In the last hundred years, the workers’ terraced houses of Fulham have seen a dramatic change. The phenomenal rise in property prices took off in the 1980’s. Today, the area which includes the Hurlingham Club ranks amongst the most sought after in London.

Sound, vision and personal choice
Emerging technologies, new materials and inspired design have transformed the modest dwellings into spacious family homes. And the pace of progress continues. A stone’s throw from Parsons Green one such “dwelling” has been given the full makeover. Whilst retaining the old façade, the house has been virtually rebuilt to provide 5,000 square feet of living space. The ground beneath the house and its gardens has been dug out to provide a home cinema and playroom with a 55-inch plasma screen. Additional bedrooms have been added and the ground floor opened up. A multi-room audio system has been installed with each room being able to control its own choice of entertainment – DAB radio, music library, television and i-Pod docking station.

The en suite bathroom in the master bedroom has is own Aquavision TV waterproof and steam resistant screen with its own Sky Box.

Planning, specifying and system integrating
SK Vision was brought in by the architects at the planning stage so that the home entertainment system could be specified and incorporated into the overall plans for the house. As the building progressed, the miles of specialist cables were installed whilst television screens, discreet speakers and touch screen controls were built into the fabric of the house. A special “rack room” was built to accommodate the media servers and amplifiers, the core of the nerve centre of entertainment system. The cinema/playroom was also built around a dropdown screen and projector controlled by a touch panel at the door.

Once all the elements were installed, SK Vision was responsible for the integration of the entire system, testing and ensuring the controls were child’s play in the hands of the new owners.
