Originally a project intended to be completed and sold, the developer fell in love with the project and decided to develop it into their own home. As KNX had been selected from the beginning, the installation was able to be adapted and developed from a basic system for any buyer, to a custom master piece for the developer. The developer is a fan of automation and has KNX in all their residential and commercial projects, meaning this project grew over years, finally completing in 2021. Anything that had the potential to be automated, was automated. From lighting, heating, cooling, fresh air, through to blinds, sauna, gas fire, Security and CO2 levels. The house reacts to its occupants, the time of day, and external and internal environments, making it the ultimate comfort living. Being on KNX, all the systems react together harmoniously and the extreme logic put into the back end of the project is quickly forgotten when experiencing the seamless ease of living in the property.
