Gold Standard Design

A modern black cedar home with sweeping views across rural Pukekohe in Auckland makes a striking statement on its hilltop location, and a beautiful interior using stylish Iconic switchgear from Clipsal completes the package. The house, which was designed and built by Brendon Hamill from David Reid Homes Pukekohe and his wife Leonie, uses classic Clipsal Iconic in Vivid White and the darker aluminium finish of Iconic Styl in Silver Shadow throughout. Managing Director Brendon Hamill says the company uses Clipsal products as a key component of all its builds. “The Clipsal range offers the perfect finishing touch for our homes. The styles and finishes available in Iconic, in particular, means clients can have switchgear that complements their interior and the fact it’s future-proofed and offers simple smart home functionality makes it an obvious choice.” Clipsal Iconic has Bluetooth connectivity to provide the benefits of a smart home without the need for any additional wiring and comes in three designs to suit a variety of modern décors: the classic Iconic in four different colours; the linear Iconic Styl in three aluminium finishes; and the Scandi-inspired Iconic Essence in two colours with rounded edges and birch timber detail. The unique Clipsal Iconic base grid is easily installed by an electrician and the interchangeable cover plates can then be clipped on and off, allowing homeowners to swap designs whenever they like. More than just switches Brendon Hamill says clients are often surprised to discover how much Clipsal Iconic’s light switches and power points can add to their day-day life. “They can have plates with USB charging ports to free up sockets, they can add Night Walk sensor lights so no one has to stumble around in the dark, they can schedule heated towel rails to turn on and off to save energy, and even control things like dimmers from their phones without having to get up from the couch.” For Brendon, Iconic Styl is “the most user-friendly and trendy switchgear product on the market today. It adds so much to the ‘liveability’ of a home and is a cost-effective and easy way to make life simpler.” Read the full story here Visit the Clipsal Vision Studio Showroom to experience our electrical solutions like Iconic and smart home automation.
