Keeping your valuables and precious goods getting into wrong hands is the worst nightmares of people living in such habitats. Everyone knows the value of a security system which may even save a life one day.

Secure your living spaces 

Advances in technology have led to the emergence of home automation, which is offered by many trusted security providers. Home automation trends for the foreseeable future will be marketed directly to home security owners with a focus on convenience and a more well-rounded security experience available at an affordable price.

Technological boom and easy availability of various brands and globalization help us to achieve easy access to state of the art home control devices and security equipments, Smart homes which can control and manipulate indoor temperatures and play music  according to the mood of the user may be the home of tomorrow!!

Devices like Biometric locking systems, Proximity card entry, Video door phone with Camera outside front door, Home automation system with touch screen controls.Intrusion alarm system etc are the basic levels of securities we can incorporate with our precious home.

Bio-metric Entry System.

Biometric Locking Systems : Goodbye, keys. You’ll never leave your fingerprints in your other pants, so biometric locks offer convenience and fast entry for an authorized user.
A biometric lock uses an optical scanner to read and memorize your fingerprint (and the fingerprints of other authorized users who you decide should have access to your home).
This increases the security level of your home to a higher level since duplication of finger print is not an easy task like we see on movies.

Proximity Card Entry: Lots of companies use proximity cards to control physical access. An employee holds their card within a few inches of the reader; the reader receives a unique id from the card and transmits it to some central computer that tells it whether or not to open the door. This can easily be installed in your homes and the Proximity cards can be designed only for the inmates of your home

Video door phone with Camera : Video door entry also known as a video intercom or video door phone is a stand-alone intercom system used to manage calls made at the entrance to a building like residential complex, detached family home, workplace, etc. with access controlled by audiovisual communication between the inside and outside. This system help us to identify the people coming into our doorsteps and enable us to watch and speak without opening your door.

Alarm Systems

Home automation system with touch screen controls: This type of system allows individuals to control the lighting and temperature within their home, all from a home automation touchscreen or online via the Internet. Users of this type of system can also monitor their security settings while away from home, thanks to strategically placed video cameras within the home.

Home Automation System

Intrusion alarm system: Its an all purpose alarm system that notify the user about almost all the emergencies like fire, thief breakage, gas leak, smoke etc. Mainly these systems start an alarm sound at high sounds. Some advanced systems can even make a call or send emergency message to the respected user.

Proximity Card Entry System 

All these security measures ensure the safety and security of our precious home and the loved ones living inside , We can never put a price on security since it costs precious life and the valuables.As a responsible builder,We Nest Infratech, provide all these security measures at our lifestyle buildings since the safety of each and every person is our prime priority.

From Homes To Apartments,The Booming Residential Trend

The lifestyle hype happening in Kerala leads to the massive migration of people from their traditional house to apartments. New generation jobs, work timings, and international work culture pave the way for the new residential migration.
 To decide which residential style suits for a family is still a tiring head ache,both sides have their own pros and cons. But the Kerala roots in the of native people, try to sustain the homely atmosphere adjusting to the apartment habits. Kerala’s premium builders like Nest Infratech provides the awe inspiring villas and new generation apartments just the way they are meant to be.

" The World Villas" in Cochin

The main milestones which makes the apartment migration to hype are

1)Location ; Apartments located at the heart of the city makes transportation easy
2)Family safety: Since the apartment lifestyle gives a large community around your family, it really ensure the safety when key person is traveling away from their home leaving family alone
3)Freedom of choice: The vast number of builders and their projects give the power of choice to select the best design and some even provide custom designs also

Since the Kerala life style gives more important to relationships and family, the apartment lifestyle is more micro compared to the traditional life style.the cons of having an apartment are

.Limited freedom to make modifications to the exteriors your home.
.Very limited space for gardening and personal hobbies.
.Maintenance comes at a cost.
.Sound interference from nearby apartments can be a nuisance.
.No flexibility to expand the space for future needs as your children grow or if
 your parents move in to live with you.

Talking about the nature of a home or an apartment ,deals with the location, design as well as careful planing of effective utilization of resources, The Flagship project of Nest infratech ,“The World Apartments” and The World Villas” ensures the Eco friendly nature, keeping the ethnicity of owning a Kerala style home ,which comes with,higher freedom.We just have to convert the house to a home with the family ambiance.

"The World Apartments" at Alwaye, Cochin.

  The advantages of having a home are
• Ability to design the house as per your wish.
•An independent house provides you greater degree of freedom.
• Future modification of exteriors as per the latest trends and wishes.
• If you have keen interest in gardening then you would have a space to build on your interest or grow your pets.
• Privacy with no sound pollusion.
• You can always expand the space as per requirement in the future when your children grow up.
• You can develop the higher floors when you want to make some additional income through rent.

As an answer to this dilemma, some of the people find owning a personal villa excluding the higher price tag comfortable,since it actually overlaps the advantages of apartments and homes neglecting the cons of owning them. Which decreases the intensity of the problem to an extent.

Why passive houses are a strong choice.

It's the era of smart homes; homes that are efficient enough to eliminate the troubles of mechanical heating and cooling of a building through smart, time-tested heating and cooling features.

You all must have juggled the improved ideas of contemporary, modern, country-style and traditional style while building your new home. But every one of these styles, as productive as they sound, does not really stand up to the energy efficiency standards. That’s where passive homes come in; as energy saviors that eliminate the need for auxiliary heating and cooling. 

In harmony with the climate

When it gets really hot during hard summer days, it’s hard to cut the growing heat in your interiors. Passive home designs take advantage of the climate to make sure the occupants endure a thermally comfortable temperature in the interior. Understanding the principles of thermal comfort, these homes put you in a comfortable temperature range at all times.

A passive home design

Reduce Carbon emissions

Whether or not global warming is a matter of concern to you, every house plays its part in the alarming rise of carbon emissions around the globe. It is not just factories and vehicles that billow smoke but also our own homes. Ever since the passive homes have come into existence, the energy conservation standards promised are indeed overwhelming. Especially when it claims to slash carbon emissions by 80%, we know there’s push for a better future. 

Save Money

Passive houses make more economic sense than the modern day homes and it is more bang for your money when you decide on building a passive house. Though not cost-efficient during the initial outlay, in the long run passive homes turn more than significant as it lets you cut the cost of energy bills by 90%.

Minimize air leakage, breathe improved air 

It’s not something you want when you have conditioned air in the house let out uncontrollably through cracks and openings. Passive homes minimize air leakage with an effective ventilation system. The sophisticated ventilation system in a passive home efficiently controls the humidity. The air that enters the home is filtered and warmed, and old air is exhausted out.

Intelligent shading and window orientation

Passive homes avoid heat gain through intelligent shading and window orientation. This impressive system provides improved indoor air quality.

A passive home in Germany.

Conclusion

The seemingly more logical idea of a passive house is slowly planting its feet in Indian uptowns. The growing urge to find more sustainable choices of home design has paved way to create a sense of awareness and more passive homes are cropping up.

Today, there's a large chunk of the world's energy gobbled up by modern day homes. It is definitely time we seek sources of sustainability; it's time to get the new builds more efficient.

Top 5 reasons to choose 'Orchid Park'

The Orchid Park, the latest venture of the nest group, has suceeded in placing a solid footing in the heart of kottayam, considered to be the birthplace of malayalam literature, the nerve point of media centes and the land of letters, latex and lagoons. While it houses a variety of weapons up its arsenal we have taken the liberty of puting forward five of the best features this earthly paradise has to offer.

1. Accessibilty

 This may seem like an obvious choice to many, but we had to put it in our top five considering the ease of access this apartment is going to provide its residents. Located at the heart of kottayam, it is just 2 km away from the railway station and has everything a person would require within the radius of a few kilometers. Accessibility is key while choosing any area for residential needs and the orchid park is generous in this regard.

2. Barbeque & Party area

  We understand the fundamental need of a person of having a social life. What better way to jazz it up than throw a barbeque party?

This little feature excited us the moment we laid eyes upon it, even to a point where we started fantasizing about the nights we could enjoy sipping  cold cola while gorging buckets of spicy chicken wings. A fun way to unwind with your family, friends or both.

3. Sauna & Jaccuzi

   Okay, it was around this time when we started to have a feeling that these guys were trying to spoil up. I could be on the search for a person who would not like a warm session in a sauna for months and still find no one. It is one of those rare places that you would succeed in finding zen in this busy and noisy world we live in today. I guess the project visualizers sensed this and, as a gift, sent us this glorious creation.

4. Rainwater Harvesting

   Just another example to reinforce the fact that the human race may actually live to see another millenium. The rainwater harvesting system is a green initiative taken up by the developers which in theory would ensure fresh water supply all through the year, especially in an area like kottayam which in fact gets a lot of rainfall through the year. This feature may yet prove a factor that would amaze atleast a small section of people still not enlightened to the fact that rainwater could actually be saved.

5. Landscaped Gardens

   In this period when we don't have an option but to enjoy a flower made of concrete or a tree made of asbestos, the idea of having a landscaped garden sounds somewhat heaven sent. To think that you would actually see a little bit of green in this concrete jungle we have today may excite some of you nature lovers out there. What better way to end a day than sitting with your loved ones enjoying the sunset? And what better way to end this analysis than by putting this peaceful image into your minds? 

The time has come for us to end this discussion and for to begin taking action. The orchid park is looking for prospective buyers, and for those of you who are interested in owning this piece of heaven contact the nest group by means listed below.

Is your child alone at home?

Home - it's where children grow and learn, the place where they find comfort, love and care. It's where they can see, touch, explore and experience the world around them, so their minds and bodies develop properly. It's also a place where children need to feel safe.

Home is a special place when you are growing up. It’s a place to explore, to have adventures and to play. The home is also the most common place for young children to be injured. Most accidents are predictable and preventable. Try to make the home environment as safe as possible before your baby arrives and again before your child starts crawling.

You must always ensure the inside of your home is safe. You must also consider hazards found in outdoor areas, particularly the driveway, front and rear gardens, pool and barbeque areas, garden sheds, play areas and cubby houses.

Your child is big enough now. Let's see how he/she reacts to the new condition without hanging on to your fingertips. But before you leave them, guide them with some necessary tips so that they can feel more confortable in the situation.

Take a look at the home safety tips for children:

Child Safety Checklist

• Never leave young children unattended for any length of time
• Keep cleaning supplies, poisons, alcohol and other toxic agents locked up and out of reach
• If you leave older children home alone, be sure they understand the importance of keeping the doors and windows locked at all times. And tell them to never answer the door for anyone other than a trusted friend or family member.
• Never allow your kids to operate the oven, stove, washing machine or other appliance without your supervision
• Never allow young children to shower or bathe unless you or another adult can assist them if needed
• Make sure a list of emergency contact numbers is clearly posted

Ask your child how he feels about staying home alone. If he seems worried or afraid, he may not be ready. But if he's keen to try, this experience can foster his sense of independence. Make use of these tips and let your child be safe and comfort at your home even lonely. Thus you can be stress-free and happy that your child has grown to be independent.
