Perhaps many of us have heard the story about Snow White’s magical mirror with its miraculous features. Now, the latest gadget to jump on the smart home bandwagon is straight out of a fairy tale! Whether you want to search for weather information or news updates, or control your home, the gadget is here to fulfil your needs. The 'magic mirror' of the 4.0 era is one of the highlights at The Marq – a luxury condominium in the heart of HCM City.

An era of smart devices

The concept of luxury has long been associated with heritage values and superior craftsmanship. However, in the 4.0 era, this conventional belief is being challenged by technology driven by the Internet of Things (IoT). This change is being fueled by icons of ultimate luxury – contemporary residences, with the global smart home devices’ industry expected to be worth US$54 billion by 2022.

Technology-oriented amenities are rapidly spreading across the apartment segment, bringing a new level of interaction and revolutionising resident connection to homes and beyond. According to the 2017 NMHC/Kingsley Renter Preferences Report that surveyed 250,000 apartment residents, nearly a third of those polled own between five and nine internet-connected devices. From condos and villas to spacious apartments, people across top cities are experiencing luxury living with these popular smart home devices.

The Marq – where technology is the new luxury

The Marq is one of the rare projects that interweaves traditional with modern values. In a space steeped in heritage values, owners will fully enjoy the convenience and connectivity that technology has to offer. With the smart mirror installed in the living and dining room, you can now both look in the mirror and be updated on the latest news, while basking in a cozy atmosphere, as just beyond the glass window is the commotion of everyday life.

The signature detail of each opulent residence at The Marq is a state-of-the-art, touch-screen smart mirror powered by smart home technology.

With multiple functions - from air-con lighting and curtain control, to music play, and news updates, to traffic and weather information, to synchronisation of other smart devices, smart mirrors not only help reflect your beauty every day, but also deliver convenience through unique experiences only possible in our modern technology era. And when you leave your home, thanks to the applications installed on your mobile phone, you can still control the air conditioner, lights and curtains inside your apartment.

The beauty of a luxurious living space with a prime location in the heart of the most dynamic city nationwide has its own lasting heritage values, which are being honoured by the smart gadgets of the new technology era. The harmony between tradition and modernity is what makes The Marq - a living masterpiece not for the masses - unique and remarkable.
