"town planning"

Winner of Australian House of the Year at the 2019 Houses Awards, its no surprise that Daylesford Longhouse is an endearing building. A boutique farm, garden kitchen, cooking school, reception venue and a home consolidated within a single 110 l/m metre shed, clad almost entirely in Wonderglas GC. Set minutes from the idyllic town of Daylesford in central Victoria, the elevated property looks out over vast plains and bush land across Daylesford, Hepburn Springs and Mt Franklin. Revitalising the pastoral shed of yesteryear, the industrial structure sits on minimal footings with a gravel floor. The Longhouse is built to passive house standards with very few heating and cooling inputs and provision for solar paneling and battery storage.

Touchless security entrances allow organizations to control access while providing employees and guests a hands-free, germ-free entry experience. With over 10,000 touchless security entrances already in service around the globe, we have the expertise to help you improve your physical security plan. Entrances also integrate with access control systems and biometric devices for a seamless entry process that mitigates unauthorized entry. Why is touchless entry important? As the world changes and we begin to live with "social distancing" in mind, organizations are finding ways to make their buildings "touchless." And this shift impacts the entry.

To address the challenge arose from an active shooter incident and the need for a new physical security plan with a focus on lobby security, Boon Edam has offered a unique solution by adding a screening area at the front of the lobby. Once a visitor is cleared, they walk through a Tourlock security revolving door to enter main lobby. Another security revolving door was installed for one-way exit out of the main lobby. The benefits of the solution include: added layer of security between screening area and main lobby; bullet-resistant glass and other materials protect against a gun attack; Prevention of unauthorized entry through security door into main lobby; and seamless integration of physical security entrances with modern building design.
