After two decades integrating some of Europe's finest homes across the UK and France, IntelliCasa is now in Geneva. We're collaborating with local electricians and architects who recognise when a project requires not maximum options, but assured outcomes.

Our focus is clear—luxury residential installations where curated excellence matters more than universal flexibility.

The luxury paradox: Less is more

Geneva's smart home market is shaped by KNX, an open protocol with over 500 manufacturers, according to the KNX Association, widely taught and successfully deployed across Switzerland. It is versatile, proven, and deserves its position as the local standard.

But in luxury residences, abundance of choice often creates complexity rather than refinement.

Consider Geneva's haute horlogerie. Patek Philippe does not assemble watches from "compatible" components. Every piece is engineered in-house. Why? Because mastery requires focus. In our view, Luxury technology follows the same principle.

We define true luxury by depth, not breadth. That is why IntelliCasa deliberately advises Crestron and Lutron based systems.

We choose Crestron & Lutron

Crestron delivers what multi-vendor systems cannot: single-source accountability. Cinema, lighting, climate, and security are engineered to function as one. Updates are tested across the ecosystem before release. No bridges, no hidden incompatibilities, no weeks lost in vendor coordination.

Picture entering your residence at dusk. Lighting adjusts to fading natural light, window treatments respond to temperature, your preferred music follows you through the spaces. The system anticipates. The result: faster commissioning, predictable performance, and systems that age gracefully.

Lutron represents something rarer. Founded in 1961, according to company records, they have spent over six decades perfecting one domain: light. Their wireless technology enhances millions of homes with shades, drapes, and lighting, while honouring architectural intent. When a project demands the finest lighting control, Lutron is not merely one option among many: it is the benchmark. Over time, that distinction compounds. Fewer support calls, fewer compromises, and upgrades driven by design and lifestyle, not by failure.

What this means for our local partners

Our arrival in Geneva is not about replacing KNX integrators. It is about specialisation within the luxury tier.

For electricians: Fewer call-backs, faster project delivery, and clients who associate you with high-end expertise. We handle the specialised programming and long-term support, you strengthen your reputation for partnering with the best.
For architects: Crestron and Lutron integrate seamlessly with your design intent, avoiding retrofit clutter or visible compromise. Technology and customisation options complement the environment you have created, never competing with it.
For homeowners and their representatives: Intelligent systems that anticipate needs discreetly, with aftercare and future-proofing assured. Your residence responds to life’s rhythms without demanding attention.

Geneva's standard for curated excellence

From Cologny to Vandœuvres, where Belle Époque proportions meet contemporary living, Geneva's residences deserve more than compatibility experiments. They deserve curated systems that complement architectural vision while delivering absolute reliability.
