Sophisticated beachfront residences crafted to immerse you in a relaxed coastal lifestyle
It does not get much closer to the beach than stepping out of your apartment building and out on to the shore – a defining factor and driving ethos behind Ora Sorrento. 'What truly sets Ora Sorrento apart is its unique combination of location, design and lifestyle,' Megara Director Jamie Clarke said. 'Perfectly positioned directly across from the beautiful Sorrento Beach, Ora Sorrento boasts uninterrupted beachfront views and a cascading architectural form designed to capture the coastline in both directions. 'It also offers an exclusive resort-style living experience with amenities rivalling a boutique hotel. 'Residents will enjoy a heated ocean-facing pool with sun loungers and cabanas, a private gym, a sauna, a steam room and a stunning wine cellar accessed via a spiral staircase – perfect for intimate wine tastings with family and friends.' A development which so effortlessly blends beach and bedrooms would be remiss to overlook outdoor amenities, which is why Ora Sorrento has invested in an outdoor barbecue area, a putting green and a bocce lawn. 'Adding to its appeal, a cafe and restaurant on the ground level and its close proximity to Sorrento Beach and Hillarys Boat Harbour mean residents are fully immersed in the relaxed coastal lifestyle the area is known for,' Mr Clarke said. 'With construction already underway, Ora Sorrento represents a rare opportunity to secure a truly elevated beachside home in one of Perth's most desirable locations.' The residences themselves boast inclusions echoing this ethos, including spacious wraparound balconies coupled with generously sized floor plans offering seamless indoor/outdoor living. They also feature elevated ceilings, spacious walk-in robes, full-height windows, sustainable high-end finishes and Swiss-made V-ZUG appliances. The development is also provisioned for the future, being crafted to target an average seven-star Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme rating. Intelligent and environmentally minded elements include passive-solar design to maximise natural light and ventilation, an extensive network of integrated gardens with native plants throughout, as well as end-of-trip facilities to encourage bike use over cars, helping residents to reduce their carbon footprint. Mr Clarke said Ora Sorrento also included electric vehicle charging stations, solar panels on the roof and high-performance double glazing. Offering the perfect escape for those seeking a tranquil life by the water, he said you could enjoy the space to truly live and breathe here. 'Located just a short walk to Hillarys Boat Harbour, residents are surrounded by vibrant cafes, restaurants and shopping options,' Mr Clarke said. 'Embrace the best of coastal living by taking a leisurely stroll along the shore, swim in the ocean or hop on a boat to Rottnest Island for the day.' Ora Sorrento is currently 70 per cent sold, with limited two-bedroom options available from $1,745,000, three-bedroom apartments from $2,495,000 and the Cascade Collection penthouses from $3,795,000. 'As construction progresses, the opportunity to customise the remaining residences is gradually coming to a close,' Mr Clarke said. 'Depending on the apartment's location, there is still a limited window for purchasers to select from three coastal-inspired colour schemes to suit their personal style.' Ora Sorrento has been designed around the concept of barefoot luxury, with stunning resort-style amenity spaces, opulent materials, high-end interiors and inspiring forever views.

First Smart Home Full-Link Ecosystem Launched
GUANGZHOU, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On July 8, 2025, Heungkong Group and Tantron Group (TTG) co-hosted the Global Smart Ecosystem Summit (GSES) in Guangzhou, unveiling a historic leap for the smart home sector. The summit highlighted three industry-first breakthroughs: the world's inaugural interoperable, multi-protocol, and multi-scenario full-link smart ecosystem; unprecedented collaboration among 20+ global top-tier brands; and the launch of the Global Smart Ecosystem Initiative, a consensus-based framework endorsed by industry leaders. Ending Silos: Universal Gateway Technology Breaks Compatibility Limits For years, fragmented standards and protocol incompatibility have stifled smart home innovation. Heungkong Group, TTG, and global giants—including Switzerland's V-ZUG, Germany's Gaggenau, and Japan's Panasonic—have now broken the deadlock with their Universal Gateway technology. The solution bridges Matter, PLC, and Zigbee protocols, enabling real-time, cross-brand device synchronization. TTG founder Yao Minghai compared the system to a "polyglot translator", allowing devices that "speak different languages" to work seamlessly together. Tan Jianrong of the Chinese Academy of Engineering called the shift from single-device intelligence to full-link ecosystem intelligence a "transformative leap"—paralleling the evolution from feature phones to smartphones. Heungkong No.1: World's First Ecosystem Demonstration Project Launches The Heungkong No.1 project has established three industry-firsts: cross-brand scenario-level device integration; full-lifecycle smart home service platform; and deep AI self-learning integration into home ecosystems. This innovation sets a new global standard for smart living. Mei Hing Chak, Chairwoman of Heungkong Group, stated, "We've combined German Industrie 4.0 precision, Swiss craftsmanship, and Chinese innovation to create a new future for smart living." Xu Xiaojian from Gaggenau announced the brand's first-ever full-link ecosystem integration, with dual support for Matter and Heungkong No.1 protocols. Driving Global Standards: China's Vision Gains International Backing The summit achieved unprecedented global alignment: Yves Leterme, former Belgian Prime Minister and Honorary Dean of Heungkong No.1 Future Life Art Institute, publicly endorsed the initiative; V-ZUG launched weekly technical exchanges with Chinese partners—a first for the Swiss manufacturer; while ASKO celebrated the collaboration as " Nordic engineering meets next-generation Chinese platform design ". More than 20 heritage brands—including Gaggenau, V-ZUG, ASKO, and Panasonic—jointly unveiled the Global Joint Initiative on Full-Link Smart Home Ecosystems. The China-proposed framework establishes 10 principles addressing interoperability, user data ownership, and sustainable technology. Professor Jin Sheng, AI ethics authority, highlighted its integration of "transparency, controllability, and explainability"—calling it "essential for ethical AI advancement."
