Today’s Young Urban Professionals Lean on Smart Technologies for Their First Homes

Millennials, now upwardly mobile young urban professionals, are asserting independence and eagerly stepping into homeownership. For me, watching this shift feels like witnessing a generation redefine what “home” means. Gone are the days when location and design alone shaped decisions. Today’s yuppies seek convenience and modernity, preferring spaces powered by smart technologies that integrate seamlessly into their daily routines.

Today’s Young Urban Professionals Lean on Smart Technologies for Their First Homes

It’s not only these new homeowners who are embracing change. Established Filipino families, much like mine, are also looking to upgrade their homes with solutions that respond quickly to the demands of fast-paced lifestyles. In this, I see echoes of our own “Unli Dapa” philosophy—adapting, rising, and moving forward with tools that make life smoother and safer.

Modern Products for Modern Homes


Smart technologies today go far beyond small kitchen appliances. Companies like Philips have introduced innovations that blend style, convenience, and efficiency, keeping pace with modern living.

With cybercrime on the rise, safety and security have become top priorities. Philips has launched smart door locks and smart safes to meet this essential need.


  • The Series 9000 features three smart cameras, palm vein recognition, 3D face unlock, and a magnetic charging port.
  • The IP65-certified 8000 series offers remote unlocking, mute, and indoor quick-open switch capabilities, all operable via the Philips gateway and app.
  • The 7000 series provides palm vein or facial recognition for touch-free convenience, radar motion detection, and a 4-inch LCD display to start two-way audio conversations with guests outside.


  • The 6000 and 5000 series combine secure biometric fingerprint unlocking with a stylish design.
  • Features include electronic telescopic handles, Wi-Fi connectivity, and two-factor authentication, adding layers of protection for valuable assets.

Beyond safety, Philips also brings delight to everyday living. Compact Bluetooth speakers add flair and sound quality to modern homes:

  • The TAS2307 Bluetooth Speaker offers three multicolored light modes, rich bass from its passive radiator, and a relaxing ambiance for winding down after a long day.
  • The TAS5819 Wireless Speaker elevates karaoke nights with True Wireless Stereo, deep 65Hz bass, 30W output, and a vibrant RGB light show.

A Committed Partner to Homeowners


As more young professionals enter the workforce and the homeowner market, they can look forward to Philips Smart Home products that deliver convenience, efficiency, and safety while adding flair to their spaces. For me, this reflects a commitment not just to technology but to the evolving needs of families, helping us build homes that nurture resilience, joy, and connection.

With smart technologies at the heart of its innovation, Philips remains a trusted partner in modern homes and lifestyles.

Philips products are available at the L Smart Lounge at GH Mall and Ayala Malls Solenad, the Larx Trading website, and the Philips Home Access Flagship Store in Lazada.
