The three bhk apartment with a basement with modern amities has
been constructed in an affluent area of South Delhi. The apartment belongs to Dr.Jasbir
Chandna who is a reputed Gynecologist. Spread across two floors (ground and
basement) over approx. 4000 sq.ft., the home automation brief together with
architect Anika Mittal Dhawan (mold design studio), necessitated lighting
controls, automation systems, an audio video system and a security system. The overall
intent was to keep natural beauty in tandem with enhancing the beauty of the Residence as desired by owner.
The client brief called for a contemporary luxury interior scope, where Anusha Technovision Pvt. Ltd. has played the virtual role by installing the lighting controls, motorizes shades, speakers, step-up of Home Theater and everything was on the iPAD. Driving the design scheme with simplicity, the enthralling experience of the house begins with the living area whose beauty gets augmented with pleasure by means of a Palladiom keypad. The area is well endowed with natural light and control of lighting systems and motorized shades is enabled with a single touch.
A lighting control system creates the ability for home’s
lighting to be controlled together. Convenience is the primary benefit of
owning a lighting control system, but there are several other important
benefits. Home security systems can be enhanced by controlling the lights
during an alarm situation, turning on to full brightness inside the home and
flashing outside to quickly identify the troubled home for authorities.
Built-in time clock capabilities allow all of the lighting in your home to be
automatically controlled to simulate occupancy while you are away, deterring
potential intruders.
Adjacent to the living area, is the dining space where the family members start the day together with the breakfast and end up with the sweetness of dinner. Lighting controls and slow music from the ceiling speakers act like the cherry on the cake. All the three bedrooms, are fitted with occupancy sensors for energy saving. There are three types of lamp load, wattage and the dimming protocol available; provided 3types of Lutron modules which are 230V Direct Dimmable Module, Switching Module and 0-10V Analog dimming modules for Cove lighting. Seven wired Palladium keypads that are wallmounted (with customize engraving) are used to control Lights, Curtains and the Fan.
The six-seater home theatre adjacent to the party area has the
5.1.2 speakers with 4K projector & 4K screen with the environment of Dolby
Atmos Triad speakers and a fixed framed acoustically transparent screen.
The four washrooms on the first floor and the one in the basement have an occupancy
sensor installed. It is a unique technology that requires minimum effort to
operate the various installations in a room. The morning chants from the in-ceiling
speakers in the Pooja room complete the home.
As one comes down to the basement, mood lighting embellishes the
area to make the bar and party area dynamic and interesting. The sound of
in-celling speakers along with the mood dim lights makes all feet dance with the
music. The Palladiom keypads merge aesthetically with the wall. The automation
fully integrates the Lighting and Shading Control System, the Audio
Distribution System and Crestron AV Control is provided to control devices
like, TV, Tata Sky, Music, Apple TV, BluRay, amplifier (FM, Air-play Audio
Server) etc. The integrated iOS/android device allows the user to control all
the functions of the lighting and shading control system, substituting the
functions of the lighting keypads. The touch panel/ iOS/android devices also
incorporate the virtual remote controls of all audio video sources, in order to
fully control the functions of the audio zones.
Palladiom keypads are used in the Master Bedroom, Entrance Lobby,
Dining & Living Room, Home Theater, and the Party Hall at Basement. Sensors
are being used in all the toilets areas. An audio distribution for all users has
been customized and two sources (Airplay, FM) have been taken for a user. All
user can either use their mobile to play any song from the own mobile play list
via AirPlay or can listen to FM radio. The entire house was designed by the
audio speakers in areas including the Dining Area, Formal Living area and the
Basement party hall. The round speaker from the brand Sonance has been used.
Since the client loves watching movies in her bedroom, a very good 5.1 surround
system was enabled using a three channel Leon sound bar (customized sound bar
from USA that matches the width of 55inch LG TV) and Two round-ceiling speakers
above the bed with AVR that also have in-built AirPlay and FM.
