In close collaboration with the Client and design team, the innovative smart home by SMC delivers a family home filled with surprising lighting elements to reflect the families personality and playfulness, whilst also responding to the open plan architecture and extension of the living space into the courtyards and landscaped gardens. Unexpected lighting elements, such as backlit onyx walls, and a twinkly green wall are all programmable from an app, allowing the family to create personalised patterns and flashing light sequences.
