GASHOLDERS

The building is clad in mechanical shutters for protection, discretion and aesthetics. These shutters are motorised and needed to be operated from switches, touch screens and apps, while giving the building managers override control for maintenance, alongside an automatic override in the event of high wind speeds. Homeowners needed to be notified of any overrides as they happen. Residents were also to be offered the ability to manage actions beyond the standard heating schedules; they were to be able to program any item that was linked to the home control system. This gave every apartment owner the ability to schedule when the shutters or curtains would open; when the lights would come on (and to what scene); when warm walls should run, and when holiday mode was off or on.
