Integrated Home Living (IHA) is flexible enough to include all or any of the following:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

L<\/span>ighting, audio, home cinema, climate control, blinds,\u00a0<\/span>appliances<\/span>\u00a0and security. It is about integrating smart technology into everyday life with the result that the home environment becomes your pleasant, personalized space.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Discussing your plans as early as the design stage is key to a great result when building a new or renovating an existing home. Our projects aren’t about just winning a tender for a\u00a0<\/span>house, but<\/span>\u00a0creating a home and an on-going relationship with the owners to ensure they are well-placed to consider utilizing the continual exponential growth of technology in the family home.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We aim to future-proof and grow the operation of automation in the home without any limitations after the home is built.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Being able to install\u00a0<\/span><\/span>all of<\/span><\/span>\u00a0these products to seamlessly work in each area independently and altogether was the largest part of turning this High<\/span><\/span>–<\/span><\/span>Quality House into a Home.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

This meant all video devices had the potential to be used independently in each area of the home, or even distributed throughout the whole home for a<\/span><\/span>n entertainment scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The crucial component of this design was to ensure each of the screens and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>speakers were in sync with each other for when the entertainment scene was used.

    With Houses architecturally built like this one, we had to ensure the method and cable types we had installed were going to cope with the advances in technology over the years to come.\u00a0<\/span>This ensures that the Home grows with the advances in\u00a0<\/span>t<\/span>echnology, rather than just being an outdated house with\u00a0<\/span>a limitation on the infrastructure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
