Crestron Audio Visual Installation — Primrose Hill, London

A Four-Floor Townhouse, One Crestron Interface

This townhouse on one of Primrose Hill’s most desirable streets benefits from a full Crestron multi-room audio video system spanning all four floors. All video zones can access centralised Virgin Media TiVo and Apple TVs. Audio zones draw from an Autonomic MMS digital media server providing internet radio, Spotify and the client’s music collection. The international client particularly values the ability to stream local radio from the US and Australia alongside UK stations — a genuinely useful detail for a family with connections spanning three continents. One button press joins the master bedroom suite or the open-plan family room, dining room and kitchen together — allowing clients to move freely without missing a moment of their content. This is high end home entertainment at its best.

Living Room Home Cinema

The formal living room has a retractable projector screen that drops from the ceiling when required and retracts when the system is off. The SIM2 projector is housed on a custom shelving unit designed and built by our in-house carpenters. Origin Acoustics in-ceiling speakers paired with a Denon AVR provide a high-quality audio track for centralised TV sources, a local Blu-ray player and a turntable. Lighting control via a Lutron Grafik Eye mood lighting system is integrated into the same Crestron iPad interface.

Family Living Room and Kitchen Zones

The family living room on the lower ground floor has a 55″ Samsung TV with 10″ Origin Acoustics in-ceiling speakers — large enough drivers to deliver real low-end bass without a subwoofer, keeping the installation completely clean. The open-plan kitchen and dining areas join seamlessly with the family room via room-grouping. A wall-mounted kitchen TV shows the same sources with stereo Origin Acoustics ceiling speakers.

WiFi and Intercom

A Pakedge Wireless LAN controller and access points throughout the property provide fast, reliable WiFi optimised for a family with multiple devices streaming simultaneously. A BPT colour LCD intercom panel on every floor provides two-way communication with the front door video entry system.

Primrose Hill — North London at Its Best

Primrose Hill townhouses typically have three or four floors with distinct living zones across each level. The Crestron system installed here manages all of them from a single iPad interface — cinema in the formal living room, family TV on the lower ground floor, music flowing through every space — and allows them to operate independently or together at a single button press.

Frequently Asked Questions — Primrose Hill Townhouse

Can Crestron manage multiple floors of a London townhouse from one interface?
Yes. This four-floor Primrose Hill townhouse is managed entirely from a single Crestron iPad interface — audio, video, lighting and intercom across every floor, with rooms joinable or independent at a single button press.

Can a Crestron system stream international radio stations?
Yes. This installation uses an Autonomic MMS digital media server providing Spotify, the client’s own music collection and internet radio — including stations from the US and Australia for an internationally connected family, alongside UK stations.

Can a living room have a retractable cinema screen?
Yes. The formal living room in this property has a motorised projector screen that drops from the ceiling on demand and retracts fully when not in use, paired with a SIM2 projector and Origin Acoustics in-ceiling speakers.
