KARAKA HOMESTEAD

Karaka Homestead
The Electrical Brief:

An electrically simple, energy efficient and beautiful home.

Electrical Features:

  • LED lighting installed throughout.
  • A complete LED strip runs unbroken around the lounge to give a soft glow.
  • An additional LED strip on the breakfast bar is subtle in the evening to avoid bright overhead lighting.
  • A fully functional theatre room with projector and inbuilt surround sound also feeds full 1080 HDMI to all TVs.
  • Data wiring connects office and rooms for a central printer.
  • Fountains and pumps maintain the fishpond below the floor in the atrium with subtle lighting highting the plants. Gentle up-lights complete the Japanese feel.
  • Outdoor lighting is complimented by large pots with internal lamps to make them glow at night.
  • Path lighting to a floating pagoda on the lake is completed with fountain, tree and bush lighting.
  • A backup generator is connected by way of a changeover switch.
