Project Overview
Project Title: Smart 4-Bedroom Bungalow – Fully Automated and Solar-Powered
Location: Nigeria
Project Type: Residential – Smart Bungalow
Client Type: Private Family (Tech-Savvy Homeowner)
Services Rendered: Architectural Design, Smart Systems Planning, Phased Implementation Strategy
Project Status: Completed
Phased Development for Budget-Friendly Automation
To ensure affordability while achieving a high-tech outcome, the design was delivered in two key phases:
- Phase 1: Core bungalow construction with energy-efficient shell, integrated solar, and app-ready wiring
- Phase 2: Installation of smart devices and automation systems for lighting, security, and water use
This staged approach allowed the client to occupy the home early while gradually activating smart features as budget and tech access permitted.
Seamless, Climate-Smart Design
With Nigeria’s hot and humid climate in mind, the bungalow was carefully planned for energy efficiency and comfort:
- Building Orientation: Maximized natural daylight while minimizing direct solar heat gain
- Cross Ventilation: Operable windows and open-plan layout promote constant airflow
- Shading: Deep eaves and landscape buffers reduce indoor temperatures naturally
- Accessibility: Entire home is step-free, with wide passageways ideal for elderly occupants or mobility devices
- Security: Concealed motion sensors, automated outdoor lighting, and video-ready entry points
By designing with climate and comfort in mind, this home significantly reduces energy costs while supporting wellness.
Smart Features for Sustainable Living
Smart systems were deeply embedded into the design, allowing app-based control and automation:
| Smart Area | Provision Highlights |
|---|---|
| Security | Motion-sensor lighting, CCTV conduits, smart doorbell prep |
| Lighting | Zoned app-controlled circuits, dimming functionality, energy use tracking |
| Energy | Solar panel array, inverter-ready system, battery storage zoning |
| Water | Smart irrigation and leak detection sensors integrated with app alerts |
| Climate Control | AC zoning prepped for smart thermostats and remote temperature control |
This home is more than just “tech-enabled”, it’s designed to be fully self-sustaining.
