Coast Apartments, Cronulla, NSW

Coast Apartments - a new coastal development in the NSW seaside suburb of Cronulla - show just how cleverly space, light and design integrate and interact with the installation of top-end audiovisual and home automation. ThIs waterfront development comprises four stunning luxury apartments, each occupying an entire floor with individual plunge pools and all with uninterrupted views over the Pacific Ocean.

Entertainment in Smart Wired house

Audiovisual systems

Each apartment included a designated media room. The package contained within this space includes a 50" Pioneer Plasma screen; an Integra home theatre receiver driving Sonance ceiling-mounted speakers (5.1) and a Sonance sub woofer (concealed within joinery).

All equipment contained within the media room is controlled via an RTI T3 portable touch screen remote controller. This is interfaced into the main Crestron Control processor giving the user, via the remote controller, access to the control of house music, lighting, blinds and all other automated systems, even to the point where the owner can release the front door to visitors without leaving the comfort of the lounge, attesting to the benefits of having all systems seamlessly integrated together.

All equipment contained within the media room is controlled via an RTI T3 portable touch screen remote controller. There are a number of other TV locations throughout the apartment, including a 42" plasma located in the retreat, and a wall-mounted LCD in both the master bedroom and kitchen. These are all fed from the main AV location along with Fox decoders and DVDs that are shared amongst the viewing panels.

Future TV locations were included in all the sub bedrooms. All locations containing a viewing panel included an RTI remote control with the very same ability to control all the other systems contained within the apartment.
