Epsom Penthouse - Stunningly Simple

This full-featured home automation project enhances the already stunning architecturally designed space.

This home automation project was in a beautiful penthouse atop the urban village on the edge of racecourse at the Alexandra Park Apartments in Epsom, Auckland.

A solid backbone of smart wiring infrastructure allows our client flexibility in connecting televisions, network devices and to add new equipment as technology changes.  Fibre optic connections, high-end networking switches and access points ensure ultra-fast Wi-Fi and device connectivity.

A Vantage automation and lighting control system gives full customised control over technology in the home, while providing a clean, sleek aesthetic on touchscreens, keypads and mobile devices via the Vantage app.  Five mobile devices can control the home concurrently.

The automation system has been programmed with custom lighting scenes such as ‘warm’ mode on arrival home, turning on lights in the hallway and kitchen to a preset level; a ‘goodnight’ button turns all lights off; ‘vacation mode’ shuts off additional items such as heated towel rails and triggers lights as if the client was home in the evening.

The automation system is the brains of the apartment, giving full control of lighting, motorised curtains, bathroom fans and audio-visual entertainment functions.  Our client also has the ability to view weather forecasts and traffic cameras, make changes to their favourite presets and add new functions at any time.

Both living room and family room are set up for the enjoyment of music and movies, with a high-end 5.1 surround sound system, custom LCR soundbar which matches the width of the television, plus a Blu-ray player and Apple TV media player to access streaming services such as Netflix.

These rooms also feature dedicated touchscreen remotes which provide a reliable and easy to use control platform for universal control for the AV system, lighting and curtain control in each room.

AV and networking equipment is neatly installed inside cabinetry on 2 purpose-built slide-out AV racks in the family and living room and features a cooling system to ensure heat sensitive equipment is not damaged.

An Apple iPad tablet in the kitchen/dining wall is docked with a recessed charging station giving on-wall and mobile control of all systems.  An additional 32” display is recessed into the kitchen wall.

A multi-room audio system provides 1 stream of high-resolution audio to 6 zones via architectural in-ceiling speakers throughout the home and surface mounted speakers in balcony eves.  The multi-room audio system is also controllable via the Autonomic App and the dedicated touchscreen remotes in the family and living room.

Our client has simplified their life with this full featured technology installation and at one button touch they can draw the curtain, start the music and take in the spectacular views of the volcanic cones, the city skyline, Rangitoto Island, the Hauraki Gulf and Waitemata Harbour.

Light privacy sheers or heavy blackout drapes are easily incorporated into the system.

Control can be manual from simple bedside keypads or via app or it can be automatic ie a wake up timer, goodnight button or the drapes can open or close based on the alarm being set or unset.

If you have many sets of curtains or blinds these can be controlled individually or grouped into rooms, wings or whole home.

The clean lines of our recessed curtain tracks are very popular with our clients, their interior designers and architects.

Completion date: 2022
