'With everything at Sanctuary Falls, we have strived to go beyond the conventional, and conceptualise the most innovative and sophisticated living solutions for our residents,' said Shamrez Shaikh, Chief Operations Officer of Shaikh Holdings.
'For the home automation experience at Sanctuary Falls, we wanted to create something exceptional, and needed to work with a team that not only understands technology but has a passion for it. We believe that with Archimedia we have found such a partner, and that this is an important step in making Sanctuary Falls a truly world-class lifestyle proposition.'
The Sanctuary Falls home automation system is perhaps the most advanced, yet simple-to-use system conceived to date for a residential community globally. This custom-built home automation system covers a diverse range of functionality covering six key areas - full lighting automation and climate control, seamless audio and video distribution throughout the home, unique safety and security features, as well as an integrated intercom system and future-ready infrastructure.
'We are extremely pleased to have been selected for such a prestigious project. Shaikh Holdings shares many of our values, and we are looking forward to helping them create a truly luxurious and enjoyable community,' said Halim Greiss, Archimedia's UAE Managing Partner.
'Both companies are completely dedicated to enhancing people's lifestyles, and Archimedia's solutions will be the perfect addition to the already exceptional Sanctuary Falls real estate offering.'
As a leading brand in integrated home automation, Archimedia was awarded the contract by Shaikh Holdings after a rigorous selection process based on the strength of the company's extensive industry knowledge and expertise. Archimedia has also demonstrated the experience, technical skills and a profound understanding of high-end automation requirements in premium real estate developments.
'We undertook extensive research to understand and anticipate our homeowners' lifestyles and priorities, before consolidating the final design blueprint with Archimedia. We both share the vision of improving residents' lives through innovative home technology, and at Sanctuary Falls we will be reinventing the way people live, entertain and play,' added Mr. Shaikh.
The teams have spent over six months to conceptualise and design the ultimate system to provide Sanctuary Falls' residents with an unparalleled digital living experience. It was developed with a daily life and practical perspective in mind, and shows an aspect of how the Sanctuary Falls vision will translate into an enhanced lifestyle experience for homeowners. The approach has been to treat each villa in the community individually and to have home automation solutions customised to suit each home.
'We have used an award-winning Crestron technology solution as the foundation of the system, to provide Sanctuary Falls homeowners with a lifestyle of comfort and convenience. The system we have developed means residents will not need to walk from room to room to adjust their drapery, lighting, room temperature, audio or video components. A complete digital home automation experience will be available to them at the touch of a button,' added Mr. Greiss.
Sanctuary Falls will be a landmark villa community set amidst lush golf vistas and inspiring lakes. The community features a collection of 96 resort-style villas overlooking the Earth golf course designed by Greg Norman. The Earth course was recently announced as the chosen venue for the richest golf tournament in the world, the Dubai World Championship starting in 2009. Offering a selection of varied architectural styles and views, each home in Sanctuary Falls has been meticulously designed to offer a unique and inspired living experience.
