinema Room, CCTV and Gate Access. All of this will be tied across the entire site with a 10 Gigabit IT & Data/ WiFi Infrastructure.

All of the ‘Sub Systems’ are tied into an easy to use Control4 Smart Home System, allowing the client to view and operate the entire property with ease from on wall Touch Screens, Hand Held Remotes and through a single Smart Phone App (Control4), accessible from anywhere in the world.

Media Room

The client created a rear extension which contains the Kitchen, Dining Room and Lounge into one large open plan space.

A Feature Wall was suggested with hidden Colour Selectable LED Lighting to create ambience for the Large 98” TV. The client loved the idea as it gave a real focus while also giving a clean and tidy appearance within the room.

All the Audio & Visual Sources (Sky Q, Plex Media Server, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify) are viewable on the 98” 4K HDR TV including the Hikvision CCTV Cameras, however, the equipment is hidden out of sight in the central Plant Room.

A dedicated Control4 ‘Halo’ Remote Control has been supplied, making one button selection of all Sources including Media, Climate and Curtain Tracks easy and immediate to use. As well as this, full control using the clients Smart Phones and Tablets is provided with the Control4 App, offering very easy and intuitive access and control of everything from TV, Music & Lighting to CCTV from anywhere in the world. Two dedicated ‘In Wall Touch Screens’ are also located in the kitchen and Lounge to enable quick and easy access to not only this room, but the entire property.

To add to the lighting, more Hidden Colour Selectable LED Lighting is installed in the Ceiling Coffers and is programmed into easy to use scenes from the KNX wall keypads. The TV Wall LED Lighting automatically comes on and off with the Television.

The Kitchen has Stereo In-Ceiling Speakers, the Dining Room has an on Wall Television and Stereo In-Ceiling Speakers, the Lounge has a Large 98” Television with Triad In-Ceiling Speakers forming a 5.1 Surround Sound System for Movies and also a Stereo Speaker Solution from Devialet for Music.

This is effectively 3 separate zones of entertainment which requires a unique solution to be provided. Using Control4 we are able to manage this from any of the two in wall ‘Control4 - 10” Touch Screens’, the Halo Hand Held Remote or the clients’ Smart Phones. Control4 allows all 3 zones (Kitchen/ Dining/ Lounge) to act independently or share the same source material in perfect synchronisation across the two TVs and the speakers of the 3 Audio Zones with ease.

The 'Media Room' is a marriage of 'Smart Home Audio Visual Solutions' along with 'Contemporary Interior Design Principles' that result in technically accurate and visually enjoyable space that are extremely easy to use.
