Modern technology adds comfort to historical London apartments

Connaught place 5 + 6 at Hyde Park

Five and Six Connaught Place demonstrate luxury living in the absolute heart of London: Hyde Park. It combines the delicate architecture of a 19th century building with a seamlessly designed automation system, enhancing the living experience for residents along with energy saving benefits. In only 3 years, Red Row London restored these prime properties to their former splendour, combining the finest materials with the latest in technology.

The interiors of the 7 luxury apartments were designed by 1508 London, featuring the finest Italian marble, stone and wood finishes with ceilings over 4 metres. Appliances were used from leading luxury brands, accompanied by custom designed joinery and bespoke wall finishes. The results are classic yet timeless interiors, demonstrating the finest in interior design.

The Harris Grant Group leveraged the power, simplicity and scalability of the KNX home automation system to create a versatile, freely expandable solution. The apartments are wired for sound, vision, internet, telephony, building access and environmental control, offering a state of the art multi dwelling development.

Multi-touch switches by Basalte especially catch the eye with their beautiful, understated design in high-grade bronze. Additionally, Basalte’s Sentido & Deseo switches offer fingertip controls for mood lighting in each room, along with direct underfloor and HVAC heating control.

To top it all off, the apartments all offer complete audio and video installations. If an Owner requires changes to the installation, functions can be immediately re-configured remotely.

Combining delicate, historical architecture with this seamlessly designed automation system is all it takes to offer every resident the ultimate comfort you would expect in such a unique home.
