Sea Point apartment: lighting, blinds and reliable Wi-Fi
A two-bedroom apartment where the brief was better light in the evening, blinds that handle the afternoon sun, and Wi-Fi that reaches the balcony.
Sample layout — illustrative structure, not a real client project
The challenge
- Sample layout — replace with the real brief. Typically: single overhead light per room on a hard switch, no dimming, and an entertainment area that only worked with lamps.
- Body-corporate rules limiting invasive work, and a fibre router in the entrance cupboard covering roughly half the apartment.
What we designed
- Retrofit dimming behind existing switch plates so no fittings or finishes were replaced.
- Motorised blinds on the west-facing windows with power taken from an existing point.
- A single wall-mounted access point cabled from the fibre cupboard to cover the full apartment including the balcony.
Technology
- In-wall dimming modules
- Motorised roller blinds
- Wi-Fi access point and small switch
- Apple Home as the everyday interface
Automations
- Evening lighting levels following sunset
- Blinds closing against afternoon sun on the west side
- One-press Movie and Good Night scenes
- Pathway light at 10% overnight
Outcome
- Sample layout — real outcomes will be recorded here with the client's permission, including what changed day to day and anything we'd do differently.
