Technology planning during design and construction
The decisions that matter most are made before drywall: equipment room location and cooling, conduit between floors, speaker and display positions, keypad locations, shade pockets and network cabling. Coordinating these with the architect, builder and interior designer avoids opening finished walls and lets the technology disappear into the architecture.
About estate technology
Estate technology brings audio, video, lighting, shading, climate, networking and security together as one designed system. It is planned alongside the architecture, documented before it is installed and supported after handover, so the home stays simple to live in as technology changes.
Every project follows the same sequence: discovery and design, coordination with the architect and builder, documented installation, calibration and commissioning, then ongoing support. Each journal article explores one part of that process in more depth.
