INTELLIGENT SOUND

DEEZER HIFI IS A SMART ADDITION TO A WELL-THOUGHT-OUT HOME, DELIVERING A HIGH-END AUDIO EXPERIENCE ALWAYS

H&G PROMOTIONAL FEATURE

PHOTOGRAPH ANNA STATHAKI FEATURE GINEVRA BENEDETTI DURING the past year, our homes have become so much more than a roof over our heads. They’ve become our sanctuaries, our workspaces and our playgrounds. All this extra time at home has afforded many of us the chance to rediscover music and there’s no better way to do this than with the high-fidelity sound you’ll get with Deezer HiFi.

What is Deezer HiFi?

Deezer’s streaming service has just launched a new, superior music experience that will give your sound devices – whether you tune in via your smartphone, Sonos system, the kids’ Xbox or even a smart speaker – the ability to play an almost endless catalogue of music with ease, all with crystal-clear audio.

How is it different from other services?

Deezer HiFi learns as it plays, adapting and tailoring your options according to your listening habits. Select the Flow feature and you’ll receive a never-ending stream of personalised music, from your all-time favourites to tunes you’ve never heard before. Deezer HiFi is also extremely simple to use – even the most ardent of technophobes will find the interface easy to navigate and use.

What else does Deezer HiFi do?

So much more than just a music streaming service, Deezer HiFi offers a wide range of extra features, too. The Lyrics feature provides you with the means to sing along on your smartphone or TV if you have a Chromecast. If you tend to play music more in the evenings, Dark Mode lets you adjust the brightness of the screen in the evenings to give your eyes a break from the glare. Don’t recognise a song? SongCatcher tells you exactly what it is, saving you the hassle of launching a separate app on your phone to find out.

Any other extra features?

Curated by Deezer’s music editors, HiFi Room is ideal if you want to listen to something a little different. It offers a selection of hand-picked tunes, playlists and albums across every genre, from pop to rock, reggae, hip-hop and more.

So if you’re looking for a hassle-free way to listen to music that doesn’t cut corners on useful functionality or superior audio quality, then why not take Deezer HiFi out for a spin with its three-months free trial. You won’t regret it.

Exposed beams and rafters highlight the beauty of an Oakwrights oak frame

Oakwrights tailors the design of every frame it crafts to its clients’ needs

BESPOKE BEAUTY

A MEASURED BLEND OF STYLE, FORM AND FUNCTION ENSURES THAT EVERY OAKWRIGHTS HOME IS ENTIRELY UNIQUE

IT’S EASY to get swept up in dreams of the ideal home, a picture-book house that’s always warm and inviting, where everything is just the way we like it. At oak frame specialist Oakwrights, the experienced in-house team of architects and designers will listen to your initial ideas, crafting them into a distinctive house that’s perfectly suited to you and your lifestyle.

Every Oakwrights home is bespoke, so the design can be as contemporary or traditional as you choose. If, as a first-time self-builder, you need some inspiration and reassurance, take a look at the Woodhouse, Cottage and Barn ranges comprising oak frame templates. From your initial design concept, through planning permission to construction, every aspect is carefully considered by its teams, with the same level of detail applying to oak frame extensions, outbuildings and garages.

Now more than ever it’s important that we have a care for the environment. Oakwrights’ frames are crafted from green oak, a natural, renewable and sustainable resource with one of the lowest carbon footprints among building materials. Prized for its strength and character, this heritage building material lends itself equally to traditional craftsmanship skills and cutting-edge technology.

Oakwrights has been creating beautifully bespoke oak frames since 1999. Operating nationwide from its offices and workshops in Hereford, the company prides itself on excellence in design, the quality of its oak frames and its professionalism. Homes come in many guises, but when it comes to building with Oakwrights you’ll have absolute confidence that your dream is in safe hands.
