Arding & Hobbs is a landmark building in Clapham, South London, steeped in local history and emotional significance. Once a beloved department store, the property has now been transformed into a vibrant, multi-use business, leisure and community hub with the help of smart technology, designed and installed by Harlow-based, SCCI, and integrated onto Control4. In this episode, we talk with Richard Reid from SCCI about the project, from the client brief right through to the completed installation. Listen in to find out more. We support Together For Cinema.
