An exclusive event venue requires more than beautiful halls and a lush garden. It also needs a building that thinks along with you. One that creates the right atmosphere at the right moment, supports the staff, and offers guests an experience they will not soon forget.
Hemels & Aarde, the new high-end event venue in Merendree, chose installer Alektro and Qbus home automation to technically support their story. The result is an intelligent building that is every bit as refined as the venue itself.
The challenge: atmosphere, comfort, and control in one venue
Hemels & Aarde is no ordinary event hall. The venue includes a large event space of 300 m², an atmospheric upstairs room of 150 m², a bright conservatory of 110 m², a suite on the second floor, and a lush garden, no less than 5,000 m². Each space has its own character, function, and technical requirements.
In addition, Hemels & Aarde hosts a wide range of events: from intimate wedding dinners to large-scale corporate events for 500 guests, from stylish receptions to cultural gatherings. This requires a system that switches smoothly between atmospheres, controls each space separately, and is easy for staff to operate.
The request was clear: provide a flexible, scalable installation that technically anchors the luxurious appeal of the venue, both now and in the future.
Qbus, the ideal choice for a high-end event venue
Qbus home automation offers exactly the balance a demanding event venue needs. The system is modular, allowing each space to be configured individually without losing sight of the whole. Via the intuitive Qbus Control app, the Hemels & Aarde team manages the entire installation from a single screen, including remotely.
Flexibility is in Qbus’s DNA. The installation can start with a basic setup and be expanded step by step as the venue’s needs grow.
Lighting that defines the atmosphere
In an event venue, lighting is not a side issue; it is the foundation of the experience. Qbus controls all lighting points in Hemels & Aarde via DALI modules, allowing each space to be transformed at the touch of a button from a ceremony setting to a party atmosphere, from a business meeting environment to an intimate dining setting.
How Qbus contributes to the Hemels & Aarde experience
An event venue becomes truly special when everything is just right. The right lighting, a seamless transition from ceremony to celebration, these are the details guests remember, even if they never see the technology behind the scenes.
Qbus makes exactly that possible: a building that manages itself, responds to what the moment requires, and gives the Hemels & Aarde team the freedom to focus on what truly matters, the guest experience.
