Our client embarked on an ambitious project to build an 8-bay shed on a beachside farm, with the 8th bay serving as a temporary "tiny home" before the main house was constructed. This shed, designed by the architect to resemble a 16-pin IC, reflected the client's connection to the electronics industry. The project presented several challenges, including off-grid living, space constraints, remote site management, and the need for a robust entertainment system, with particular attention to power conservation, therefore, automation was key. The client was also keen to explore full-spectrum and human-centric lighting, making it an integral part of the initial design phase. In the past, we set up a Vantage automation system at the old "Shack" which managed the building's lighting, heating, and AV systems, while also integrating various farm systems, and these needed to connect with the new system at the shed, too. Once again, the Vantage automation system selected for this project effectively addressed all these challenges, delivering a seamless and integrated solution.
