RIBAJ Designing the Smart Home of the Future Conference

Smart homes are no longer a futuristic concept. They are a present-day opportunity. Smart Homes should not feel like showrooms for gadgets – the innovation doesn’t just lie behind the technology. The ingenuity comes from knowing how to integrate smart technology in an approachable, bespoke and design-led way so that it complements lifestyle, architecture and aesthetics.

This briefing explores how architects and Smart Homes professionals can collaborate to create homes that are not only intelligent, but intuitive, beautiful and deeply personal.

Our speakers and panellists will be covering:

• How to embed smart systems into the fabric of a home without compromising charm or character
• Tailoring systems to individual routines, preferences and spatial needs
• Ensuring homeowners feel empowered, not overwhelmed
• Designing with sustainability and adaptability in mind

Our speakers:

• Sam Brunsden, Founding Director, Dyntec, will talk about how to bridge the gap between Smart Home technology and design
• Guy Ailion, Partner, KSR Architects and Interior Design, showcasing IO House
• Charlie Avara, Director, BUILD by Charlie
• Rodrigo Ventour, Director, Edison Projects
• Daryl Friedman, Global President and CEO, CEDIA
• Kevin Wilton, Director, SMC-UK

Chaired by Isabelle Priest, Managing Editor, RIBAJ and Imogen Dent, Design and Build Program Specialist, CEDIA
