Project: the Professor’s house
Happy wife, happy life
Twelve cameras, an alarm system and Z-Wave home automation. The equipment went into the linen cupboard, on two conditions.

The brief
“My wife does not want to waste towel space, and please no power points in the cupboard because of small children.”
What went in


Behind the cupboard door
“Does not want to waste towel space”
The shelf is still a shelf
The cabinet sits at the back of one shelf, against the wall. Everything in front of it is free.
“No power points in the cupboard because of small children”
Nothing for small hands
The cupboard has no power point, as asked. The equipment sits inside a closed cabinet with its own lock.
Locks, air conditioning and lights run over Z-Wave, a wireless standard for home automation. They were part of the same job as the cameras and the alarm.
