Meticulous planning sees cutting-edge technology seamlessly intertwine with stunning architecture to create this luxury home in Sandton.
The technology specification for the project was ambitious and, while technology was integrated into every corner of the home, one of the client’s priorities was that it be easy to control and manage so it became part of the everyday lives of the family residing in House Sandton.
BNC Technology used its expertise to guide the clients in the right direction with the technology selected, but also to make sure the homeowners understood how the home could work for them.
Jessica le Roux, head of marketing at BNC Technology, says: “We wanted to upgrade the lives of the family that would be residing there, and for the final outcome to transform their lives.”
The impressive residence has five bedrooms including a master bedroom suite with dressing room and plenty of spaces for relaxing, entertaining and living that include a gym, wine cellar, dining and kitchen area, a lanai (or covered outdoor area), a family room, games room, studies for both the children and parents and a staff utility room.
Technology is seamlessly interwoven into the fabric of the building with easy access to control and many functions automated through the programming of presets and the use of sensors installed throughout the home.
A Control4 control system sits at the heart of the project, which Mbali Xulu, electronic systems designer at BNC Technology, describes as a: “full turn-key automation system handling the lighting, multi-room audio and the intercom system.” A Control4 CA-10 automation controller and EA-5 entertainment and automation controller are the brains of the system and video signals are routed through an AVPro Edge AC-Axion-8 AV matrix switch paired with HDBaseT receivers. BNC Technology also supplied the homeowners with Control4 Neeo remotes and a mixture of in-wall and portable T4 series 10-in touchscreens.
