Project Name: Smart-Sink

1. Introduction

The Smart-Sink project aims to create a sleek, modern, and functional kitchen design that integrates advanced features and aesthetics. The focus is on enhancing the kitchen's elegance and usability by incorporating a strategically placed sink and mixer, lighting enhancements, and a bold black splash. This document outlines the requirements, design concepts, and technical specifications to bring this vision to life.

2. System Overview

• LED lighting under wall units and plinths to create depth and ambiance.
• A bold black splash to add contrast and sophistication.
• Ceiling lights for uniform illumination, with optional decorative pendants for added style.

The design will prioritize a minimalist aesthetic, blending functionality with elegance.

6. Signature Design Concept

Interactive Lighting Elegance

The landing impression of the kitchen will feature dynamic lighting effects. The under-unit LED lights will have a subtle fade-in animation when the kitchen is entered, creating a welcoming ambiance.

The black splash will have a glossy finish that reflects the LED lighting, enhancing the sense of depth and sophistication. The ceiling lights will include recessed fixtures with dimming capabilities, allowing users to adjust the brightness to suit their mood.

For added flair, optional pendant lights above the sink or island will feature customizable glass shades that can change color temperature (warm to cool) via a smartphone app.

• The system must use energy-efficient LED lighting.
• Materials for the sink, mixer, and splash must be durable and easy to clean.
• The design must comply with local building codes and safety standards.
• The lighting system must support dimming and smart control options.

8. Tech Stack

Frontend
