ESSENTIAL CASE STUDY: READY CONTROLS
JUNG TAKES CONTROL ON CHELSEA ISLAND Jung products take centre stage at this beautiful, stylish and much sought after development in the heart of one of London’s most fashionable districts. Dan Lawless, Operations Manager at Ready Controls, the installation firm responsible for the automation aspect of the project, desribes the vital role Jung played in creating these most desirable of dwellings. Ready Controls specialises in home automation and controls and for this project, key personnel included Dan as operations manager and his fellow Director, Thomas Alt who was the main programming engineer for the site.
Close to Chelsea Harbour, the apartments have spectacular views of the iconic river Thames and up into central London. Naturally, this swish address needed to have interiors and modern systems to match the exclusive location. The building was designed by internationally famous architects, Arney Fender Katsalidis, making a confident statement with its clean lines and large glass fronts. On the sixth floor there is a garden designed by renowned designer, Neill Strain, which offers a 360° view of the area. Dan further explains, “The Chelsea Island development consists of 89 luxury apartments where we designed and installed a KNX system that controls the apartments’ lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation and blinds.”
The finish of the control units in the project perfectly match the aesthetics of the interiors, adding another level of luxury to each dwelling. Dan explains, “We have worked with Jung products for many years due to their reliability and high level of craftsmanship. However, our relationship really grew on the Chelsea Island project. Here, Jung provided us with vital support that was needed to attain client approval on the project strategy. Jung provided a personable and efficient support system that aids in a project running smoothly and, of course, we were able to use the maker’s attractive and highly reliable products to get the apartments to the level they needed to be at.”
