Project Story

257 Apartments. One KNX
Control Concept.

Paddington Gardens is a high-specification residential development near Marylebone in West London. The automation concept gives residents simple, intuitive control of lighting, motorized blinds, underfloor heating, fan-coil cooling, and MVHR ventilation — all through KNX infrastructure, Zennio Z41 local touchscreens, and cloud-based app control. Smart Building Solutions provided consulting, system design, and product specification to ensure every apartment in this large-scale development was delivered to a consistent standard: elegant in use, efficient in operation, and built on an open KNX platform that protects the investment long-term.

Across 257 luxury apartments in three blocks, every home
was delivered with unified KNX control for lighting, blinds,
heating, cooling, and ventilation.

What Was Integrated

Phase-Dimmed Lighting

Residents move in with lighting, heating, and ventilation already integrated and ready to use — no retrofit, no compromise.

Switched-Dimmed Lighting
Switched dimming control for circuits requiring load-specific compatibility, ensuring consistent lighting performance across all apartment types.
Motorized Blind Control
Automated blind control connected to lighting scenes and time-based schedules, supporting privacy, solar management, and resident comfort.
Underfloor Heating Control
Zone-by-zone underfloor heating managed through KNX, with scheduled and manual modes available from the touchscreen or app.
Fan-Coil Cooling Control
JUNG LS990 stainless steel finishes and the Zennio Z41 touchscreen ensure the technology enhances the interior rather than distracting from it.
MVHR Ventilation Control
Built on KNX the estate's infrastructure is serviceable, expandable, and compatible with future technology without full system replacement.
Vaillant Boiler Integration
Residents move in with lighting, heating, and ventilation already integrated and ready to use — no retrofit, no compromise.
Zennio Z41 & Cloud App
In-wall Zennio Z41 touchscreen and cloud app providing residents with one clean interface for all home systems — local or remote.
Why Open Standards

Challenge, Solution
and Result

Challenge

Deliver a consistent, high-specification automation system across 51 individual townhouses and apartments, each requiring integrated control of lighting, heating, and ventilation without compromising on design quality or flexibility.

Solution

A KNX-based system was specified for every home, using JUNG LS990 F50 stainless steel keypads and Zennio Z41 touchscreen controllers. Lighting, underfloor heating, MVHR ventilation, and Vaillant boiler integration were all connected through one open-standard platform.

Result

Every residence in the development was delivered to the same specification — elegant control interfaces, integrated climate management, and a cloud app for remote access. Residents experience genuine comfort from day one, with a system that is easy to use and simple to expand.

The Result

What the System Delivered

Consistent Across 51 Homes

Every townhouse and apartment in the estate was delivered to the same KNX specification — same quality, same experience, same open platform.

Comfort from Day One

Residents move in with lighting, heating, and ventilation already integrated and ready to use — no retrofit, no compromise.

Elegant Interfaces Throughout

JUNG LS990 stainless steel finishes and the Zennio Z41 touchscreen ensure the technology enhances the interior rather than distracting from it.

Open for the Future

Built on KNX the estate's infrastructure
is serviceable, expandable, and
compatible with future technology
without full system replacement.
