Listening to music that you love can be a very schadenfreude experience ... one of my particular bitter sweet symphonies is Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens.

Like many small business in Melbourne we were locked down and closed the doors for the period to overcome the second wave of Covid 19 that escaped onto Melbourne's streets in July. We had already been in partial staff since March for the first wave.

We are immensely pleased that we are able to open again on Wednesday the 28th October ... it's been a long haul.

The Pole House is a distinctive part of the landscape on the Great Ocean Road here in Victoria. One of Australia's smartest people bought it when it finally came up for sale by the original pylon engineer who had built it initially in the 1960s. Like many people who actually do something really useful for society this gentleman is incredibly modest and unassuming but has an unbridled love for good music and video.

We were called in at the early stages to conceptualise and iterate the audio visual systems and automation. Peculiar to this residence is the fact that the Pole House itself is available for lease to holidaymakers and needs to be able to operate both independantly and contiguously with the new primary residence that has been constructed on the hillside behind it.

The home systems are operated via Control4, this automation product that Carlton Audio Visual has been purveying and installing since 2004 is now Australia's leading home integration system for combining all of your lighting, AV control, HVAC and other functions with elegance and simple accesability.
