At 48,500 sf (4,500 m²), Q Tower is developed as an intelligent green high-rise equipped with fully integrated occupant-responsive building systems. The design team partnered with Ted Selker from the Context-Aware Computing Group at the MIT Media Lab to embed interactive sensing technologies throughout the tower. The outcome is a human-centric responsive vertical building, rather than a static, passive architectural structure.
This cross-disciplinary collaboration delivers multiple breakthroughs across all core building systems. Geothermal energy loops, high-performance environmental control, smart home appliances and automated regulation frameworks form the project’s foundational sustainable backbone. Supplementary intelligent residential amenities, including a virtual doorman and smart parcel lockers at the main entrance, further elevate daily user experience. The tower dynamically senses, adapts and caters to residents’ shifting living demands around the clock.
