Creating a Seamless Luxury Living Experience
Smith Construction partnered with Safe N Sound to deliver a high-spec holiday home in Northland with extensive outdoor living areas. The vision was to create a luxurious entertainment experience that blends seamlessly into the property’s architecture while providing robust control and reliable connectivity.
Comprehensive Services Delivered
Audio Upgrade & Addition
We designed and installed a multi-zone Sonos system that extended high-quality sound across both indoor and outdoor areas:
- Outdoor seating areas and decks
- Kitchen and TV room
- Poolside and garden zones
Features:
- Sonos Arc soundbar integrated with the outdoor TV for seamless media playback
- Sonance Mariner 66 weatherproof speakers for reliable outdoor performance
- Episode landscape speakers to extend premium audio into open spaces
- Designer AV cabinet for discreet equipment storage
This system ensures that homeowners can enjoy music, movies, and TV throughout the property, regardless of weather conditions.
Network Upgrade
Reliable connectivity was critical for a modern holiday retreat. We provided:
- A Grandstream Wi-Fi access point, ensuring strong coverage across the outdoor living areas
- Network optimisation for seamless streaming and smart control features
Control System Integration
To elevate convenience and luxury, we installed a Control4 system. This provides a single, user-friendly interface to manage:
- Audio and video
- Networked systems
- Potential extensions such as lighting, access control, or security in the future
This integration allows homeowners to manage their home environment effortlessly all from a centralised hub or mobile device.
Tailored Integration for a Luxury Home
Working closely with architects, builders, interior designers, and project managers, our team ensured every detail aligned with the home’s design aesthetic. TVs and speakers were seamlessly integrated into custom ceilings, tiled walls, and cabinetry, ensuring technology enhanced rather than distracted from the luxury finishes.
