Introduction

This four-bedroom self-build in Staffordshire was created with the specific aim of delivering a safe, intuitive living space for a family and their disabled son. With full lighting, heating, access, and sensory-friendly control, Baulogic enabled a future-proof, accessible home tailored to unique personal needs.

The Brief

The client, undertaking a new self-build in rural Staffordshire, approached Baulogic with two primary goals:

  1. To install a smart, modern home control system across heating, lighting, and access
  2. To ensure the property created a safe, calming and empowering environment for their disabled son

The home needed to offer:

  • Intuitive, accessible control for family members
  • Precise environmental management
  • Tailored presets for sensory comfort and safety
  • Reliable installation with minimal build disruption

Our solution

Baulogic worked closely with the family to deliver a completely tailored home control system, designed around the specific and evolving needs of their son.

Key features included:

  • Multi-zone underfloor heating controlled via smart switches with built-in temperature sensors
  • Scheduled and adjustable towel rail control in the wet room
  • Custom lighting presets to avoid sensory overload
  • Access control for door and gate entry
  • Switch-based electricity restrictions for safety in the son’s room
  • Scene-based events, like a 'Welcome' mode to gently illuminate the house before arrival and 'Goodbye' mode for secure departure automation

All of this was made possible using Baulogic’s KNX-based modular system, which arrived preconfigured and ready for quick, tamperproof installation. A regular electrician was able to install and commission the entire system — even with its bespoke complexity, in a matter of hours.

By integrating advanced technology invisibly into the home, Baulogic helped deliver a property that’s not only smart but truly supportive of the family’s life. It enhances independence, improves comfort, and ensures long-term adaptability — all without adding complexity for the user or builder.
