Grand Edwardian Refurbishment & Seamless Smart Home Integration in Chester

Our approach to lighting goes far beyond fitting bulbs. From initial design through installation, programming, and control, we create lighting that transforms each space and elevates everyday life. Every fixture is carefully chosen and positioned to enhance architecture, furnishings, and mood. Once installed, our expert team programs bespoke scenes tailored to how the home is lived in — from bright, energizing daytime settings to warm, intimate evenings. With intuitive control across keypads, apps, and automation, residents can adjust lighting effortlessly, while pre-set scenes that we've designed with them and the interior designer, to ensure the home always looks and feels exactly as intended. Lighting is no longer an afterthought; it’s a fully integrated part of the design and the experience.

In the formal lounge, we created a truly grown-up, invisible cinema that blends effortlessly with the interior design. Working closely with the interior team, we developed a bespoke lighting design, handling all cable layouts, specifications, and supply to ensure beam angles, drivers, and colour temperatures delivered maximum impact. Every detail was carefully considered: we designed, wired, and programmed custom Lutron keypads with bespoke scenes to make life at home effortless.

The system extends beyond lighting — we also designed and integrated automated blinds and curtains, collaborating with the build team, interior designer, and curtain maker. All with mechanisms perfectly calibrated to pleat style, fabric weight, and dimensions.

The system is programmed to respond seamlessly with the lighting, window treatments and the movie system: press “Movie” for example, and the blinds close, the lights dim, and the AV system powers on.

We also set up the client’s TV and media sources, including Apple TV, Prime, Netflix, and gaming systems, along with multi-room speakers, allowing music to play from a phone or background soundtrack while enjoying a drink. To keep the experience effortless long-term, we provide free lighting program updates for life, ensuring the system continues to adapt as the family’s lifestyle evolves.

We created a separate home cinema for the clients kids for when they wanted to have friends over, which was inspired by a ski chalet! This is the perfect hideaway for family movie night or gaming with friends.

Really the brief here was effortless living, so every room had automated blinds and /or curtains, lighting control, bedrooms equipped with TV and discreet audio, and the CCTV can be viewed and controlled from out system (whilst the security system manage the security, it is turned on/off by our system).

We also included little touches throughout like specific lighting design around cabinetry and artwork; and TV lift at the master bed, with automated “Goodnight” sequence buttons; which arms the security system, closes all blinds, turns off media downstairs while leaving a light for the dog.

The result is a phenomenal home that combines heritage character with modern living, seamlessly integrating technology without compromising style. Every detail — from bespoke joinery to hidden AV systems, automated lighting and shading, and immersive media walls — contributes to a luxurious yet intuitive home experience.
