Life Style Store was involved in the building process for this stunning multi-level house from the initial design stage. We worked with the client and Corben Architects to design and deliver a user-friendly high-end home where the daily functions are easily controlled by the Control4 home automation system. The clients are both extremely busy and travel a lot for work so they needed a home that could be managed at the touch of a button from within the home and whilst they were away interstate or overseas. Monitoring the status of the home was also a key requirement.

Entertaining within the home was also of major importance and a premium Custom Home Theatre and multiple Multi-Room Audio-Visual zones were installed which included a selection of high-quality reputable brands to provide sound and pictures throughout the house. Stealth Acoustics “Invisible” speakers have been installed throughout most areas of the home so that the speakers do not impact the visual aesthetics of each room. The external alfresco and garden areas of the home feature multiple in-ceiling and garden speakers for premium sound whilst entertaining.

Control4 plays a major role in the automation of multiple components and is operated from Touchscreens, Portable Tablets, Phones, Remote controls, and many schedules, timers, and sensors.

The Control4 Home Automation System allows the client to have control of:

• Air Conditioning
• Motorised Blinds & Curtains
• Automated Lighting
• Front Door (Monitored by Ness M1 Alarm)
• External Gates & the Boat House (Monitored by Ness M1 Alarm)
• Garage Door (Monitored by Ness M1 Alarm)
• Motorised Television Lifts
• Security Alarm
• Security Cameras

The property also features the following items for managing and monitoring the security of the property:

• A Lilin NVR (Network Video Recorder) for monitoring cameras, integrated through Control49 x Lilin Day & Night Outdoor Security Cameras
• Ness M1 Gold Alarm System
• Control4 Intercom Stations at the Main Entry and Boatshed Entry
• Control4 In-Wall Touch Screens x 7
• Outdoor Lighting Sensors wired to Control4 I/O Extenders

Lighting Control is handled by the latest Control4  “Panelised Lighting System” incorporating more than 170 Relay and Dimmer channels, with over 55 lighting keypads and 7 Control4 touch screens allowing control of each lighting circuit, lighting scene or any other connected device within the home.

A comprehensive fully monitored Pakedge wired and wireless network has been installed within the home to support all of the connected devices we have installed. It includes an advanced router, multiple POE Network switches, and wireless access points to cover all internal and external areas of the home.

This home is another excellent achievement by Life Style Store and an exemplary case of how modern-day living should be.

Regardless of whether these homeowners are at home, interstate or overseas, automation systems provide them with user-friendly control of their home’s various functions

Life Style Store was involved in the building process for this stunning modern-industrial, multi-level house from the initial design stage. The company worked with the client and Corben Architects to design and deliver a user-friendly, high-end home that’s easily controlled by the Control4 home automation system.

The homeowners are both extremely busy and travel a lot for work, so needed a home that could be managed at the touch of a button from within and also while away interstate or overseas. Monitoring the status of the home was also a key requirement. “Functionality and fit for our lifestyle were critical,” explains Cammeray homeowner Libby. “We’re a busy professional couple with several pets, and we travel frequently and like to entertain. Automation means that we can program the house to fit our lifestyle and makes entertaining friends and family really easy.” Libby and her husband requested a family home that works functionally during the week and is relatively low maintenance, but on the weekend is a comfortable, relaxing place in which to unwind. Entertaining within the home was of major importance and a premium custom home theatre and multiple multiroom audio-visual zones were installed with a selection of high-quality, reputable brands to provide sound and pictures throughout the house. Stealth Acoustics ‘invisible’ speakers were installed throughout most areas of the home so that the speakers do not impact the visual aesthetics of each room. The external alfresco and garden areas feature multiple in-ceiling and garden speakers for premium sound when entertaining. Control4 plays a major role in the automation of multiple components and is operated from touchscreens, portable tablets, phones, remote controls, and many schedules, timers, and sensors. The Control4 home automation system allows the homeowners to have control of air conditioning; motorised blinds and curtains; automated lighting; the front door, external gates, garage door, and the boathouse (all monitored by a Ness M1 Alarm); motorised television lifts; and the security alarm and security cameras.

For managing and monitoring the security of the property, the home features a Lilin NVR (network video recorder) for monitoring cameras, integrated through Control4; nine Lilin day and night outdoor security cameras; a Ness M1 Gold alarm system; Control4 intercom stations at the main entry and boatshed entry; seven Control4 in-wall touchscreens and outdoor lighting sensors wired to Control4 I/O extenders. Lighting control is handled by the latest Control4 panelised lighting system incorporating more than 170 relays and dimmer channels. More than 55 lighting keypads and seven Control4 touchscreens allow control of each lighting circuit, lighting scene, or any other connected device within the home.

A comprehensive, fully monitored Pakedge wired and wireless network installed within the home supports all connected devices. It includes an advanced router, multiple POE Network switches, and wireless access points to cover all of the home’s internal and external areas. This amazing home is another excellent achievement by Life Style Store and an exemplary case of how modern living should be. “We actually love all aspects of our home,” says Libby. “The home cinema is great fun and the entertaining areas work really well. “Life Style Store is always responsive and you feel like the team truly wants the best for your project. It is not just another cookie-cutter project — they work hard to achieve your objectives and make sure it works for you. And when things don’t go exactly as planned — which happens on big, complex projects — they are there to troubleshoot the problem. They have a great team and are a pleasure to deal with.”
