Smart Home – The Avenir, Singapore
Condominium | River Valley, Singapore | 2 Adult, 2 Children
In this expansive five-bedroom unit located at the heart of the city, we’ve crafted a space that effortlessly merges modern design with cutting-edge smart technology. The layout of the house, which includes both false ceilings and open spaces, provided the perfect opportunity to showcase the versatility of Aqara lighting systems in every corner. Each room has been thoughtfully designed to offer a harmonious blend of style, functionality, and intelligent control.
Starting with the bedrooms, which lack false ceilings, we opted for a clean, minimalist look with our surface-mounted T1 downlights. Available in both white and black finishes, the homeowners chose the white option to seamlessly integrate with the ceiling, creating a sleek, unobtrusive aesthetic. When lit, the downlights cast subtle shadows on the walls, adding a layer of depth and warmth to the rooms.
In the master bathroom, where a false ceiling was included, we installed recessed T2 downlights. These downlights offer a clean, modern appearance while providing focused, ambient lighting that enhances the spa-like atmosphere of the space.
The living room, another area without a false ceiling, features our H1 magnetic track lights, designed to introduce an industrial flair to the space. The magnetic track system provides the flexibility to interchange and customize light fixtures, offering a unique design element that adapts to the evolving needs of the space. To further enhance the overall lighting scheme, we incorporated floodlights in the center of the room, providing a soft, diffused light that gives an overall luminance. The tiltable grille lights, positioned along the track, are a standout feature, offering the ability to direct light precisely where it’s needed, ensuring the space can be transformed with a simple adjustment.
Beyond lighting, the entire home is equipped with smart motorized curtain tracks, installed in every room, including the living area. Two tracks were placed per room for day and night curtains, each with its own dedicated power point, allowing for effortless control of natural light and privacy.
The homeowners chose champagne-colored H1 switches to complement the white walls, introducing a subtle contrast that enhances the room’s elegance. Beside each switch, a control panel, the S1E, was installed. This intuitive system serves as the central control for all Aqara devices in the home. With a simple touch of a button, the homeowners can adjust the brightness and colour temperature of the lights, close the living room curtains, and even turn on the air conditioning – all at once, creating the perfect ambiance in every room.
To ensure seamless connectivity, multiple M3 hubs have been placed throughout the home. These hubs serve as the backbone of the Aqara ecosystem, not only coordinating all devices but also controlling the air conditioning units in their respective rooms. With this central hub system, the home remains effortlessly connected, offering the homeowners complete control over their environment from anywhere within the house.
This project stands as a testament to the endless possibilities of smart design, where innovative lighting solutions, intuitive automation, and sophisticated style come together to create a truly intelligent living space.
