Life Style Store is proud of its work on this stunning Central Coast holiday home and worked closely with the builder, Ginardi Projects, and interior designer Greg Natale to deliver a stunning integrated home theatre and audio-visual system.
The purpose of the build was for this family of four and their pets to have a holiday house, which will eventually become their retirement home, just a short drive from Sydney. The project brief was to build a Hamptons-style country estate that was to remain timeless so that the family always has a place to come together and enjoy each other’s company. Major obstacles faced included building the house on a steeply sloping landscape.
“It is a unique style of home that is uncommon in Sydney and even in Australia,” explains builder Luigi Ginardi of Ginardi Projects. “It is a project that has been designed and built to last through the ages.”
In the home theatre, materials and colours were chosen and designed by Jamie Dimech from Life Style Store and Greg Natale from Greg Natale Designs, who collaborated on the room’s layout. The impact of the home theatre had to be minimal on the rest of the house. Special design considerations were to incorporate a separate concrete slab for the theatre to sit on, with expansion joints to minimise the impact of bass from the subwoofers on the rest of the house; acoustic brick ties to reduce vibration and noise transfer throughout the house; and heavy insulation, rubber dampening mats and triple-layer plasterboard ceilings.
The property does not contain full automation but features AV throughout the control of the TVs, home theatre, and speakers, courtesy of Life Style Store. “My dealings with Life Style Store were great,” says Luigi, who admits that his favourite part of the home is the billiards room. “On a whole, there weren’t really any issues or problems and when there were, Life Style Store was positive in its approach to resolve issues. They put the customers’ needs first, even if it means replacing items at their own cost upfront until issues with manufacturers and their warranties are sorted. Life Style Store has a great team with great customer relations.”

The Life Style Store History
The Life Style Store first opened its doors in February 2002 in the Riverbank complex in Parramatta. It was started by three individuals with a passion for quality home and car entertainment products. Having had vast experience within Australia’s largest car audio retailer at the time, the staff were determined to take that experience and develop a business that could take the home theatre and car audio experience to another level.
In mid-2004, the Riverbank complex was sold and the company relocated to its current premises at The Junction in North Parramatta where we have been for over 16 years. Over time the showroom has been expanded to include 17 home entertainment demonstration rooms.
In 2021 a further expansion was commenced to showcase a simulated fully automated home and new Automotive categories. The showroom’s vast array of demonstration rooms and facilities allow you to audition the true home and car entertainment experience as well as home automation systems before making your purchasing decision.
Life Style Store’s retail showroom is based in the fast-growing Western Suburbs/Hills region of Sydney, however the store services customers from all over Sydney and Regional New South Wales.
Whilst a competitive price is always of importance, the quality and suitability of the product are even more important and that is the mantra of the Life Style Store. We will design the right system with the correct components to provide you with the performance and functionality to suit your needs. We are also focused on providing you with the best available products on the market for your requirements, so we have made the conscious decision to not import our own brands so that we can remain impartial. We offer a wide range of products from a carefully selected range of brands which we offer without any bias other than towards their performance, reliability, and value-for-money. You won’t find any low-quality brands at the Life Style Store. Vinod, the company’s co-founder says: “We plan to be here for a long time, so don’t want to waste our time on poor quality products. We want our customers to come back and recommend us to their friends.”
