Case Studies - Smart homes, home cinema, audio & lighting in Phuket

Featured projects

H3 Digital Demo Cinema – our container-based demo room, 120″ AT screen, Atmos layout, Control4 control.

This home cinema is based in H3 Digitals shipping container office and is used as our demo cinema room.

The acoustics were to be an important part of the design with the home cinema being built within a shipping container. There is a huge 3D wooden skyline diffusor on the rear wall and the side wall features a number of quadratic diffusors..

This home cinema is completely controlled via Control4, one button press on the Neo Remote turns it all on, sets the lighting level, chooses the right sources and HDMI channel another can shut it all down..

The room features 3 motorised leather recliners finished in Italian Leather. These ultra-comfy seats allow the viewers a comfortable seating position and they look awesome.

Villa Vidavi – large villa with THX cinema, whole-home audio, underwater speakers

Our client wanted to build the ultimate luxury residence in the South of Phuket.  The house was to act as a showpiece and used to entertain high profile guests from around the world so entertainment was a priority.

A great home theatre was to be an important focal point of the house. Importantly it had to be easy to use, look and sound fantastic - a full THX surround system gives this cinema real punch.  

Music was required all over the home, in every room, common areas and even underwater. A Nuvo multi room audio system was used to pipe music throughout the villa and to the underwater speaker

The Neighbour – KNX lighting, Sonos zones & Home Cinema

Our client wanted a high tech home that was simple to operate and easy to use and maintain. He wanted a lighting system that didn’t tie him in to a single company or product line, so we went with the KNX system - He has lighting keypads in each area with both mood control and the flexibility to control all of the lights directly.

The music system is a Sonos multi zone audio system with Living/Dining, Outdoor, Bedroom and Gym zones.  The owner can listen to his favourite songs wherever he wants, controlled by his iPhone or iPad.

A full home cinema system was added on at a later stage, featuring 100"Screen, media centre, surround sound and our home theatre seating it really completes the house, the previously unused space becoming one of the favourite areas of the home.

Trisara – multi-level Sonos system, cinema with motorised recliners and one-touch control

Working closely with Fredo Taffin (Ku De Ta) our client envisioned a luxurious and fun Phuket beach side retreat, great for entertaining and parties.

A Sonos music system was key to being able to listen to internet radio from around the world and having individual listening areas for each bedroom. Music can be piped to any individual area of the house or they can all be grouped together in Party mode.

The client was so happy with the villa that it was decided a home theatre would be a welcome addition to make it even more fun. We added a cinema that features a 100" sized Screen fully motorised recliners, surround sound, one of our media centres for HD movies and one-touch remote control.

Layan Hills Estate – multiple villas with KNX, Sonos, cinemas and outdoor audio

This Villa development close to Bangtao Beach and Laguna features some of our lighting control, multi room audio from Sonos and home cinemas.  

We were engaged by most of the individual home owners on the estate. Many wanted to have the latest in multi room audio with a Sonos wireless system to listen to music throughout their home. Spotify was an important component of how some of the the owners listen to music, therefore Sonos was a wise choice for their music systems.  

We also installed lighting control systems, networked media centres and servers and some very cool home theatres into these beautiful villas.

Amanpuri – new installs and retrofit upgrades across villas, audio, cinema and media

This timeless retreat on the west coast of Phuket overlooks lush vegetation and the pristine Andaman Sea.  Interspersed throughout a mature coconut plantation, the Thai-style Pavilions and Villas open onto outdoor sun decks and private dining terraces.

The iconic Amanpuri Villas are set on a headland on Phuket’s fabled west coast, alongside the brand’s flagship beach-side resort. 

We are responsible for installation and maintenance of Sonos multi-room audio systems, home cinema systems, karaoke and media centres in the latest phase of Amanpuri's residential development.

For the earlier Amanpuri villas, some of which were completed 20 years ago, we have retro-fitted current smart home technology including wireless Sonos speakers, Nuvo distributed audio, High Definition media centres and home cinemas. Replacing aged technology such as early flat screen Tv's with the latest Smart and OLED Tv's.

La Colline – private pool villas, Sonos multi-room and dedicated cinemas

La Colline is a private sanctuary of individual private pool villas located in Layan, Billed as the perfect location for families or large groups looking for the ultimate experience on the island of Phuket.  Layan is located on the prestigious North West coast and boasts one of the islands best golden sandy beaches.

Engaged directly by the Villa Developer and then subsequently by individual owners we undertook installs in almost all of the La Colline villas.  Many of the homes opted for the excellent Sonos Multi room Hifi music system.  We also designed several home cinemas for those owners who understood the appeal of having your very own theatre or media room.
