If you are going to trust an adviser with your home, you are entitled to ask what that adviser runs in his own. Our answer stands in Sint Pancras: our own family house, converted step by step into a full living laboratory. Not a showroom with perfect arrangements, but a family home where everything genuinely has to work. Every single day.
A selection of what the house manages on its own, and therefore of what you can expect when we set to work for you.
Fifty-seven light points arranged into scenes per room and per moment. Motion and presence sensors on the stairs, in the hallways and in the bathrooms: light where you are, darkness where you are not, and dimmed at night instead of blinding.
The boiler is controlled through an open interface, the ventilation runs cycles based on CO₂ and humidity, and as soon as particulate matter crosses a threshold, air purification switches on by itself. Fresh air here is not a feeling but a measurement.
Leak sensors at the washing machine, the bathrooms, the meter cupboard and the shed. One drop in the wrong place triggers a notification, and the main valve can close automatically. Small sensor, enormous difference.
A smart energy meter measures what actually happens, per circuit. Consumption history per zone and per appliance, logged and visualised: the foundation under any sensible energy advice.
Four cameras around and inside the house, with footage that stays local. Door and window sensors, presence simulation while we are away, and notifications that go to us alone, not to a server on the other side of the world.
The washing machine reports when it is done. The robot vacuum knows the family's schedule. The awning retracts itself in strong wind. Dozens of small automations you cannot imagine living without after a week.
Everything we would install in your home has first run here for months, with a family that must not notice it at all. That is a stricter test than any laboratory. Why a lab home
The Lab Home is our family home, so we receive visitors by appointment only, after a first introduction. You will not find a demo rack, but technology as it should be: invisible, silent and self-evident.
