From expressive colour to a gentle 5% glow after midnight, House of Hues uses Casambi wireless control to make lighting feel personal to the way the home is lived in. Integrated scenes, daylight sensing, and flexible control allow the atmosphere to shift naturally throughout the day.
At House of Hues, lighting is part of how the home is experienced from one space to the next. Instead of approaching each room on its own, the design uses light to create connections throughout the house, bringing warmth, colour, and atmosphere into everyday living.
The double-height living area was one of the most interesting spaces to work with. Its scale called for something that could fill the vertical space without taking away from its openness. Sculptural IKEA pendants were modified and paired together, creating a strong feature overhead while making the room below feel more intimate. The same idea carries into the kitchen, helping connect the different areas of the home visually.
The ceiling adds another dimension. Cove and architectural lighting can shift from warm, neutral tones to more expressive colours, giving the homeowners the freedom to change the mood depending on the time of day, the occasion, or simply how they want the home to feel.
The entire house runs on Casambi, bringing track lights, pendants, cove lighting, and architectural fixtures together within one wireless network. CBU-PWM4, CBU-TED, and Versaan Unity S1 controllers are used throughout, while many of the track lights have Casambi built directly into the luminaires. This makes it easy to adjust and fine-tune the lighting without adding unnecessary complexity to the interiors.
Some of the cleverest details happen quietly in the background. In the bathroom and yard, daylight sensors check how much natural light is available before switching the lights on. If there is already enough daylight, they simply stay off. After midnight, detected movement brings the lighting up to just 5%, giving the homeowners enough light to find their way without being greeted by full brightness.
It’s these small details that make the lighting feel natural to live with. There is less need to think about switches or settings because much of it simply responds to the time of day, available daylight, and how the home is being used.
From colourful evenings beneath the double-height ceiling to a quiet walk through the house after midnight, the lighting follows the rhythm of everyday life. Sometimes expressive, sometimes barely noticeable, it gives the homeowners the freedom to make the space feel exactly right for the moment.
