I'm in the same boat as Kiran doing a complete renovation of a relatively new apartment, not sure if I can upload the before/after pics. Don't wanna jeopardize the thread Wink

6 metres wide and 13.5 metres long externally.

Underfloor heating is now working in the bedroom and living/dining area.

Lutron square see touch keypads need to be fitted. The Grafik eye QS is in. All needs to be programmed.

Ensuite and toilet still need to be done.

At least I can sit on the sofa without shivering...🍺

Out of curiosity, why didn't you go with Crestron for home automation and lights ?

I am deeply concerned by the exterior of your house. If this is truly a B&O home, you must have a big B&O plaque or sign on the outside of the house. You also need the requisite black modern sofa, a coffee machine and wear a suit but no tie.

Great project! Really enjoying this thread as I have been doing a complete home renovation too over the last year. Much smaller scale but great to see so much passion and effort for B&O from a fellow enthusiast of the brand. It'll be fantastic once finished the journey is always so much more interesting I find than the eventual outcome! Hopefully both will bring lots of pleasure. Keep posting :)

B&O products are V1-32, BS2, H95, E8 and an Essence remote.
11-46 now replaced with Sony A90J 65”, Sony HT-A9, Sony UBP-X800M2 and Sony SRS-NS7.

Probably another year for it all to finish 👍🏻👍🏻

Last bi-fold doors are going in for now and then a balcony will be made above the conservatory. I will have have a bi-fold door too for my bedroom on the right but it’s a window right now. Every bi-fold on the first floor will have Juliet balconies apart from the middle one...
