Technology and function. While a TV is the centerpiece of a traditional family room, Ferrer eschewed the eyesore of a wall-mounted TV and tucked it away in a custom-built Cabinet Tronix television cabinet. With a touch of a button, the TV emerges, neatly and discretely, connected to half a dozen media peripherals, including a Blu-Ray player and X-Box, which are also hidden away, enclosed in a compartment at the bottom of the unit. Inside the cabinet, the family’s former tiny TV was upsized and upgraded with a 43" TCL Roku TV. Since streaming is the new cable, the family cut the cord, and cost, and now uses a TERK Trinity Indoor Amplified HDTV antenna to get basic channels sans subscription. Atop the cabinet, a stylish Sonos Playbar connects to the TV via optical cable and lends rich AV sound. The app-controlled system connects with other Sonos speakers in the house to stream free and paid playlists from sites like Pandora, Amazon Music, and Spotify. To amplify Wi-Fi throughout the house, a TP-Link VR900 modem/router is paired with the eero extender system to boost bufferless audio and video streaming. Above the lift cabinet, Ferrer used the wall space as a projection screen for a ZTE Spro2 projector. The palm-sized tablet-like projector transforms the living room into a cinema, streaming directly from the device or connecting to other devices via USB or HDMI cable. After some research, Ferrer learned that the best color wall for projection was not white, as one might expect, but grey. She chose Sherwin-Williams Passive Gray to make the colors pop and show vividly on the wall.

Over the last few years, the hospitality sector has evolved enormously in terms of tech integration. From integrated smart home systems to energy-efficient building management systems, hotels are embracing innovation like never before, creating spaces that are intelligent and responsive to the needs of guests and operators alike. This digital transformation is set to continue in future while revolutionising the guest experience and redefining the built environment. In this article, Ar. Anil Badan, Founder and Principal Architect at Studio B Architects delves into the impact of smart technology on hospitality design and explores its myriad benefits in enhancing the overall guest experience. Innovative Approach to Design Studio B Architect’s innovative approach to design can be seen in boutique hotels and upscale resorts, fusing visuals with functionality. The use of VR and AR technology in design has created new opportunities for creating immersive environments and gaining a thorough understanding of settings. With AI tools in rooms, it offers guests an overview of hotel amenities along with local places and markets of the region. One of our recent projects, Grand Mercure Agra uses various technologies to offer guests an immersive experience during their stay. Enhancing Sustainability with Smart Solutions One of the key benefits of incorporating smart technology into hotel design is the potential to improve sustainability and reduce environmental impact. Energy-efficient lighting systems, smart thermostats, and automated HVAC controls are just a few examples of how smart technology can help hotels minimise energy consumption and optimise resource usage. Studio B Architects prioritises sustainability in its hotel designs and leverages smart technology to create eco-friendly spaces that align with environmental stewardship without compromising on comfort or luxury. Elevating the Guest Experience Through Personalisation Smart technology enables hotels to deliver personalised experiences that cater to the unique preferences and needs of each guest. From intuitive room controls and customised digital concierge services to smart mirrors and interactive displays, hotels can leverage data analytics and artificial intelligence to anticipate guest needs and enhance satisfaction. This level of personalisation in hospitality design projects creates immersive and memorable guest experiences that set its properties apart from the competition. Streamlining Operations and Enhancing Efficiency In addition to improving the guest experience, smart technology also offers significant benefits for hotel operators by streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency. Integrated building management systems allow for centralised control and monitoring of key systems such as lighting and security, enabling hotels to optimise performance and reduce operating costs. Leading technology partners implement smart solutions that streamline operations and enhance the overall efficiency of their hotel designs, ensuring functionality and maximum return on investment for owners and operators. In conclusion, Studio B Architects is at the forefront of this transformation, leading the way with its innovative approach to smart hospitality design. By embracing the potential of smart technology, they are redefining the guest experience and setting new standards for excellence in the built environment.

Bathroom - mid-sized modern bathroom idea in Los Angeles

BoBen Construction commissioned HB Architects to develop 12 luxury properties to sit amongst historic converted barns, set on the outskirts of Rugby at Bilton Fields Farm. The design concept places juxtaposed farm style elements with contemporary glazing solutions to optimise the country and wooded views surrounding the development. The design process followed a traditional format starting with hand drawn sketches to establish a concept. This then allowed a series of 3D and 2D work which further explained the complexity of the designs. Animations and 3D renders helped to translate HB Architects ideas to the client, in the form of VR Virtual Reality technology that allows a fully interactive experience. RIBA Work Stages 0 – 5
