A Tour of a Recent Home Automation Project in Dublin
Blending modern smart home technology into a listed property requires a careful balance — enhancing how the home functions without compromising its character. This recent project in Kinsealy, Dublin is a strong example of how discreet technology can elevate everyday living while remaining almost invisible.
At the heart of the home, the main living space features a stunning Bang & Olufsen BeoVision Theatre paired with BeoLab 28, BeoLab 18, and a BeoLab 19 subwoofer, delivering a cinematic experience within a refined, design-led setting. Simpler but equally elegant AV solutions were introduced in other rooms, including a BeoSound Stage setup in the library and a striking BeoSound Shape installation in the dining area.
Lighting throughout the property is controlled via a Lutron HomeWorks system, allowing the client to create tailored scenes for different times of day. Carefully selected SeeTouch keypads ensure the controls feel as premium as the finishes around them, while also contributing to a more comfortable, wellness-focused environment.
For shading, Lutron Palladiom Wire-Free blinds were installed — a key solution for a listed property where wiring options are limited. These provide glare control and protect interiors from UV exposure, all while maintaining the home’s architectural integrity.
Outside, a Sonance Garden Array system delivers high-quality audio across multiple zones, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor entertainment experience.
Small touches, like integrating the client’s coffee machine into the control system with a single button press, highlight what makes a truly smart home — not just impressive technology, but thoughtful convenience.
This project demonstrates how, when done correctly, home automation doesn’t stand out — it simply makes living better.
