Samsung Electronics Poland and Archicom have signed a new letter of intent that expands the existing collaboration initiated with Echo Investment. This is a move that connects the world of advanced technology with the premium real estate segment – and it realistically demonstrates how Samsung's SmartThings ecosystem is beginning to permeate the daily lives of residents in new investments.
The agreement includes the joint development of projects under the brand Archicom Collection, including flagship investments Apartments Guttenberga and M7 in Warsaw. This time, the collaboration will not be limited to the supply of consumer electronics or household appliances – it will also involve the implementation of intelligent IoT systems, solutions in the areas of air conditioning, mobility, and even cybersecurity. In other words: full integration of the building with the digital world.
Joint Innovation Laboratory
The new stage of collaboration involves more than just furnishing apartments. Samsung and Archicom aim to design, test and certify new services that may become standard in future residential developments. This includes researching the needs of residents, creating joint workshops and training programmes, as well as coordinating marketing activities – both online and during joint industry events.
– “For years, we have been developing the Samsung SmartThings ecosystem, which allows for the integration of devices and services within a single system. The partnership with Archicom opens up new possibilities for us – our technologies will become an integral part of residential investments, enhancing the daily comfort of residents in a new dimension” – comments Conor Pierce, President of Samsung Electronics Poland.
Meanwhile, Dawid Wrona, COO of Archicom, emphasises that collaborating with Samsung is a natural step in the development of the premium brand:
– “The Archicom Collection brand has always prioritised quality and innovation. With Samsung's support, we can realise projects that combine design, technology and energy efficiency in one – truly enhancing the comfort and safety of residents.”
Continuation of collaboration from years ago
The first letter of intent was signed by Samsung in 2016 with Echo Investment. After the separation of Archicom as an independent residential company, the collaboration was naturally transferred to this entity – now directly.
The new agreement will be in effect for 24 months, covering not only technological issues but also joint business projects. Both companies declare that their goal is to create new standards of smart housing, in which safety, energy efficiency, and technology go hand in hand with the architecture of the future.
