“A testament to minimalist lighting design”

Embracing a delicate balance between simplicity and the accentuation of interior features, the revamped lobby and forecourt of iconic Australia Place in Perth is a testament to minimalist lighting design. The project’s emphasis on capturing the essence of materials and creating a welcoming ambience through low level lighting mirrors the commitment to a harmonious integration of form and function.

MLP worked closely with the specifiers to carefully curate a selection of lights to achieve the project vision. Lumino V20 played a pivotal role in grazing light across the stone above the lifts, employing its graze optic to illuminate and enhance the stone. The Modular Charlatan Track Spot was chosen for its wide optic capabilities, casting a spotlight on the reception’s artwork. Meanwhile, B4 FOURline and B4 FOURdark were enlisted to graze stone cladding and create general ambience with ultra-low glare downlights. The exterior terrace received a touch of sophistication through the use of Lumino V20 IP67 LED strip lighting. The pièce de résistance, however, was the 144 suspended bronze tube pendant feature via B4 FOURtube, a bespoke solution meticulously crafted by the MLP-M department to match the architect’s specific requirements.

The lighting design transcends mere functionality, playing a pivotal role in enhancing the overall spatial experience. The project’s interior, characterized by a darker color palette, finds its rhythm through carefully placed lighting that captures and amplifies the beauty of feature materials. The interplay between light and shadow adds depth and texture to the space, creating a dynamic atmosphere that evolves throughout the day. Australia Place, invites patrons to immerse themselves in an environment where every detail is purposefully highlighted. Beyond the functional aspects, the lighting design becomes an integral part of the narrative, contributing to the unique character of the space. This deliberate integration of lighting solutions speaks to the project’s commitment to delivering an experience that goes beyond the visual, engaging visitors on a sensory level.

The 144-feature pendant cluster, a custom creation by MLP-M, exemplifies the bespoke nature of our custom offerings. The collaborative process allowed architects to fine-tune details such as rod suspension lengths and finish selection, showcasing the flexibility and tailored approach of MLP-M’s custom designs. Through communication with the architect and electrical consultant, MLP ensured a highly effective lighting solution, from beam angles to LED strip coffer details and driver allocations. Additionally, the seamless delivery of goods, complete with clear product labelling, underscored our commitment to a smooth and efficient process, enhancing the overall success of the project.
