Our brief
Like most of us, the owner of this new build was not very tech-savvy but wanted his family to enjoy a modern new-build home with all the technology that will simplify the way it works.
The family’s teenagers also had significant input on how they wanted the house to work for them.
Tas Kyriacou, IDS Director, explains, “The home was essentially designed to cater to the family. They’ve got teenage children for which they wanted entertainment spaces, so they can have friends around and enjoy time at home.”
“We didn’t face specific challenges as such. But we needed to get as much information for the brief as possible to understand how they wanted the house to work for them. Sometimes, this can present a challenge if the client doesn’t understand the technology behind the request. Our job is to understand the benefits they want and match them to the technology, which involves spending a lot of time with all parties to gain a rich understanding of what they want to achieve.”
