AS HOMES GET A TECH SAVVY MAKEOVER, IT IS ALL ABOUT INTERCONNECTING DEVICES AND FUNCTIONS TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE SPACE.

A SMART CHOICE

Home Automation is currently witnessing amazing growth with constant innovation in all areas. From cleaning robots, hubs, security systems, door locks, video door locks, and motion sensors, the way home of the future will look has changed forever.

DESIGN ETHOS

Smart products should complement and support interior design instead of getting in the way. “Automation and smart products help the functional, operational as well as aesthetic aspects. Imagine seeing 25 switches on the beautiful living room panel and replacing the same with a single phone operated panel creating several lighting moods, daylight saving, and energy-efficient planning. An intelligently designed home theatre, lighting, and audio system can manage the vibe effortlessly when socializing,” says Shilpa Jain Balvally, Principal Architect, Studio Osmosis. “An intelligently designed home theatre and audio system can make managing your movie and music collection effortless when entertaining guests. Ultimately, connecting your appliances and other systems with automation technology will improve your appliance effectiveness and make your home life much easier and enjoyable,” says Manoj Verma, Executive President, and COO, Polycab India Limited.

MUSING MUSEUMS

A few months back, when I was in Budapest, I walked into a building that left me awestruck. The inquisitive me went on to explore, and I discovered that it was a museum with pixels on the exterior and that the curved structure of the building dipped underground to form the interiors, even as the garden I was walking on was the green roof of the building that interjected at street level! Woah! I quickly took some pictures and went on to research this building, and the more I read about it, the more I fell in love with it. And then of course I had to share it with you all!
