Introducing the Phillip Jeffries Morning Room by Sara Cosgrove at WOW!house 2026.

Softly layered in muted tones, this analogue sanctuary is designed around the slower rituals of reading, conversation and stillness.

We're proud to be providing the lighting controls that help bring the designer's vision to life. Our system enhances the interplay of colour, texture and materiality, allowing the lacquered Aura mural, woven wallcoverings, tailored upholstery and sculptural furnishings to be experienced exactly as intended.

With intuitive scene-setting and elegant keypads, the ambience can be adjusted effortlessly, creating the perfect backdrop for quiet reflection, meaningful conversation and moments of pause.

A beautiful example of how thoughtful control can quietly elevate exceptional design.

Leaf House was designed to strengthen the connection between home and landscape.

By day, natural light shapes the experience of each space.

By night, carefully considered lighting preserves the same warmth, atmosphere and sense of connection.

Through intelligent lighting control, Rako helped realise the architect's vision, allowing Leaf House to respond seamlessly to the changing light while preserving its warmth, atmosphere and connection to the landscape.

Another sneak peek...

We're delighted to be providing the lighting controls for the Morning Room at WOW!house 2026, designed by Sara Cosgrove Studio & Phillip Jeffries Ltd.

Designed as a quiet sanctuary that gently resists the pace of modern life, the room combines tailored detailing, layered textures and a carefully curated palette to create a calm and inviting atmosphere.

Lighting is fundamental to how the space will be experienced. Rako's lighting controls will allow different lighting scenes to be recalled effortlessly, ensuring the room can adapt throughout the day while enhancing the materials, finishes and mood envisioned by the design team.

We look forward to seeing the completed room unveiled at WOW!house next week at the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour.

The best lighting is barely noticed directly, and that’s the point.

Instead, it changes how a home feels, functions and flows throughout the day.

Well-designed lighting is about far more than brightness alone. Different layers of light, ambient, task and accent lighting, work together to shape atmosphere, comfort and the overall experience of a space.

This is where lighting control becomes important.

Rather than relying on walls crowded with switches, a carefully designed lighting control system allows multiple light sources to respond at the touch of a button, seamlessly adapting to how the room is being used.

The goal of smart lighting control is not to make technology more visible.

It is to create homes that feel calmer, more intuitive and more comfortable to live in.

What role do you think lighting plays in the experience of a space?
