- By MIGUEL LIBOSADA

Amaia Land furthered their commitment to innovation and sustainabi­lity as they introduced Amaia Home Solutions to the public at Amaia Scapes Bulacan on Saturday, March 2. Home Solutions aims to provide an innovative experience in housing through the integratio­n of new technologi­es and the Internet.

A GLIMPSE INTO SMART LIVING

Home Solutions introduces six new efficient and convenient functions that elevate one’s housing experience.

First, Home Solutions features the Smart Outlet, a home automation outlet with a USB port that can be remotely controlled through a smartphone.

It also features a Smart Touch Glass Switch that opens lights with a single tap. If you’re the type to leave your lights on, fret not, as this technology can be controlled through a Wi-Fi or Bluetoothc­onnected smartphone. The opening and closing of the lights can also be scheduled, guaranteei­ng energy efficiency.

Home Solutions also features improved safety and security measures, thanks to a variety of smart technologi­es. It starts with Smart CCTV, a sophistica­ted, weatherpro­of CCTV camera with strong lenses, infrared LEDs, and an integrated speaker and microphone. Additional­ly, it features a Smart Smoke Sensor with improved smokedetec­ting features that send an alarm to your phone when smoke is detected. Lastly, homeowners are secured with a Smart Door Lock that can only be opened with a smartphone, fingerprin­t, RFID, passcode, or access card—similar to those you see in Korean dramas!

Finally, a Multimodal Gateway feature serves as a central hub that connects your smartphone to all of the smart technologi­es in your home. With only one device, homeowners can keep an eye on their property thanks to this feature.

ADD VALUE TO YOUR HOME

Vic Katigbak, Project Technical Manager for New Business, Innovation, and Sustainabi­lity, expressed that they saw the potential of upgrading their houses with Home Solutions technology, all while considerin­g its price and their target market.

“Of course, tinitingna­n din namin ‘yung cost, na kung masyado siyang mahal, hindi rin maa-afford ng mga buyers natin ‘yan. So ‘yun ‘yung naging isang key, nakita namin na maliit lang ‘yung additional expense to upgrade your house to a [hi-tech] house,” he explained.

Katigbak also shared that the smart houses are upgradeabl­e, and promise after-sale service that will support new homeowners as they navigate the life of living in a smart house. “For us, it’s not luxury. It’s an added feature and value to your home. An upgradeabl­e feature that can be integrated into all as long as it is compatible.”

Kathy Mamaril, In-house Division Head of Amaia, shared that Amaia Home Solutions is presently offered in Amaia Scapes Bulacan. Currently, available units have floor spaces that range from 60 to 80 square meters and cost P4.4 million. They are also getting ready to sell their bigger units, which are between 80 and 100 square meters in size and cost about P7 million. It is expected to be available later this year.

Meanwhile, Jeanette Saturnino, Marketing, Recruitmen­t, and Training division Head, shared that Home Solutions will also be marketed internatio­nally through the Ayala Internatio­nal Sales team and Ayala Internatio­nal Sales Inc.

As the future unfolds, Amaia reaffirms its dedication to creating homes that harmonize technology, convenienc­e, and sustainabi­lity.
