Making homes feel amazing inside through the creative application of technology. Light, temperature, security, entertainment, art and much more, all working together, all controlled from the palm of your hand. For 32 years Ideaworks have been providing bespoke solutions for some of the most amazing homes and yachts in the world. In most cases, they find themselves as the designers for the lighting, window treatment strategy, heating and cooling controls, IT networks, entertainment systems and user interface controls; maybe even some creative lighting installations or digital artworks. In order to deliver such a range of services to client’s and their professional design teams, Ideaworks have grown their business to become Connected Home specialists, with teams of in-house experts who are craftsmen in their individual disciplines. Ideaworks deliver a service which considers everything from the ‘behind the scenes’ of a connected home, through to beautifully crafted curtains, acoustic wall coverings, chandeliers and discreet keypads and controls; all designed to complement the interiors, create atmosphere and enhance the space. Client’s see the benefit of a single, considered approach. With teams across multiple disciplines who are used to coordinating with each other. That familiarity ensures that there are no gaps, no miscommunication, no circles of blame. It is all their responsibility. Ideaworks strive to find balance between the growing need for technology in homes with seamlessness, simplicity and reliability; focused on providing the best user experience and continued Aftercare. Company Founder Kevin Andrews says “Our ambition is to be that one company you can call who can support you. We think of everything because it’s our job to.” www.ideaworks.co.uk
