The David Reid showhome in Hanley’s Farm is one of the company’s latest projects, where Schneider Electric’s products have helped to create a spectacular home that makes smart living simple.

The new four-bedroom house enjoys mountain views and its distinctive design echoes the alpine surrounds, with a stone exterior and use of bagged schist and timber detailing inside. Created for today’s modern lifestyle, it includes extensive interior and landscape feature lighting, a wine cellar, indoor and outdoor fireplaces and a hot tub.
