Working With Us
Independent technology design and consultancy to deliver homes that are enjoyable, simpler to use, better integrated, and designed properly from the start.
Home Owners
Building, renovating, or enhancing your home often involves dozens of decisions that you have never had to consider before. Questions around Wi-Fi performance, lighting control, security, home automation, audio-visual systems, and future expansion can quickly become overwhelming, especially when advice comes from multiple suppliers with competing priorities.
AKC Design Studio provides independent guidance to help you make informed decisions with confidence. Whether you are upgrading an existing property, extending your home, or building from the ground up, we help you make the right decisions from the very beginning. From reliable Wi-Fi and home entertainment upgrades to a fully integrated smart home, we help you plan a solution that genuinely enhances everyday living.
Our focus is on creating a clear, coordinated plan that supports your home, your budget, and your expectations, helping you avoid costly mistakes or compromises later on. Once decisions have been made, we'll advise on the best procurement process, whether that's from high-street and online retailers, or specialist integrators with a proven track record.

Design professionals
Modern residential projects increasingly depend on well-coordinated technology solutions, yet these elements are often introduced too late in the design process, or lack the required expertise to ensure the specification meets the client's brief, or the intended lifestyle and operational needs of the property.
AKC Design Studio works collaboratively with design professionals to ensure technology integrates cleanly with the wider vision for the property. Careful early-stage planning helps protect ceiling details, setting-out, joinery, lighting schemes, equipment locations, and overall usability, while helping reduce conflicts during construction.
The goal is not to overcomplicate projects with unnecessary technology, but to ensure systems are considered properly, documented clearly, and aligned with the architectural intent.

For projects without a technology consultant, AKC Design Studio provides the guidance, documentation, and technical expertise to confidently prepare a build for modern living. From practical, future-ready wiring infrastructure to full smart home solutions, we help builders and developers specify reliable, easy-to-source solutions that add genuine value to the build without unnecessary complexity.
Whether you're delivering a bespoke home for a private client or building a development intended for sale, we can advise on everything from broadband, Wi-Fi and networking, to lighting control, smart heating control, entertainment, access and entry, and security. The result is a property that feels considered, modern, and ready for the use, without the need to engage specialist integrators before construction.

This allows electrical contractors to deliver projects with a higher level of technology integration while maintaining clarity, organisation, and practical implementation on site. Whether supporting a single smart lighting system or a fully connected home infrastructure, we help bridge the gap between electrical installation and modern home technology.
