bti introduces smart home in Bangladesh real estate

To cater to the demands of today's home buyers, bti recently launched The Platinum Collection which offers luxury apartments with high-end features. Apartments under this collection will incorporate modern lifestyle features, such as the integration of smart living concepts for the first time in Dhaka. For instance, smart hub allows residents to have remote control access to lights, fans, TVs, curtains and so on. These features can be accessed from any smartphone with Wi-Fi connectivity, ensuring easy and comfortable living for the apartment dwellers. With the use of these home automation features, residents can customise living spaces as per their preference.

The apartments also incorporate greenery throughout the building in the form of outdoor lawns, gardens, vertical greenery, as well as planters that can hold large plants. These are all attempts to bring nature back into the life of urban home dwellers who crave for serenity.

Security is a top priority for every homeowner to ensure their loved ones are safe. Keeping that in mind, these properties come with layers of security, right from the building entrance to the inside of the home, and include features like automated security entry bar, fingerprint door lock, video door bell and so on to prevent any unauthorised entry. Apart from these, fire safety measures are also tackled through the inclusion of strategically located fire escapes, fire hydrants and alarms. There are also gas detectors connected through Wi-Fi to smartphones to prevent fire hazards.

The apartment also shows attention to the finest details in terms of design, layout and specifications. Apart from using materials like fair face for the building exterior, and branded imported fittings, care has been given to the architectural consideration so that all the homes receive adequate light and ventilation through use of voids, large windows and so on. Space in these apartments is designed to ensure maximum functionality. These apartments are also large in size, ranging from 3000 to 7000+sft, and all the rooms are spacious and well ventilated to ensure residents enjoy living in homes where space is not a constraint. The apartments are also backed with more than one lift, parking space, as well as generator.

As traffic in Dhaka city becomes increasingly unbearable, these upscale apartments incorporate a plethora of lifestyle amenities so that one can find relaxation and entertainment without stepping out of the homes. For instance, large spaces in the building are dedicated to amenities like infinity pool, BBQ area, green terraces, and so on. Residents can take in the scenic views of the building surroundings while enjoying the amenities in the privacy of their home. These opulent properties also include an equipped gym for working out, or yoga studio to relax and meditate. Dedicated play areas for children are also incorporated in the design. The high-end properties, merged with technology and incorporating lifestyle features, ensure that the apartment is not just a building, but rather a lifestyle suited to today's urban life.
