  string(359) "The client on this project travels quite a bit and wanted a fully functioning Automated Airbnb solution that allowed customers access to specific areas in the building based on their booking.

  string(1738) "We installed a fully automated Loxone lighting, heating and audio solution throughout the building. Plus, we added an intercom linked to the manager of the sites phone for if clients need support. We also added NFC Code Touch Trees beside all external and internal doors throughout the building. Meaning that we could grant access to the building and any rooms inside it using the Loxone user management feature, so that customers only had access to areas that they were permitted to enter during their stay at Lagom. We then added further access features for delivery drivers and cleaners to all of the areas they would require.



We implemented the Audioserver as requested, which provides a nice background sound throughout the building and also allows us to connect the ceiling speakers in the living room to the projector. We have added an override switch in the living room for customers so that they can turn on the projector and sound will come through the speakers at a set volume and the audio in other areas beside this is then turned off until the button is pressed again or the night time schedule tells it to turn off.



We then implemented a solution that when a client books and information is sent to the booking agent (Hostaway), we can take that information and send it into the Authentication NFC Code Touch function block so that the correct code that was supplied by Hostaway to the clients is then inputted under the clients code on the NFC which gives us traceability of the clients on the system also.



We have also done full lighting control throughout using Presence Sensors with all the hallways, living room, kitchen, library and garden/driveway areas being controlled."

We got to reuse old light fittings which were all rewired rather than being scrapped and a lot of upcycling was carried out on furniture and different products on site. It makes it a hugely interesting place to work. The bare walls inside, I think are amazing and the building itself is full of character and Jordan has done a brilliant job of bringing this out in the build and mixing it with Nautical themes that suit the area.



Such a pleasure to work on and people should definitely check out Stay Lagom on Instagram as the place is amazing."

Challenge

The client on this project travels quite a bit and wanted a fully functioning Automated Airbnb solution that allowed customers access to specific areas in the building based on their booking. They also wanted to have set playlists in the building, playing in the corridors during the day and Crickets playing at a very low level on the speakers at night time.

Solution

We installed a fully automated Loxone lighting, heating and audio solution throughout the building. Plus, we added an intercom linked to the manager of the sites phone for if clients need support. We also added NFC Code Touch Trees beside all external and internal doors throughout the building. Meaning that we could grant access to the building and any rooms inside it using the Loxone user management feature, so that customers only had access to areas that they were permitted to enter during their stay at Lagom. We then added further access features for delivery drivers and cleaners to all of the areas they would require.

We implemented the Audioserver as requested, which provides a nice background sound throughout the building and also allows us to connect the ceiling speakers in the living room to the projector. We have added an override switch in the living room for customers so that they can turn on the projector and sound will come through the speakers at a set volume and the audio in other areas beside this is then turned off until the button is pressed again or the night time schedule tells it to turn off.

We then implemented a solution that when a client books and information is sent to the booking agent (Hostaway), we can take that information and send it into the Authentication NFC Code Touch function block so that the correct code that was supplied by Hostaway to the clients is then inputted under the clients code on the NFC which gives us traceability of the clients on the system also.

We have also done full lighting control throughout using Presence Sensors with all the hallways, living room, kitchen, library and garden/driveway areas being controlled.

We really enjoyed working on this project, it has been something very interesting and challenging to work on but with how artistic and thrifty the client and his parents have been it has been fun also. We got to reuse old light fittings which were all rewired rather than being scrapped and a lot of upcycling was carried out on furniture and different products on site. It makes it a hugely interesting place to work. The bare walls inside, I think are amazing and the building itself is full of character and Jordan has done a brilliant job of bringing this out in the build and mixing it with Nautical themes that suit the area.

Such a pleasure to work on and people should definitely check out Stay Lagom on Instagram as the place is amazing.
