When we saw this stunning Loxone powered home (installed by Amica) we just had to share it. located in Ferndown, east Dorset, the property was rebuilt from the ground up last year. Over to Loxone for the full story…
Ferndown
The grandeur of the home is immediately apparent as you turn off the road into the gravelled drive. walk into the double volume entrance hall and you’ll be welcomed by an interior that has been beautifully decorated. It was important both for the architect and the homeowner that the interior was not overshadowed by the smart home technology, and rightly so.
In fact, looking around the home you would be forgiven for not immediately noticing that this is a smart home because of the lack of typical big control panels and banks of switches. As this is a great example of a real smart Home, you’ll start to notice that the intelligence is actually behind the scenes; with Loxone taking care of the lighting, heating, security and access control without the homeowner or their guests needing to do anything.
When it came to building their dream home, the family had two requirements of the home automation; future-proof cabling and a solution that would centralise the main aspects of the home, such as the lighting and heating.
It was important that this approach to automation was already at the fore when the family started working with their architect; Chewton Bespoke Homes. The architect works with Loxone Gold Partner, Amica, to take care of the smart home planning on some of their builds. The family appreciated how having smart home experts on-hand meant they could already envisage throughout the planning stages what lighting and other functionality they would have on a room by room basis.
Another important consideration for this family was the ability to control all of the lights in the house and have an overview of what was on, no matter whether they are at home or on holiday.
The family have had some time to settle in so we caught up with them and Ben from Amica to find out about some of their favourite functions and their experience of ensuring their dream home was a smart home…
The Day Space
The main smart home feature in this home is evident in the large day space area – an immense open plan area on the ground floor, leading off the entrance hall through double doors ahead of you. There you’ll find the entertaining heart of the home. A beautifully arranged seating area with a side-by-side fireplace and flat screen TV adorning a feature wall; a 12-seater dining table and drinks sideboard; flanked by a double volume kitchen with solid clean lines, and a robust island with three modern metallic cut-out patterned pendant lights hanging above.
This day space area has natural light aplenty thanks to an array of windows, skylights and two double glass doors opening up onto a wrap-around patio and immaculate lawn.
All things bright and Beautiful
Lighting was the main aspect of the home that the family wanted to be intelligently automated, as well as to be able to control remotely. With Loxone, this is exactly what Amica have delivered.
Throughout the home, lights turn on and off automatically, meaning the family doesn’t ever need to worry if they leave a light on. When the family gets home from work or school, the lights start to come on automatically based on the time of day and the light level in the room. If the room has enough natural sunlight then the lights don’t even need to come on at all. This is great for parts of the home such as the day space, where natural light can flood in on a sunny day. Of course, after dusk or if it is an overcast day, then the lights will turn on with motion to ensure the room is adequately lit.
The lady of the house is particularly impressed with the ability to see, at a glance, which lights are on in the house using the Loxone smart home app – wherever in the world she may be.
With Loxone, each room has various lighting moods to suit different occasions, making use of different light levels, circuits and potentially colours. In the day space, there is an entertaining lighting mood which can be set with a tap on one of the Touch switches located around the room.
“Being able to tap a few times on the switch and select a lighting mood that suits the environment is always a winner. When we are entertaining guests we can tap the switch a few times and set the lights to a beautiful entertaining mood which tends to go down well with our guests! They are shocked and amazed at how easily the system can be controlled and how many different lights can be combined to create so many different atmospheres.”
The smart lighting in this home also adjusts the level of light based on time. For example, when it’s 3am and someone needs to use the bathroom or a trip to the kitchen, the lights turn on at an appeasingly low level or only one lighting circuit turns on so that there is justएकको मार्ग पत्ता लगाउन पर्याप्त प्रकाश तर अरू कसैलाई चकित पार्नुहोस् वा कसैलाई उठाउन सक्दैन।
चीजहरू तैरिरहेका छन्
हाम्रो घरका साथ हामी हाम्रो घरसँग कुराकानी गर्ने तरीकाले घर स्वयम्कृत हुँदा राम्रोको लागि परिवर्तन हुन्छ। त्यहाँ धेरै कार्यहरू छन् जुन लोक्टोन प्रणालीले हाम्रो लागि हेरचाह मात्र लिन्छ। यस स्मार्ट होममा, एउटा विशिष्ट सुविधा जुन तपाईले कहिल्यै अन्तर्क्रिया गर्नुभएन, दृश्य पछाडिको बौद्धिक स्तरको बधाई स्तम्भितको लागि धन्यवाद, zoned स्मार्ट तटैको दिन को दिनहरू एक लोक्सोन प्रणाली निरन्तर शिक्षा र स्वचालित रूपमा देखिन्छ। के परिवारले पाहुनाहरू माथि रहन गर्नुपर्दछ, कोठाको तापक्रम सजीलै समायोजित गर्न सकिन्छ।
यस घरमा स्मिर्ट तट गर्ने पक्षमा अर्को पक्ष पनि छ जुन वास्तवमा बेनको मनपर्ने सुविधाहरू हो:
“यद्यपि बाथरूम पहिले नै भवनहरू सुपरब स्थापनाबाट राम्रो र तातो हुन सक्छ, वा एक सुन्दर गर्मी दिनको सूर्य; तपाईं अझै पनि न्यानो, सुख्खा तौलनहरू पाउन सक्नुहुनेछ जब तपाईं नुहाउनबाट बाहिर निस्कनुहुन्छ – जे होस् जोन तताउने पनि हुनुपर्ने कुनै कारण छैन। Tabel रेल ब्यूवर प्रकार्य को लागी धन्यवाद छ जसले एक पटकमा 20 मिनेटमा तौल रेलहरू स्विच गर्दछ। लुक्लेटिकले तताउने प्रणाली नियन्त्रण गर्दछ, बारुलले कुनै समय नम्बरमा एक तौलिया रेडरेटरलाई तताउन सक्छन्, इलेक्ट्रिक तौलिया रेल भन्दा धेरै चाँडो। साथै, हामी कोठाबाट सुख्खा बनाउन कोठा सुख्खा हुन को लागी आर्द्रता सेन्सर प्रयोग गर्थ्यौं – जसको साथ छ (फेरी, पृष्ठभूमिमा राम्रोसँग काम गर्ने) याद गरिएको छ)।
हीटिंग प्रणाली जोन छ, जसको मतलब हो, ऊर्जा एकैसाथ सबै कोठाहरू कुटपिट गरिएको छैन। यदि परिवार ओछ्यानमा जानु भन्दा पहिले माथिल्लो भागमा चलचित्रको आनन्द लिदै छ भने, त्यसपछि एकै समयमा ठूलो स्वागत क्षेत्र तल झारिरहेको छैन। अवश्य पनि, तताउने अस्तानको बौद्धिक बिभिन्नता सब भन्दा माथिको नियन्त्रण गरिएको छ – स्वचालित रूपमा। प्रत्येक कोठाको लागि तताउनेको आफ्नै तालिका र कस्टम तापमान सम्म चल्छ। प्रत्येक कोठामा तापक्रम टच स्विचहरू द्वारा पढिन्छ, जसको मतलब छुट्टै तापक्रमीय संवेदकहरूका लागि आवश्यक छैन – अर्को उत्तम तरिका जुन टेक्नोलोजीबाट विचलित हुँदैन।
सबैको जीवनलाई उत्तम तालिकामा चल्दैन तर लोक्टोन स्मार्ट घरलाई यो थाहा हुन्छ। यदि परिवार अपेक्षित भन्दा पहिले घर आइपुग्छ, वा यदि तिनीहरू मनोरन्जन गर्दै पाहुनाहरू अझै पनी अझै पत्ता लगाइन्छ भने, घर निश्चित छ कि एक आरामदायक तापक्रममा। यो सबै बिना थर्मोस्टाट समायोजित गर्न वा एक अनुप्रयोगको लागि पहुँच गर्न आवश्यक छैन।
रात् मोड
बेडसाइड स्पर्शको ट्रिपल क्लिकको साथ सम्पूर्ण घर आफैंले ‘रात मोड’ सक्रिय रूपमा ओछ्यानमा राख्न थाल्छ; कुनै पनि बत्तीहरूको साथ जसले आफूलाई बन्द नगरीकन र सुरक्षाको लागि तल झारिरहेको छ। सबै तताउने क्षेत्र जुन अझै पनि तालिकामा हेरिरहेका छन् उनको तालिकामा हेर्दैछ र उर्जा र पैसा खर्च हुँदैन।
ग्यारेज र गेट
परियोजनाको कारण, फाटक र ग्यारेज ढोकाको नियन्त्रण लोक्सोन प्रणालीमा थपियो। यसले परिवारलाई मात्र खोल्न र लोक्सोन स्मार्ट गृह अनुप्रयोगबाट खोल्ने र बन्द गर्ने क्षमता मात्र गर्दैन तर ग्यारेज खुला छ – जे भए पनि उनीहरू ओछ्यानमा वा छुट्टीमा छन्।
स्विच र सेन्सरहरू
डोरन (आर्किटेक्ट) र बेन दुवै दुबै गनगन गर्नका लागि यो निश्चित गर्नका लागि कुनै पनि बौद्धिक प्रविधि मा सम्झौता गरिएको थिएन। and it wasn’t. प्रणालीमा समुद्री मैदानमा नियन्त्रणलाई अनुमति दिनका लागि स्विच र सेन्सरहरूमा रणनीतिक क्षेत्रमा राखिएका थिए तर घरको डिजाइनमा कुनै नकारात्मक प्रभाव पार्न पनि। For this, the multifaceted Loxone Touch was the perfect fit.
Smart Garden
As future-proofing their home was a requirement of this family during the planning stage, Amica decided to install one additional Loxone component during the build to ensure that when the family are ready to add smart home functionality to the garden, such as smart lighting, then there is the option to do so without hassle.
Set over three floors, this remarkable home has been made even more remarkable thanks to the way that Loxone has been used to intelligently automate the lighting, heating, security and access control. The healthy working relationship between architects who understand the importance of including home automation considerations at the planning stage and a professional smart home installation company such as Amica is evident in the meticulously finished product.
Ferndown is a real smart home where so many aspects of the home are simply taken care of behind the scenes, making life simpler and making being in this dream home that much more enjoyable.
I love being a Loxone partner and installing their products. It keeps me at the forefront of the industry and I’m always busy with new and exciting projects. as for the quality of the Loxone devices, I cannot fault it as the craftsmanship and technology underneath is secondकुनै पनि छैन।
