The future of condominium living defined




BACK in the 1960s, people were already dreaming of futuristic and fully automated homes that could be controlled at the press of a button.
In the classic animated series The Jetsons, the space-age family never rose from their beds to turn off a light switch or messed around with appliances or thermostats—everything was preset to simulate optimal conditions. Every household chore and mundane task was managed by a robotic housekeeper, who cooked their meals, washed the dishes, did the laundry, and cleaned the house.
Today, the newest technological developments have made home automation a reality. While fully functional household robots have yet to be developed for homeowners to help address their needs, smart home technology is now becoming more accessible than ever and is beginning to introduce a new brand of innovative lifestyles.
Twin Oaks Place, the first future-ready home at Greenfield District, offers unit owners the opportunity to enjoy the seamless and connected lifestyle within the confines of their own automated home.
Residents have the option of installing a home automation system in their units, which allows them to control their homes using mobile phones wherever they are.
“Through home automation, appliances, lights, curtains and even the thermostat can be switched on or off with the press of a button on their smartphone or tablet,” said lawyer Duane A.X. Santos, executive vice president of Greenfield Development Corp. (GDC). “Owners can include numerous devices in their home automation system—light fixtures, air conditioning, AV and stereo systems, curtain control and door locks.”
These functions facilitate a seamless, automated lifestyle that allows homeowners to manage their time and resources better. With automated front door locks, homeowners will never have to worry about losing their keys or wasting electricity by leaving their appliances on. Units at Twin Oaks Place can be controlled remotely via an app installed on their handheld devices and accessed with a unique security code. Residents can access the front door to let the cleaning lady or babysitter come over while they are still at work, turn off the lights after they step out of the room, or set the living room’s temperature and play music to set the ambiance for their guests.
In conjunction with home automation, Twin Oaks Place unit owners can also avail themselves of Triple Play Services, which allow them to get their television, phone and Internet connections all in a single line. This gives homeowners access to services such as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) communication, IPTV (Internet protocol TV), and broadband speeds of up to 1 GBps. With all of these high-speed connections, residents at the Twin Oaks Place can seamlessly live-stream high-definition movies or enjoy clear video calls with their loved ones based abroad.
All of these services are made possible by Twin Oaks Place’s state-of-the-art fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) technology that allows data to travel a hundred times faster compared to traditional copper cables. This superior bandwidth puts Twin Oaks Place on a par with the kind of technology that first-rate cities like Seoul and Tokyo employ.
Offering one- and two-bedroom lofts, as well as studio and one-bedroom flat units, the 43-story Twin Oaks Place West Tower, the first of the two towers, is set to be completed by the first half of 2014. This prime residential condominium provides easy access to modern conveniences, with two floors dedicated to exclusive amenities, and three floors for commercial retail use as part of its smart and connected design.
The property is located at the center of Metro Manila—right in the middle of the established business districts of Makati, Fort Bonifacio Global City and Ortigas Center. It is strategically located in Mandaluyong and is surrounded by shopping centers, schools, transport terminals, country clubs and other lifestyle establishments. Moreover, Greenfield District has frontages and is accessible via two major thoroughfares: Edsa and Shaw Boulevard.
“At GDC, we aim to provide homebuyers their money’s worth in terms of good quality, functionality and innovation as we strive to be constantly at the cutting edge of real-estate development,” shared Santos. “Through pioneering developments like Twin Oaks Place, we continue to stay committed to leaving a legacy for generations by translating innovations into real solutions that answer the demands of modern-day urban living.” For Project details call +63917 3236123.
