Building the smart homes of tomorrow

Inside a builder and interior designer’s own home
Electric home design adds comfort and convenience to everyday living in this modern home. Builder Troy Klemm and interior designer Carmel Siciliano-Klemm from boutique building company, Klemm Homes pride themselves on building luxurious new homes in Adelaide with careful attention to detail: from the construction materials chosen through to the perfect light switches.
Starting with electric home design
The conversation around electric home design starts from the first meeting with clients. “We love to show off our automation solutions so our clients know exactly what they could have in their own house,” says Troy.
“Wiser is a scalable smart home solution that can start from one switch, right through to your whole house being automated."
Clipsal Wiser Smart Home can link to a range of features such as indoor and outdoor lighting, blinds, alarms, sound systems, garage doors and even heated towel rails, and give you control of them through the user-friendly smartphone app.
Stylish and smart
From Carmel’s perspective, electric home design plays an important role in the interior styling and can enhance the experience of a space in subtle ways.
“A home is not just a house with downlights. We look at vanities that are lit, handrails that are lit, bulkheads that are lit, and lights that turn on and off at different times as you walk up and down a staircase.”
