A home with a story unlike any other.
Northmoor Road, Oxford: once home to J.R.R. Tolkien, has been thoughtfully restored and reimagined for modern living.
Our role was to quietly introduce intelligent technology into a property rich with history, ensuring every system works seamlessly behind the scenes, while the character of the home remains untouched.
From a fully integrated KNX system to the UK’s first installation of the Eelectron OL-U switch range, this project blends innovation with heritage. The client even took this a step further, customising the control interfaces with subtle LOTR-inspired icons, creating a truly personal connection to the home’s legacy.
We’re proud to have played a part in its next chapter.
