Client: OpenHome
Sector: Consumer electronics

The engagement

An open platform, with the engineering sealed inside.

For a developer-first AI speaker, everything technical lives in NUCLEUS, a universal sealed core carrying all electronics and acoustics.

01The challenge

Let the community design its own housings without ever touching the engineering.

02What we did

Set the hardware design direction and platform architecture, and developed three housings on one core (PIXEL, TITAN and LEGACY), with materials spanning translucent polymer, machined steel and solid wood.

03What was delivered

Hardware design direction, platform architecture, three housings, CMF
