Where the<br />

lives<br />

Five years ago Caroline and Michael built the ho<strong>us</strong>e of their<br />

dreams. Being a qualified architect, Caroline naturally designed<br />

the ho<strong>us</strong>e herself. The purpose was to create a home<br />

that combines functionality and aesthetics. Both Caroline,<br />

Michael and their daughter Julie were involved throughout<br />

the planning and building process and nothing was left to<br />

chance. The result is a beautiful and very personal ho<strong>us</strong>e,<br />

which is full of life. The style is inspired by famo<strong>us</strong> modernist<br />

architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Carlo Scarpa,<br />

combined with more contemporary elements; for instance,<br />

the slightly slanted front of the roof construction.<br />

Once inside, <strong>you</strong> quickly discover that the ho<strong>us</strong>e is something<br />

special. The flat screen televisions, amplifiers, loudspeakers,<br />

etc., are all interconnected by a JamoLink system.<br />

Via control panels the system allows Caroline and Michael<br />

to enjoy maximum comfort and a range of choices every<br />

day. Additionally, the ho<strong>us</strong>e is equipped almost excl<strong>us</strong>ively<br />

with the latest built-in loudspeakers and only the very best<br />

floor-standing loudspeakers.<br />

A joy to eyes and ears<br />

Ever since the couple set up home together in 1989,<br />

Michael’s loudspeakers have been the ca<strong>us</strong>e of many a<br />

disc<strong>us</strong>sion. “I’ve always been a bit of a hi-fi enth<strong>us</strong>iast and<br />

good sound has always been very important to me. The<br />

sound from my old Jamo loudspeakers was sublime, but<br />

they took up quite a bit of space,” explains Michael. “As an<br />

architect it is important to me, that my living room looks<br />

like a living room and not like a recording studio,” Caroline<br />

interrupts, smiling.<br />

When the couple moved into their new ho<strong>us</strong>e, Michael<br />

therefore had to say goodbye to his old loudspeakers.<br />

Caroline didn´t want the speakers in their new home, since<br />

they didn’t fit the design concept. “No doubt, <strong>you</strong>r old<br />

Jamo speakers did a great job with their rich and powerful<br />

sound. Therefore, it was quite a challenge for me to come<br />

up with a serio<strong>us</strong> alternative” she explains. But after surfing<br />

the Internet and visiting the local Jamo installer, she came<br />

up with an alternative which was a true integrated fullho<strong>us</strong>e<br />

solution combining in-wall, in-ceiling and standalone<br />

speakers with a JamoLink system.
