Smart buildings
require smart identities
How smart identity systems create buildings that are safer, simpler, and seamlessly connected
As buildings become smarter, the connection between people, places, and technology becomes critical. Seamless identity management and secure access don't just protect — they elevate the entire building experience. This campaign illustrates that shift, with K8 in Stavanger as the central example.
A landmark built for the future
K8 stands in the heart of Stavanger as a new kind of building — designed for leading companies and built on the principle that architecture, technology, and security should work as one.
To make that vision real, Sotera and Caverion collaborated to deliver a complete identity and access management solution that connects every part of the building.
In collaboration with leading partners
The K8 project demonstrates how expertise combines to create smart buildings. Base Properties developed the building and engaged Caverion to deliver integrated security systems. Newsec manages day-to-day operations. Sotera provided the identity platform and access control hardware that power the solution.
The outcome: a building where security works seamlessly in the background.

Challenge one - Design meets security
Premium buildings shouldn't have to choose between aesthetics and security. Yet most access readers are visually intrusive, lack proper certification, and are manufactured outside Europe.
The answer? Readers designed with both form and function in mind — European-made, award-winning in design, and built to the highest security standards. Access control that respects architecture and delivers trust.
Challenge two - Multiple tenants, one smooth process
Managing access for multiple tenants typically means manual processes. Each card order goes through the facility manager — creating administrative work and waiting time for tenants.
Breeze changes this dynamic. Tenants order cards directly from their own portal, selecting from predefined access levels controlled by the building. Administration is reduced. Tenants move faster. Security is maintained.
Explore Breeze — the platform behind it all
Modern buildings need identity management that is secure, fast, and user-friendly. Breeze delivers that through a cloud-based platform for issuing and administering credentials — physical cards, mobile access, and more. It connects tenants, facility teams, and security systems in one unified solution, with full oversight and the flexibility of delegated self-service.
