A creative collaboration between function and sustainability.
The Sydney office of global social media platform TikTok captures the brand’s core mission: to inspire creativity and bring joy.
Located within the award-winning and highly sustainable Salesforce Tower in the heart of the Sydney CBD, the workplace is a premium, tech-enabled space tailored to its creative and collaborative culture.
Combining immersive technology, flexible workspaces and strong brand experiences, the office is supported by smart building technology to deliver energy efficiency and WELL-focused occupant comfort.
The fit-out project utilised a total of 50 Somfy Sonesse 40 WT motors - managed by 4 Somfy animeo KNX 4AC Motor Controllers – to motorise the Verosol high-performance metallised-backed screen roller blinds.
Somfy Commercial Expert Solis installed the Sonesse 40 WT motors, chosen for energy efficiency, smart automation, occupant comfort, and seamless building integration.
“Somfy’s KNX blind control system was used to seamlessly operate the roller blinds via the BMS or manual override,” said Scott Johnston, General Manager – Sales of Solis.
“The system effectively reduces heat and glare while maintaining clear outward visibility, allowing occupants to enjoy uninterrupted harbour views.”
The Somfy animeo KNX Blind Control System works to efficiently regulate and synchronise the building functions, ensuring optimal occupant comfort and energy efficiency.
The system is particularly advantageous, giving added control and visibility of the system. Motors can be addressed, monitored, and controlled individually, giving occupants the flexibility to customise their favourite blind position.
The Sonesse range of quiet motors is recognised throughout the industry for meeting the needs of even the most high-performance project. Somfy Sonesse motors are available to suit all interior shading applications.
Quiet, adaptable and intuitive, Sonesse motors are designed for all types of projects from commercial to residential, including new builds and renovations.
