Established in 2018, the Smart Building Awards aim to deliver the most representative, inclusive and up-to-date initiative in the AV/Install world.
A panel of independent judges evaluated the nominees and named Gira/Marquee Home the winners of Best Multi Dwelling Unit category for the luxurious Essoldo House project in London, where Gira products were specified.

Behind the scenes, a user-friendly Gira KNX system works in tandem with the Gira X1 mini server and the Gira S1, remote access module to ensure equally smooth and secure networking and control wherever the homeowner is.
The switches and socket outlets of the Gira E2 design line in stainless steel also match the high-quality elegance of the interior in a special building and all Gira products were installed by specialist system integrator Marquee Home, part of the Gira System Integrator Partner Program.
