34 luxurious oceanfront Sky Villas

Vantage Emea - High-End Home Automation as Developers

Vantage Challenge : Providing as standard - to each apartment - a comprehensive control solution to seamlessly automate systems in a way that holds up to the demands of hotel guests, owners and a harsh sea-side environment. Vantage supplied, installed and commissioned a luxury control experience for each "Sky Villa" as well as the Clubhouse, Gym, Spa, Library, Conference Center and all of the landscaping, roads, parking garages and individual buildings. -- Vantage Solution : The Vantage system controls all interior and exterior lighting (apartments and common areas), audio-visual systems, air-conditioning and fans, shades and blinds, and color-changing LED lighting. Individual apartment control integrates to building and site management controls for operation by Reception and Management personnel through a host of devices. The project is very IT-heavy using the latest technology – even WiFi triangulation (to deliver food and beverage – using the same app that controls lights, climate, shades and audio-visual systems). Kata Rocks has a custom app that allows any smart phone or tablet, using a single app, to control the lights, shades, climate, audio-visual systems, on-demand music and movies, and a host of guest services. The app also allows viewing of CCTV cameras, and offers owners a unique web-portal to their rental management data. -- Project Benefits : The client chose Vantage because it was a robust, cost-effective way to meet all of their demanding needs. Yet as appreciation grew in Vantage's unlimited capabilities, the project scope grew substantially in hardware, programming, integration and user interface controls. The entire property is centrally managed and is programmed for maximum energy savings. Occupancy Sensors take the place of key cards so air-conditioning will turn off if the patio doors are open more than three minutes, light sensors will adjust the shades if the unit is unoccupied, and there is extensive use of LED lighting throughout. In addition, programming allows for different modes such as “homeowner”, “guest”, and “un-occupied”, each offering a tiered level of cost savings.

KATA ROCKS - PHUKET : COMMERCIAL APPLICATION

Original Vision Ltd as Architects

Contemporary tropical living is what Kata Rocks is all about. Conceived as an ultra-exclusive apartment resort, the emphasis is on clean and uncomplicated space paying homage to the view. 34 oversized apartments, duplexes and penthouses, terraced to take advantage of the natural slope, are fully serviced by all the facilities you would find in a five star resort.


Sloping up from massive slabs of granite at the shoreline, each of the ten blocks are carefully positioned in three dimensions to ensure all Sky Villas have a clear, unobstructed view over the Andaman Sea. This has been aided by extensive computer modeling which has been used to prove our assumptions and fine-tune the design. On the top two floors of each block, Ocean Penthouses offer the height of luxury and space and really are 'villas in the sky'. On the water front, four 'Honeymoon Suite' Ocean Lofts along with the dynamic Kata Rocks club with its 35m swimming pool, open onto the very rocks that give this resort its name.
