The Approach

Wired from the slab up, around one platform.

A large new-build home on the East Rand, engineered for whole-home control from the first-fix stage. Every cable run, speaker position and equipment location was planned around a single Control4 platform — a CORE 5 primary controller backed by distributed CORE controllers — so that lighting, climate, audio, video, the cinema and the outdoor spaces all answer to one interface from in-wall touchscreens and HALO remotes.

Video is distributed over an HDANYWHERE MHUB matrix; multi-room audio runs on Anthem amplification driving Klipsch in-ceiling speakers indoors and Sonance speakers across the outdoor areas, with a weatherproof Splash IP66 television at the pool. At the heart of the home sits a dedicated cinema built around Barco 4K laser projection and a full Monitor Audio and Marantz reference system.
