Built. Proven. There to be experienced.

A house that began with the lighting plan.

More than 300 luminaires, each individually addressable over DALI, across more than 450 m² of floor area. We calculated every lighting mood as a 3D visualisation before the first cable tray went in: dinner, cooking, the television wall, the stairs, the front door — every scene designed individually and agreed with the client, the media room with a lighting mood of its own. Alongside that, multiroom audio in the living rooms, shading, pool and sauna on the same interface, and a Basalte Adelante at the front door for access. Dominique — Heintzi to all of us — is a Basalte enthusiast through and through: the controls were selected together in the showroom, after which we accompanied shell and fit-out through to commissioning every single luminaire. One of the projects we look back on most fondly.

The world's first Instagram house — made smart by us.

Luxury estate agent Marcel Remus's villa by the Son Vida golf course: his followers voted on the kitchen, the façade and the garden — the technology behind it came from us. Smart lighting concepts in every room, from the retro switch in the tropical bathroom to the exterior lighting: five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, spa, gym and 2,500 m² of grounds, today let as an exclusive holiday residence. Outside, wall washers light the façade, the external stair carries step lighting, and a Gira door station with camera sits at the entrance — operable even when nobody is on the island. We are listed as a partner on villaremus.com.

Together with

A historic building, invisibly modernised.

A complete electrical installation, smart home and smart office under one period roof — and a project where the whole route is visible. First the drawing on site, then the back boxes that have to be in place before the filler goes on, then the rooms: KNX control, an Occhio lighting concept, video entry, shading, multiroom audio and detectors that disappear flush into the period ceiling. In an existing building what is possible later is decided early — what is once plastered over stays that way. From the stairwell with its cascade of luminaires to the meeting room.

Installation

Interior, architecture, technology. One piece.

One of our most complex residential projects — and the house with the most in it. The interior is entirely by Studio ASH, the architecture and construction by Dohmen Architekten; beneath it runs a continuous KNX layer on which practically every trade comes together. Lighting over DALI with its own scenes per room, multiroom audio with bespoke solutions, shading, pool and garden irrigation. Plus energy management, a network that reaches into the garden, and access control via Basalte Adelante — the same language of operation as indoors, only at the front door. Fully integrated, invisibly operated.

Designed by Studio ASH, built by Dohmen Architekten, made smart by smartfabrik, installed by elektrofabrik.

Lighting that only shows what it can do after sunset.

A villa above the hinterland of Felanitx, where the lighting concept continues the architecture: continuous light lines along the natural stone walls, lit planting beds beside the infinity pool, an illuminated external stair between palms. Alongside that a home cinema, sauna and a DoorBird video door station — all on one control system, operable remotely, as a second home requires.

Order that the next person can still make sense of.

An apartment building whose technical room shows what a clean installation looks like: everything labelled, everything in its place, comprehensible even to somebody standing in front of it for the first time. That is precisely what decides whether anyone can still work on it in ten years. Inside, a fingerprint opens the door instead of a key, and at night warm light leads through the corridors without dazzling anyone.

Electrical design for a new build in finca style.

A new build in Mallorcan sandstone with timber beam ceilings and full-height steel and glass elements — traditional outside, entirely current inside. We took on the electrical and smart home design and sized the distribution board, with cable routes that have to be fixed early in a solid natural stone building: what is not laid at shell stage here is never laid at all.

Lighting that leaves the old fabric alone.

A loft conversion with brick walls, roof trusses painted black and steel windows — fabric that tolerates neither suspended ceilings nor banks of switches. So we put the light into continuous coves, warm white for everyday use and colour for scenes, and reduced the controls to a single round surface-mounted switch straight onto the brick. Plus recessed spots in black that disappear into the dark ceiling.

Technology that disappears into the façade.

A house clad in larch, where the technology follows the material rather than the other way round: the video door station recessed flush into the timber façade, presence detectors and exterior lights integrated into the roof soffit, and indoors a KNX room control unit and a flush-mounted access point. None of it imposes itself — which was exactly the point.

Pivot door, pool and louvre blinds on one control level.

A high-end new build with clear-cut architecture — from the entrance with its heavy pivot door to the pool, which is integrated into the home control system. The louvre-blind system moves in scenes tied to daylight rather than fixed schedules; fireplace, lighting and access all come together on the same interface.

Basalte controls in a new-build family home.

From the Sentido switch in bronze to the central touch panel: lighting, climate and scenes throughout the house over the Basalte ecosystem — and next to it, where that makes more sense, a Gira switch in a black frame. This is exactly what manufacturer-independent design is about: every control point gets the device that is right in that place. Alongside that, indirect lighting coves decided at shell stage, precise sensors, and a visualisation that shows the whole of the building services at a glance.

One interface for the whole house.

A modern house with a flat roof, roof terrace and garden pool. It is operated from a wall panel with a room visualisation — dimming, roller shutters and temperature per room — with the video indoor station immediately beside it. In the living area a ring pendant, recessed ceiling spots and a lighting cove work together; in the cloakroom a backlit mirror against a dark wall shows what lighting design does for a small room.

Light where the work happens.

An occupied detached house where the lighting follows how the rooms are used rather than a grid: a linear strip under the shelf of the kitchen niche, an adjustable spot next to the recessed downlight in the bathroom, and switches with lighting and blind symbols and status LEDs. Outside, external venetian blinds complete the shading.

A smart home that can be repeated seven hundred times.

For DORNIEDEN Gruppe we developed a deliberately simple, repeatable smart home solution and fitted it into more than 700 houses. Not a premium bus system but the opposite of our villa projects: app control for indoor climate, roller shutters and exterior lighting, radiator thermostats with displays, access by numeric code. The requirement is a different one — the solution has to work in series, without anybody programming on site.

Installation

Measuring consumption rather than estimating it.

At Polaroid Film GmbH's German production site we set up complete flow measurement with MID-certified sensors and integrated it fully into KNX. Consumption is no longer an annual total but a profile per circuit — the basis on which waste can be found at all. elektrofabrik carried out the work, from cable routing to the distribution board.

Installation

One roof, used twice.

A photovoltaic installation on the flat roofs of a building complex — elevated and ballasted, without penetrating the roof membrane, and with the extensive green roof kept between the module rows. The two only work together if row spacing, loads and maintenance routes are calculated beforehand rather than afterwards.
