Queen’s Park Residences: Luxgrove Homes and Avande Select partner to deliver tailormade smart homes

Luxgrove Homes have partnered with the Avande Select Portal to offer cutting edge technology for Queen’s Park Residences’ stylish and desirable new homes. Luxgrove Homes market a desirable range of high-quality residential new build properties and expert conversions in sort-after locations in London and the south-east. Luxgrove Homes focus on high-quality design, inspiring architecture, cutting edge design and pioneering thinking for all their projects.

Comprising of nine homes, six luxury apartments and three spacious family houses in a contemporary and elegantly designed building, Queen’s Park Residences underlines how classic effortless style can be wedded with smart home automation and entertainment systems. Luxgrove Homes chose the Avande Select Portal to allow homeowners to create entertainment and smart home functionality tailored to their needs.

The Avande Select Portal created specifically for this development delivers a friction free and easy to use upgrade path to fully smart homes for homeowners or tenants alike. The systems can be retro-fitted, upgraded or removed at any point in the life of the property.

William McKenna, Co-Founder of Luxgrove Capital Partners explains

“It is always a challenge knowing what additions and specifications to offer on a high-quality new build property. The Avande Select Portal is a strong option for us as it allows our buyers to select the options that suit their lifestyle and deal directly with the experts that will be installing and supporting the systems.”

Open new doors with the Avande Select Portal

With access to the online Avande Select Portal using a unique code, residents can explore a range of systems designed specifically for the needs of their apartment or house. The whole process is carried out as a transaction between Avande and the homeowner with no need for the developer to be involved.

Everything is fitted and supported by our expert team of engineers with minimum fuss and zero aesthetic impact on each home. All the systems are designed so that they can be fitted just before residents move in or at any time afterwards.

Multi-room audio as well as a home cinema experience for the living room are included in the audio options. For extra comfort, precise zonal control can be created via an enhanced heating package which offers exacting control of the homes’ environment.

Smart home lighting is a further option allowing homeowners to set the right mood for any occasion with controllable colours and light levels. They also have access to automated scenes such as ‘welcome home’ or ‘bedtime’. Users benefit from greater energy efficiency with lighting that turns itself off if not in use. This is also true of the heating systems, delivering cost savings and energy efficiency.

Controlling sunlight is also important and all the properties benefit from a specially curated set of automated blinds in a range of attractive finishes and colours. If homeowners want to choose a fabric of their own, they can use the Avande Select Portal to access a range of further options.

Created in partnership with boutique designers Ademchic, the three unique houses also boast curated interiors incorporating UK made shaker style kitchens, skilfully designed lighting and luxury bathrooms and bedrooms. The apartments are finished to the same standard with curated interiors, UK created shaker kitchens, attractive lighting and luxury bathrooms and bedrooms.

Success from the start

The appeal of this development has already been confirmed as all the houses and apartments are now sold.

Currently the project also boasts a strong conversion rate with 45% of occupants taking some form of smart home functionality with plenty of good conversations on-going.

Choices include enhanced security with CCTV systems and intruder alarm additions and extra environmental control with precise heating. Additions to the pre-existing day one Lutron lighting control systems in all the properties, include attractive Lutron automated blinds providing exacting control of natural light.
