The gate can be accessed via remote control and one's mobile phone. The home also features a natural, smart vertical garden with built-in irrigation that one's smartphone can power. Barima asserts that the taps open in the morning by themselves to water the garden.

The gardens are not the only smart feature of the house. The wiring, ceiling, curtain, speakers, blinds, and air conditioning are all automated. Barima explains that the idea behind full automation is that people can be in one part of the house and control everything else.

In the video, he demonstrates how one can turn off the lights and open the home's curtains by speaking into the phone.

Barima explained in the video that he decided to adopt smart features in the homes he builds because he believes that is where the world is headed.
