BTicino Più Vicino: a tool for architects and the building industry

There’s a growing need for home automation and the other technologies used in buildings to be flexible and scalable. Despite slowdowns caused by the health crisis, Italy’s construction industry continues to put up new buildings and redevelop numerous urban areas once occupied by industrial zones or railway yards. Many heritage buildings in urban areas are also being repurposed, with commercial and office buildings turned to homes. The repurposing of historically important buildings as museums, hotels, and public spaces also reflects recent industry trends.

All of this has made it necessary to provide energy-efficient technologies designed with an eye on the future that meet the demands of smart buildings today, while also being simple, scalable, and flexible enough to deliver the best results in any situation.

 

A digital showcase for smart homes

With its longstanding commitment to dialogue with its clients, BTicino has launched an online service so that it can work alongside building industry professionals, offering them – through numerous real-world examples – a complete overview of how home automation technology can be applied in a range of living environments. Smart home technology has become a part of everyday life. It’s part and parcel of the concept of a connected world, in which, through a host of applications, we’re offered full – and often autonomous – control of a range of parameters to achieve the best in living comfort.

With its BTicino Più Vicino [BTicino Close-Up, t.n.] tool, BTicino has interpreted and defined the smart home concept. The project goes beyond simply showcasing products to demonstrating both the context of each project and the technological approach chosen to achieve the best combination of home and living. More than just technology, the service provides a clear example of how home automation seamlessly adapts to a range of situations. Even in historical buildings, the new can merge with the old in perfect harmony.

 

Different contexts, different results

The webpage features numerous case studies, complete with information about each project as well as its aims, including restoration and preservation projects. Dedicated to BTicino’s building industry partners, the web service was conceived as a portfolio of different interpretations of home automation, applied in a whole series of highly varied situations. Information is presented to provide straightforward answers to every possible question that architects and designers, as well as private clients, are likely to ask about connected technologies in the home. And each answer is thoroughly supported through the option of discovering the My Home Up and Smart Home range of connected technologies, and how any living unit or common space can easily be automated. BTicino Più Vicino is therefore also a showcase of numerous completed building projects from around Italy.

 

Full immersion in the future with BTicino

BTicino Più Vicino offers a journey through the company’s smart and home automation solutions. Through descriptions of each project, the tool’s intuitive navigation system explains the concepts and aims of each project. BTicino Più Vicino is an informational and learning tool, developed as a product showcase specifically tailored to the building industry. You can access it at: https://www.bticino.it/bticino-per-il-real-estate. With its innovative, high-impact graphics, the new service presents some of Italy’s most important commercial property development projects.
