Dukes Place – Luxury Smart Home for Hong Kong Telecom
Situation
Dukes Place, located in one of Hong Kong’s most sought-after districts, Jardine’s Lookout, is a first-class building project.
The striking outer facade of curved
glass rounded off with champagne-colored
metallic lines, and the recurring Italian
stone used in the construction makes
the magnificent building stand out even
in this metropolis of millions. The project
of the Chinese company Hong Kong
Telecom offers its demanding customers
an extraordinary living experience in 16
individual residential units ranging in size
from 260m2 to 631m2, on a total area of 5,580m2.
Requirements
Hong Kong Telecom needed a Smart
Home system for 16 luxury flats that
offered maximum flexibility in terms of size
and application while meeting the high demands
of the elite residents. In addition to
smart climate control, intelligent curtains were also to be a feature.
Solution
HKT opted for the premium Smart Home
provider ubisys and its devices „Made in
Germany” for this first-class construction
project. Thanks to the flush-mounted
actuators, the system remains completely
invisible and thus integrates perfectly into
the high-quality furnishings of the residential
units.
In addition to the climate control, ubisys
also supplied components for smart lighting
and consumer control – via app or the
existing buttons / switches. The desired
curtain operation was implemented with
the smart Shutter Actuator J1. Using the
ubisys App, residents can set up and
trigger scenes, time and group controls
themselves. Thanks to the wireless technology,
the apartments can be expanded
with additional devices at any time – for even more living comfort.
