Situation
The „Hermannshöhe“ project is located in Bochum (Germany) and was realized on behalf of VIVAWEST, one of the leading housing providers in North Rhine-Westphalia. Here, 89 unique residential units were created, which are characterized in particular by their high level of comfort and modernity. The seven buildings have five storeys and integrate seamlessly into the existing residential development. Laundry and drying rooms, cellar rooms, technical rooms, garbage rooms and bicycle rooms are located in the basement. Due to its proximity to the city center, the 5600 m² site appeals to singles, couples and families alike. Completion took place in 2018. VIVAWEST manages almost 120,000 apartments on the Rhine and Ruhr. From single apartments to spacious detached houses, VIVAWEST develops liveable and lovable neighborhoods and high-quality living spaces for all income groups in the population.

Requirements
VIVAWEST was looking for a Smart Home system with shading, lighting and alarm functions. A basic system should be installed before the tenant moves in, with the option of additional expansion by the tenant. A pre-installed alarm and security system should also be easy to activate and alert residents in the event of burglary or fire.
