For Architects & General Contractors

A smart-home partner who works to your design intent.

We integrate from the concept stage — so the technology fits your architecture, not the other way around.

Why architects work with us

Specification you can trust. Installation that respects the build.

Most smart-home integrators arrive late — after the millwork is set, the lighting plan is locked, and the wiring routes are fixed. We arrive with the architect, with a curated device palette and a clear integration brief. Your client gets a coherent system. You get one less vendor to project-manage.

What we bring to the project

A defined product palette. A senior engineer. A respect for design.

Curated collection

Switches, thermostats, control panels, intercoms — pre-selected for visual coherence with high-end interiors. Specification sheets and CAD blocks ready to drop into your drawings.

Senior engineering

Our co-founder Ahcen leads every project — 15+ years senior electronic engineering across France and the UAE. KNX-certified. Home Assistant power-user. The brief is technical when it needs to be.

Single point of contact

One number from spec to handover. We coordinate directly with your MEP, lighting designer, AV vendor and millworker. You don't chase three sub-contractors.

Discreet installation

No visible cable runs, no patchwork plates, no "smart home" stickers. The device blends into the wall, the wiring runs in the cleanest path, and we test before you walk the site.

Future-proof topology

KNX or Home Assistant backbone with open standards. Your client can extend, swap, or migrate the system years from now without ripping out cabling.

Documentation handover

As-built schematics, device inventory, network map and a written user guide for the homeowner. The kind of paperwork your client's facility manager will thank you for.

How we work with you

A four-stage process, from concept to handover.

Concept review

We sit with you and the client to understand the architectural intent and lifestyle brief. No quote, no pressure — a 60-minute working session.

Specification

We propose a device palette and integration topology aligned with your finishes, MEP and lighting plan. You receive an editable spec document.

Installation

We coordinate with your site team, install in the cleanest sequence, and commission room by room. Your project manager has one weekly check-in with us.

Handover

Full documentation, on-site walkthrough with the homeowner, and a 12-month support window. We stay reachable for the lifetime of the system.

"obliq specified the lighting control and intercom on a villa we were running tight on millwork. They arrived early, drew before they wired, and left the site cleaner than they found it. Rare." — Architect, Dubai (placeholder, awaiting partner quote)
