			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the successful collaboration and delivery of a highly complex penthouse apartment in London, HomeTech was hired by Richard Meier &amp; Partners Architects to provide lighting control, motorized shades, AV integration of conference room TVs and projections systems as well as a custom multi-panel media wall in the lobby.</p>
<p>IMG wanted to have the ability to display content from its various business entities and to showcase its abilities to potential clients.</p>
<p>The result is an attention grabbing flexible media wall system that is easily updated by the IMG marketing department.</p>
<p>The lighting control system had to meet strict energy and performance guidelines as well as a high tech interface. Clipsal was chosen and the Reflection Keypad was installed for the first time in a US project.<br />
Global control touch screens located at each end of the two reception desks allow turning on and off the entire floor with only one command.</p>
<p>Each office features control of the lighting and motorized shades. The system is set to respond automatically to sunlight to operate the shades and lighting if no one is in the office.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2003, the Swiss challenge Alinghi sponsored by Ernesto Bertarelli and representing the Société Nautique de Genève (SNG) beat all her rivals in the Louis Vuitton Cup. SNG staged its 2007 defense of the cup in Valencia, Spain, the first time since the original 1851 Isle of Wight race that the America&#8217;s Cup has been held in Europe, or in a country different from that of the defender. SNG successfully defended the America&#8217;s Cup with a margin of 5-2.</p>
<p>The brief we received from the Yacht Club in Geneva was very straightforward: to illuminate the trophy allowing the fine engraving to be read. The Cup was held in an oblong glass cabinet with a highly reflective bright red metallic background surface; the lighting was quite dull.  We replaced the entire lighting system and used 2 full spectrum fiber optic light engines with 20 focusing lenses to provide even lighting across the entire Cup. The result is stunning.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The owner is a real audiophile and did not want to sacrifice any quality of the sound. The conservation officer would not allow visible ceiling speakers to be installed.</p>
<p>Additionally the owner has a significant art collection and wanted flexibility in the lighting control to allow for many lighting scenes. The Mews library is a show piece of masters’ works and required completely invisible technology so it did not compete with the hand made wood works.</p>
<p>Mews and main house are tied together to allow global control from anywhere in the house.</p>
<ul>
<li> Clipsal lighting control</li>
<li> Clipsal Multi zone Audio</li>
<li> Qsonix music server with remote zone touch screen in Mews</li>
<li> Cinema in Mews</li>
<li> Amina hidden speakers in all listed areas of the house (<a title="Amina information" href="http://www.amina.co.uk/pdfs/casestudies/cheyne_walk.pdf">More »</a>)</li>
<li> Lighting design</li>

		<description><![CDATA[The fit look and finish of the audio-visual systems had to be the very best. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The main salon features a completely hidden Le Wing Screen from Screen Research. This screen is the production version of the prototype developed by HomeTech Europe and Screen Research for another project: a penthouse in Central London. The screen features JBL THX certified speakers behind acoustically transparent fabric. The entire screen is then hidden in the ceiling with a trap door with a tiny 2mm gap.</p>
<p>The project had no clearance in the ceiling to conceal a projector, so the projector was mounted within a wall column on a rotating mount; the mount was then concealed by the owners’ artwork that dropped out of the way via automated lift.</p>
<p>The apartment uses the Homelogic (Elan) system, Lutron lighting control and QED shades.  All accessed via wall mounted and wireless touch panels.</p>
<p>The equipment head end was located in closet on shelves rather than a standard rack system to conserve the valuable floor space.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This privately owned ski chalet is one of the largest new build made by a renowned Swiss architect.]]></description>

<li>Full AMX system controlling EIB lighting</li>
<li>Customized old timber AV furniture to hide multiple screens</li>
<li>Distributed audio and a full THX-cinema</li>
