Last week we had the pleasure to host Gary Whitechurch and Joe Sheppard from GPW Architects for the CEDIA ‘Designing Home Cinemas and Media Rooms’ RIBA accredited CPD briefing.

Visiting our show house allowed us to provide Gary and Joe with a hands on tour and demonstration of various smart home solutions and our media room as well as the CPD briefing.

Digital entertainment plays a huge part in the modern lifestyle and is something that can be truly astounding when experienced in the correct environment. Dedicated and convertible entertainment spaces need careful thought and professional design to perform well, and ultimately wow the homeowner. Discover the principles of how to design and implement these entertainment spaces.

The ‘Designing Home Cinemas and Media Rooms’ CPD will help you to understand the following topics:
- Understand the difference between a home cinema and a media room and the basic vocabulary used
- Understand how to raise awareness of home cinemas and media rooms, how to help clients choose and specify rooms and raise the standard of the rooms
- Understand all the components that make a good home cinema room and media room
- Understand the design principles of sound and vision
- Understand how to work with a system designer and look at requirements

You can find further details on our website, about this and other CPDs we offer, at the following url: https://t.co/aw79tYUN12

If you would like to book your own dedicated smart home tour/demonstration and smart home related CPD briefing contact us directly on 01664 550 552.

We’re very honoured to announce that we have been shortlisted in the 2025 CEDIA Smart Home Technology Awards as a Finalist in the ‘Technology Beyond the Home’ category (EMEA) for our project ‘College Care Kent’.

This was an exciting project to create a demonstration suite of our ‘Independent Living Smart Spaces’ concept. The demonstration suites showcase the power of combing smart home solutions with an activity monitoring solution to support people to live independently in the places they call home.

We installed the ‘Independent Living Smart Spaces’ demonstration suites, in 6 separate colleges in the Kent region, to help train the next generation of Health and Care sector staff.

We worked with the client to highlight the positive outcomes available, using smart home solutions and activity monitoring, across 3 distinct scenarios:
1. Living at Home with Dementia
2. Residential Care
3. Sheltered Housing

You can learn more about the project on our website: https://t.co/AnIYhFPjjK

Winners to be announced at the 2025 CEDIA Smart Home Awards ceremony on Friday 7th November held at The Londoner Hotel, London…wish us luck!
