Project Overview

This landmark residence in Buderim, QLD, was designed for an executive couple with a strong vision: to create a warm, welcoming family home that embraced both cutting-edge technology and the surrounding natural beauty. The result is a resort-style sanctuary complete with a wraparound pool, sunken firepit, and striking interior elements that nod to the environment such as the bespoke feature wall that mimics natural foliage.

Electronic Living worked closely with Costa Homes, Di Henshall Interior Design and our wonderful clients to deliver a highly considered smart home solution that is both intuitive and architecturally discreet. The Control4 system enables seamless management of lighting, louvres, irrigation, audio visual, and security – all from sleek on-wall keypads, in-wall touch panels, and smart remotes.

The access control system extends beyond the front door, offering garage door, vehicle gate, and pedestrian gate control – all integrated for extra security and convenience. Surveillance cameras positioned throughout the property can be monitored remotely from anywhere in the world via a secure internet connection, offering peace of mind whether home or away. From acoustically treated cinema experiences to resort-style outdoor entertaining, every detail of this home has been elevated through thoughtful integration and a commitment to both luxury and lifestyle.

A key highlight of this project is the dedicated home cinema—a fully immersive space designed for ultimate performance and comfort. Complete with Monitor Audio speakers, JL Audio subwoofers, a 140″ projection screen, and tailored acoustic treatments, the cinema delivers an uncompromising audiovisual experience. The design also includes smart lighting scenes, automated blackout control, and concealed technology to maintain the refined interior aesthetic while offering an extraordinary entertainment escape within the home.

“We built our dream home on the Sunshine Coast and engaged EL for the automation system and cinema design, supply and installation.
