OUR WORK

Concealed installs, up close

Slimline slot diffusers and bulkhead ducted systems across Melbourne homes — including heritage rooms where the diffuser sits flush with original cornice work. No wall units, no bulk, nothing to distract from the architecture.

You’ve chosen the architect, the builder and the finishes. Hold the air conditioning to the same standard.

Most installers quote off a photo and fit a standard head unit. We design the system into the building — concealed plant, architectural outlets and a documented engineering approach that belongs in a considered home.

    FAQ

    Concealed air conditioning, answered

    Yes. Slimline and bulkhead ducted units are engineered for tight roof and ceiling cavities where standard ducted plant won’t fit. Where the roof space is truly minimal, we design bulkheads or slim-profile fan coils into the architecture so the system stays completely concealed.

    Heritage homes need a design-first approach: concealed condensers hidden from the street and facade, slimline ducting routed through existing cavities, and linear diffusers that respect period ceilings. We document the design before any work begins.

    Condenser placement is part of the design. We position and, where needed, acoustically treat the outdoor unit so it meets noise limits near bedrooms and property boundaries — a common constraint on tight premium blocks.

    Yes. Per-room zoning via AirTouch or brand-native controllers lets each room set its own temperature and schedule, improving comfort and running costs across a large home.

    Premium concealed systems vary widely with home size, zoning and architectural constraints — typically a considered investment rather than an off-the-shelf install. We provide a documented design and fixed proposal after a design consultation.
