The Lutron Excellence Awards celebrate outstanding projects that exemplify excellence in using Lutron lighting and shading controls and Ketra fixtures, showcasing the pinnacle of innovation and design worldwide. We are proud to have won “Best HomeWorks Project” for our Finch House Project in London.
THE PROJECT
This newly built 18,000 sq/ft state-of-the-art property, located in central London, incorporates formal reception rooms, 6 bedrooms, a kitchen and dining, office, playroom, cinema, indoor swimming pool, gym and spa, extensive garage with car stacker, as well as a vast garden with indoor/outdoor living. The client was eager to use a Lutron lighting control solution, having previously used Lutron at his other properties.
HomeWorks QSX was the ideal solution for this home given its artificial and natural light control as well as temperature, audio, and security control. This installation incorporates 551 circuits with lighting control via a mixture of dimming technology, including 21 DALI circuits, 12 DMX, 17 phase-control, and eleven 0-10V, controlled via 116 custom Palladiom keypads. Throughout the property there are 30 CC/IO interfaces providing integration with third-party equipment that requires contact closure input/output and 6 processors. We installed a Lutron Connect bridge to allow remote access to the system.
Crestron’s overarching control system was implemented for use by our client and their staff, and controlled via a bespoke user interface designed specifically for the client. This controls everything from lighting, window treatments and HVAC to AV, security and access control. Lighting and blind control is also provided by custom Lutron Palladiom and Focus SB keypads, providing reliable functionality while blending into the interior design of the property.
