In the historic city of Canterbury, UK, this beautifully renovated home demonstrates how thoughtful design and advanced audio technology can come together to create an exceptional living environment. Originally operating as a bed and breakfast, the property has been transformed into a vibrant private residence by Michael Oh and his wife, Kjerstin Oh, partners at TSP Smart Spaces. The result is a striking home that combines colourful interior design with cutting-edge, invisible ceiling speakers.
Michael brings a deep understanding of smart home integration, thanks to his experience leading a US-based smart home company. This expertise played a key role in shaping the renovation, particularly in the choice of audio solutions. Seeking high-performance sound without compromising the home’s aesthetics, Michael selected Amina Sapphire invisible speakers for both the kitchen and living room areas.
The kitchen features Amina Sapphire speakers seamlessly integrated into the ceiling. Completely invisible once installed and finished, the speakers preserve the clean, colourful design of the space while delivering high-quality music whilst the family are preparing meals. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying everyday activities, the kitchen benefits from an immersive audio experience that enhances the atmosphere without drawing attention to the technology behind it.
In the living room, the use of Amina Sapphire speakers expands beyond music to support a full TV audio setup. Here, the system is configured to create a more cinematic experience, creating grate family movie nights with ease. The very fact that all the speakers in use are invisible allows the room’s interior design to take centre stage, avoiding the clutter of traditional audio equipment while still achieving powerful performance.
Another advantage of the Amina solution was its ease of installation. Michael chose to fit the speakers himself, highlighting the user-friendly design and flexibility of the system. For a professional in the smart home industry, the ability to efficiently install high-quality audio components without complex processes was a significant benefit. This hands-on approach also ensured that the system aligned perfectly with his vision for the space.
The finished result has exceeded expectations. The sound quality throughout the home is described as exceptional, offering both clarity and depth across different use cases. From casual listening in the kitchen to immersive viewing in the living room, the Sapphire range delivers phenomenal audio.
For Michael, the decision to use Amina Sapphire speakers reflects both his professional expertise and personal commitment to quality. The project demonstrates how invisible audio solutions can enhance modern living spaces, delivering outstanding sound while maintaining complete design freedom.
This Canterbury home stands as a compelling example of how innovative technology, when thoughtfully integrated, delivers cutting edge technology without any visible hardware.
