An extra space where you can completely escape from the pressure. Out in amongst nature, and with a minimalistic design. That's what they were looking for, but it was nowhere to be found. So they created it themselves: "With Vilarte, we want to help people get closer to nature and offer them the chance to experience a sense of freedom. That's why each pavilion features many windows, to retain the connection with the outdoors, while the steel structure can be perfectly adapted to the client's specific wishes."
Exquisite design
To arrive at the carefully considered, characteristic Vilarte design, Vilarte worked together with renowned designer stefan schöning. "Stefan is, in fact, a product developer, who therefore makes different choices to an architect. He dares to think outside the box, but the design still needs to work.
So, he draws on minimalist principles, but also practical design aspects in each of his works. This means everything is thought through down to the last detail and coordinated together."
Peace of mind and home with Niko Home Control
With Vilarte, they help to remove stress from everyday life, not only through minimalist design, but also by making user friendliness a priority.
They also made a careful and conscious choice for Niko as a home automation partner. Pieter actually once had his own electricals wholesaler a long time ago, through which he became very familiar with all the available smart solutions: "I was looking for something stylish, high-quality and user-friendly all in one, and naturally arrived at Niko Home Control."
Support from idea to execution
Tailor-made connection
Exactly which home automation solution is integrated in each Vilarte pavilion depends largely on the client. "We thought it important that once a system has been programmed, it should be really simple for the end-user to control it. We also set up some fixed scenes to truly complement the multi-faceted sense of freedom created by the pavilions."
"But if the client wants to know what his pavilion's consumption is, then we can ensure that the energy consumption can be measured. If they already have Niko Home Control, we make good use of it, but even if the client is using a different system, we have bridging solutions to translate it into Niko Home Control."
Finally, Vilarte likes to keep the control aspect of Niko Home Control as simple as possible: "We deliberately opted for the simplicity of a Digital black control screen instead of different switches. It means the resident can control all electrical installations at the touch of a button, including the Sonos music system and the Daikin heat pump for air-conditioning and heating."
