​The brief

​

The client was renovating a private residence in Streatham, South London, and wanted the home technology to be planned properly from the start. The project needed to integrate lighting, window treatments, Wi-Fi, CCTV, access control, AV wiring, Sonos audio, and garden entertainment into a single, coordinated installation.

The aim was to create a home that felt refined and easy to use day-to-day, while ensuring the underlying cabling, network, and control systems were robust enough to support modern connected living.

​

The solution

​

ECSAV designed and specified a complete home technology package covering both the visible finishes and the hidden infrastructure.

The lighting design included a large number of high-CRI trimless recessed downlights, snoot downlights and LED strip lighting, supported by dedicated lighting design and drawings. The proposed lighting package included 75 trimless 10W 3000K 97CRI downlights, 7 trimless snoot downlights, 22 trimless 7W downlights and 14 metres of LED strip in aluminium profile with diffusers.

To make the lighting simple to control, ECSAV specified a Lutron RA3 system, including RA3 processors, hybrid dimmer keypads in a metal finish, in-line trailing-edge dimmers, Pico controls, an occupancy sensor, and Lutron programming.

The scheme also included Lutron Sivoia QS Palladiom wire-free roller blinds for the kitchen and dressing room, with different fabric choices to meet privacy, daylight control, and blackout requirements.

​

Infrastructure and wiring

​

A key part of the project was making sure the wiring was in place before final finishes. ECSAV specified smart TV outlets, Sonos player outlets, Wi-Fi outlets and network points across the living room, kitchen/dining area, utility, master bedroom, snug, dressing room and loft.

External infrastructure was also included, with network outlets for the heat pump and solar, an external Wi-Fi outlet, eight external speaker points and incoming ISP works. The garden room was connected back to the main house with a steel-wired armoured CAT6 feed, along with its own smart TV outlet, six network outlets and a Wi-Fi outlet.

This meant the property was not just fitted with devices but also prepared with the right infrastructure to support reliable performance throughout the house, garden and outbuilding.

​

Network, CCTV and access control

​

For the network and security system, ECSAV specified a UniFi-based package covering Wi-Fi, switching, CCTV recording and access control.

The hardware proposal included UniFi AI Turret cameras, a UniFi AI Pro camera with AI Enhancer, a G4 Doorbell Pro PoE kit, U7 Pro XG access points, a U7 Pro Outdoor access point, a Dream Machine Pro, a 16TB hard drive, Pro 24 PoE switches, a Pro 24 switch, rack hardware, cabling and commissioning.

This gave the property a professional-grade network foundation, with strong Wi-Fi coverage, PoE switching, local CCTV storage, and smart access control, all planned as a single system.

​

Audio and garden entertainment

​

ECSAV also specified audio for both indoor and outdoor use.

For the garden, the proposal included two Sonance Patio 4.1 systems with DSP 2-150 MKIII amplifiers, ground stakes, IP68-rated cable jointing boxes, outdoor speaker cable and commissioning.

For internal music, the Sonos package included an Era 300 immersive music set, an Era 100 two-room set, wall mounts, two Sonos Ports and setup of the Sonos players.

The result was a flexible audio system that covered everyday indoor listening and higher-performance outdoor music in the garden.

​

The result

​

The Streatham project demonstrates ECSAV’s ability to deliver a complete technology package for a modern residential renovation.

Rather than treating lighting, Wi-Fi, CCTV, blinds, and audio as separate systems, ECSAV planned them as a single coordinated installation. The result was a home with elegant lighting control, automated blinds, reliable network infrastructure, integrated security, multi-room audio and garden entertainment — all supported by structured cabling, drawings, programming and commissioning.

The homeowner gained a property that is easier to live in, better connected and ready for future upgrades.
