Modern Living with Keyless Technology
In a notable advancement in residential convenience, the new rental property
BAUS Flats Kuramae, developed by
Central Japan Land, introduces a comprehensive
smart home service known as
HOMETACT. This innovative approach transforms the way residents interact with their living spaces, making physical keys a thing of the past. The property, located just 2 minutes from the Toei Asakusa Line's
Kuramae station, offers easy access to various transport links, bringing the vibrancy of Tokyo right to its doorstep.
A Smart Living Experience
BAUS Flats Kuramae consists of 49 rental units varying from 1DK to 2LDK, representing
Central Japan Land's first endeavor to fully incorporate smart home technology across an entire building. Each unit is equipped with a range of IoT devices managed seamlessly through the HOMETACT system. This includes:
- - Smart switches for lighting control
- - Smart curtains for convenient opening and closing
- - Remote-operated multi air-conditioners for climate control
- - Bath remotes for easy temperature adjustments
HOMETACT combines these various devices so that residents can control them all from a single application. Furthermore, the property allows for integration with personal devices such as robot vacuums and music speakers, making it easy to customize one's living environment according to personal preferences.
Enhanced Security with Smart Lock Technology
One of the standout features of BAUS Flats Kuramae is its adoption of state-of-the-art
smart lock technology from
Ohashi Electric Industry, branded as OPELO. This system enables residents to access their homes using
IC cards or smartphones, effectively eliminating the need for physical keys. In instances when residents are away, HOMETACT enables them to generate temporary access codes for guests, ensuring high security without compromising convenience.
In shared areas like the entrance and bicycle parking lots, the
FreeiD facial recognition platform by
DXYZ Corporation has been integrated, allowing for seamless access without the need to carry keys. Rather than fumbling with keys, residents only need to position their faces near the device for entry, exemplifying a futuristic living experience.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Community
Beyond smart home features, the properties are designed with sustainability in mind. Some units include a
smart distribution board that provides insights on energy consumption. This encourages residents to adopt eco-friendly habits by making them more aware of their usage patterns. The use of technology in monitoring energy contributes to lower environmental impact, making the living environment not just comfortable but also conscious of sustainability.
Tailored Living Spaces with Unique Designs
The architectural design of the property generously incorporates traditional Japanese elements, resonating with the historical context of the
Kuramae area, known for its artisanal heritage and manufacturing roots. Furthermore, the buildings are available in diverse layouts, including spacious plans that accommodate home offices, catering to the varied needs of modern residents.
The Future of Smart Living with CN TechLab
The introduction of HOMETACT is part of a larger strategy by
Central Japan Land to innovate within the real estate sector, partnering with other stakeholders and companies to explore new dimensions of smart living. With the establishment of
CN TechLab, the company is dedicated to leveraging technology and data to offer new value to urban inhabitants.
BAUS Flats Kuramae serves as a model for future residential projects aiming to provide a secure, convenient, and environmentally friendly living experience. With its advanced smart home features and central location, it stands to greatly appeal to DINKS (Double Income No Kids) families and individuals looking to thrive in Tokyo's dynamic urban landscape. As they continue to roll out similar initiatives across more properties,
Central Japan Land is committed to enhancing residential quality and redefining modern living.
