Imagine This designs, installs and supports sophisticated home technology for properties throughout Buckinghamshire.
From private estates and listed country houses to contemporary residences and architect-led new builds, every system is individually designed around the property, the wider design vision and the people who will live there.
The technology within a substantial home should not be treated as a collection of unrelated purchases. Lighting, entertainment, networking, heating, security and shading all depend upon shared infrastructure and careful coordination.
Imagine This brings these elements together under one technically accountable team. We consider the complete system from the outset, define the necessary infrastructure and document every detail before installation begins.
This approach creates a more coordinated project and a finished home that feels elegant and intuitive, despite the sophistication operating behind the scenes.
A well-designed smart home should simplify everyday life. Lighting, heating, audio, television, security, entry systems, blinds and curtains can all be brought together within one coherent control experience.
As an experienced Crestron integrator, we create systems tailored to the property and its occupants. Control can be provided through elegant keypads, touchscreens, handheld remotes and mobile devices, with interfaces designed around the way the household lives.
Individual rooms can operate independently, while whole-home scenes allow several systems to respond together. One command might welcome the family home, prepare the house for entertaining, close the property at bedtime or place it into an energy-conscious away mode.
Thoughtful lighting can transform the way a home looks and feels while making it more comfortable and practical to use.
We design and install Lutron lighting control systems that make it easy to create carefully balanced scenes for everyday living, dining, entertaining and relaxation. Discreet keypads replace rows of conventional switches and can be selected to complement surrounding materials and finishes.
Automated schedules and occupancy settings can help manage energy use, while security settings can provide the appearance of occupancy when the property is empty.
Our team can work alongside architects, interior designers and lighting designers to coordinate decorative fittings, architectural lighting, controls and electrical infrastructure.
Imagine This has an international reputation for home cinema design and engineering. Our principal designer, Guy Singleton, is the creator of The Cinema Designer, professional design software used by cinema specialists around the world.
Every cinema is treated as a complete performance environment. We model room geometry, seating positions, viewing angles, acoustic behaviour, loudspeaker placement and system headroom before coordinating projection, lighting, ventilation, interior finishes and control.
Whether you are planning an intimate screening room, an elegant media room or a dedicated high-performance cinema, our team can manage the complete process from initial concept and technical modelling through to installation, calibration and commissioning.
For clients who care deeply about music, we create high-performance audio systems and dedicated listening rooms in which the equipment, room and installation work together.
We consider loudspeaker placement, room acoustics, equipment support, power, network infrastructure and access to physical and streamed music. Systems can be created around an existing collection or designed entirely from the ground up.
High-quality audio can also be integrated discreetly throughout the wider home, allowing music to be enjoyed in individual rooms or across several spaces without compromising the interior design.
Motorised shading can control glare, protect furniture and artwork, improve privacy and help manage solar heat gain.
We design and install premium Lutron and Crestron shading systems, including roller blinds, curtain tracks and specialist solutions for large or unusually shaped windows. A broad selection of sheer, privacy and blackout fabrics allows each treatment to be chosen for both performance and appearance.
Blinds and curtains can operate individually, as part of a wider lighting scene or automatically according to the time of day and the household’s requirements.
A dependable network is fundamental to the operation of a modern home. Entertainment, lighting, communications, security and environmental systems all rely upon robust connectivity.
We design residential networks and Wi-Fi systems to provide reliable coverage throughout the house, grounds and any associated buildings. Our work can also encompass CCTV, access control, video door entry, multi-room audio and video distribution, and integration with heating, ventilation or wider building-management systems.
This is particularly important for larger Buckinghamshire properties, where construction materials, extensive grounds, guest accommodation and outbuildings can place greater demands on the technical infrastructure.
Buckinghamshire contains an exceptional variety of homes, including listed buildings, private estates, rural properties, substantial family homes and ambitious contemporary developments.
Each presents different considerations. A new home allows infrastructure and equipment spaces to be planned from the beginning. A listed or period property may demand a particularly sensitive installation approach, while an established home may require creative retrofit solutions that protect finished interiors and minimise disruption.
Our role is to understand the building and the client’s priorities before recommending the most appropriate technology. We do not impose a standard system or specify features simply for their own sake.
Early collaboration gives technology the best opportunity to become a seamless part of the finished property.
Imagine This works directly with homeowners and alongside architects, interior designers, lighting designers, developers, main contractors and electrical contractors. We can produce detailed technical designs, coordinate cabling and equipment requirements, and ensure that the relevant decisions are made at the correct stage of the programme.
This careful preparation reduces uncertainty on site and allows keypads, screens, loudspeakers, cameras and equipment spaces to be properly incorporated into the architectural and interior design.
We undertake projects throughout Buckinghamshire, including Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross, Marlow, Amersham, the Chalfonts, Chesham, High Wycombe, Aylesbury, Buckingham, Milton Keynes and the surrounding towns, villages and rural areas.
Our services can encompass a single specialist system or the complete technology package for a substantial property. In every case, our approach is founded upon careful design, meticulous installation, thorough commissioning and clear documentation.
Home technology is best understood through experience. Clients are welcome to visit our showroom and experience centre by appointment to explore intelligent lighting, home cinema, high-performance audio and integrated control in carefully designed surroundings.
A private visit provides an opportunity to compare different solutions, discuss materials and finishes, and consider the possibilities for your Buckinghamshire property without pressure or obligation.
Our responsibility continues after installation and handover. Imagine This provides structured aftercare designed to protect the client’s investment and keep the home operating as intended.
Depending on the property and systems installed, support can include remote monitoring, weekday first-line telephone assistance, priority reactive response, planned preventative maintenance and secure disaster-recovery copies of programming and configuration information.
This long-term approach gives clients the reassurance of knowing that their home is supported by an experienced team familiar with both the technology and the original design.
