Butler Harwell are the lifestyle technology concierge partners for Grand Designs Live, a leading design show in ExCeL London, offering inspiration and expert advice on home development and renovation projects.

We have crafted some beautiful cinemas in private properties that the public never gets to appreciate. At Grand Designs Live we bring the enchantment of ‘home cinema’ to the Grand House to showcase how we can transform shared experiences at home.

THE GRAND HOUSE:

Grand Designs Live has become notorious for the townhouse show home built each year in Excel London, exclusively for the design event. The Grand House is designed to educate and inspire, with beautiful interiors and innovative sustainable living solutions. As the lifestyle technology concierge partners in the Grand House, we showcase the seamless integration of premium technology for enhanced home experiences.

CINEMA ROOM:

At the heart of the Grand House show home, our cinema room collaboration with Cinema Luxe entranced visitors with mesmerising visuals, immersive audio, inviting plush furnishings and enviable interior design. We reviewed guests’ grand designs of all sizes and presented luxury technology enhancements for effortless control, home experiences, improved welfare and sustainable living.

MEDIA WALL:

Media walls are the must-have interior design feature for the modern, versatile take on home cinema, turning everyday rooms into cosy, cinema-style spaces for family moments and movie nights. Our Grand Designs Live ’25 collaboration with luxury carpenters Christopher Leslie Bespoke brings it all together: handcrafted design, immersive Meridian audio, and the option to add the sleek New Forest 1600 electric fire from British Fires for the hottest finishing touch. Style, sound, and atmosphere, wrapped into one beautiful piece of furniture.

LIVE TALKS:

The Butler Harwell team joined property and renovation broadcasters Kunle Barker and Max McMurdo on stage in a series of Live Talks offering professional advice on sustainable living, climate control, lighting design, cinema room design and technology integration. As the Lifestyle Technology Concierge partner for Grand Designs Live, we represented CEDIA, the governing body for the technology industry in a panel discussion with CIOB and RIBA on ‘Developing the Brief’, and recruited our own panel of industry experts to deep-dive into the CEDIA CPD for RIBA and BIID professionals.
