Conker Corner improved living with Control4
Tucked away on the outskirts of Colne, Lancashire, Conker Corner began as a traditional property with a modest kitchen, separate from its main living and dining areas. Today, after extensive architectural and technological transformation, it has become a modern, open-plan home that supports both relaxed family living and sophisticated entertaining.
Client Vision
The homeowners set out to create a smart, comfortable environment that adapted to daily life while delivering a true “wow” factor for guests.
Our Approach
With expert planning and the integration of best-in-class technologies, GBIS delivered a cohesive system tailored to the family’s lifestyle.
“GBIS provided fully bespoke and personalised systems to suit our daily requirements. From start to finish, the whole team acted in a highly professional and efficient manner.”
— Homeowner, Conker Corner
Smarter Living
At the core of the home’s functionality is a Control4 smart control system, linking lighting, AV, heating, security, and access systems into one intuitive user interface—accessible via mobile devices, wall panels, or handheld remotes.
Key Spaces & Features
Outdoor Cinema Room – Garden Retreat
Housed in a custom-built garden room, this outdoor cinema provides the ultimate escape, featuring weather-protected AV equipment, ambient Rako lighting, and total automation via Control4. With one tap, movie night is ready.
Media Room
A purpose-designed AV zone within the main home, offering premium projection, immersive surround sound, and lighting scenes that adjust automatically, all controlled effortlessly from a Control4 touchscreen or app.
Home Gym
A sleek and contemporary home fitness studio, thoughtfully designed with TechnoGym equipment for an immersive workout experience. The space features integrated distributed audio for motivational soundscapes, intelligent Rako lighting that adapts to your routine and mood, and a refined aesthetic that blends functionality with style, creating the perfect environment for a high-intensity workout or a mindful yoga class.
Rako Lighting Throughout
The entire property is fitted with Rako lighting, fully integrated into the Control4 ecosystem. From soft evening scenes in the living space to energising brightness in the gym, every area benefits from intelligent, mood-based lighting control.
Security & Control
CCTV & Intruder Alarm
The property is secured with a Texecom alarm system and HikVision HD CCTV cameras, offering 24/7 monitoring and remote access for peace of mind.
Automatic Gates
Access to the property is managed via FAAC automated gates—integrated with the wider Control4 system for easy entry, secure delivery handling, and full visibility via intercom and video feeds.
Why It Works
Unified Automation
Control4 brings every element—lighting, AV, heating, and security- into a single, intuitive interface.
Personalised User Experience
Tailored scenes like “Movie Night,” “Workout Mode,” and “Evening Entertain” simplify life while enhancing it.
Future-Proof Design
With Rako’s scalable lighting control and robust infrastructure behind every system, Conker Corner is built for the long term.
Conker Corner now stands as a benchmark for modern living, where design and technology come together beautifully. From the cinematic garden room to secure, intelligent access and ambient whole-home control, every detail has been carefully considered and expertly delivered.
