Smart home systems for St John's Wood villas and apartments
In the mansion blocks and newer developments, the constraints are lease terms, shared risers and neighbours either side. We design apartment systems that need no external fixings at all: wired lighting control, in-ceiling speakers, hidden equipment in a ventilated cupboard, and shading motors quiet enough for a bedroom.
The detached villas are the other extreme — pool rooms, gyms, staff areas, garden studios and gated frontages, all of which need to be on the same control system and the same network. Getting the cabling backbone right on day one is what keeps those houses trouble-free later.
Second homes and frequently empty properties are common here, so away-mode matters: heating protection, presence lighting, camera alerts and a phone call to us instead of to a call centre when something needs attention while you are abroad.

Smart home answers for St John's Wood
Can this be done in a leasehold apartment?
Yes. We design internal-only systems that need no roof, façade or riser alterations, which keeps the freeholder and managing agent comfortable.
How noisy are motorised blinds?
In bedrooms we specify the quietest motor options and set slower travel speeds, so a timed morning opening will not wake you.
We are away for long periods — can you keep an eye on things?
We can set up away routines and alerts, and hold keys with your instruction so an issue can be dealt with rather than waiting until you land.
