PROJECT SPOTLIGHT Basements have long been under

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Basements have long been underutilized spaces in buildings, often relegated to storage or parking. However, Architects and Designers are reimagining basements as dynamic, multi-purpose spaces. One such innovative project is this end-of-trip facility at 163 North Quay, Brisbane, where architectural lighting plays a pivotal role in transforming these subterranean spaces into inviting, functional, and safe environments.

Architects have recognized that basements are ideal locations for these facilities, offering ample space and proximity to building entrances. However, to make these subterranean areas appealing, safe, and functional, architectural lighting becomes an essential component of the design.

Lighting is not just about functionality; it also sets the mood. In an end-of-trip facility, the right lighting can create a welcoming ambiance, making users feel comfortable and at ease. Warm, inviting lighting can transform a cold basement into a cozy retreat.

End-of-trip facilities showcase how architectural lighting can transform basement spaces into functional, attractive, and safe environments. By prioritizing safety, ambiance, functionality, and energy efficiency, architects and designers are not only meeting the practical needs of users but also contributing to the city’s architectural innovation and sustainability goals.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

The Calile Hotel brings an unprecedented luxury resort experience to Brisbane’s urban centre. Architects Richards and Spence “looked towards other hot weather cities, like Miami, Palm Springs, Rio De Janeiro and Mexico City to inform the hotels resort focused design.” A deliberate choice was made to forgo the traditional corporate market and style focused on by other CBD based hotels. Instead, the 175 room hotel makes the most of Brisbane’s balmy climate with naturally ventilated rooms, open-air garden corridors, large windows and the focus on communal spaces. With the hotel wrapped around a central pool, which is flanked by private yet breezy cabanas and outdoor dining.

The Calile Hotel sets a new standard in inner city hotel design, with a “tropical vernacular” established through the use of generous gardens, curved ceilings and archways, suspended mezzanines and a warm colour palette. The hotel’s rooms and suites are bounding with personality, split into monotone pink, blue or green colour palettes, complimented by brass, cork and timber fittings and fixtures.

Caribou worked closely with Richards and Spence to deliver a range of lighting products to complement the well-conceived space. Working within a pared back colour palette of black and brass and sleek modern style products, the lighting design focus turned to the use of repetition to create impact. Each product was chosen to blend into and enhance the space, rather than make an individual statement. Caribou are proud to have worked on such a stunning, highly detailed project with a large range of top class suppliers and clients.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT Located in Brisbane, “Uxbridg

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Located in Brisbane, “Uxbridge house is the quintessential family home,” says Tim Stewart Architects.

Spanning two levels and situated on a 400-square-metre site, Uxbridge house is a fresh take on the classic Queenslander.

Generally, a Queenslander home is a weatherboard house with battens underneath.

Tim Stewart sought to flip this by placing battens on the upper level to protect the home from sun exposure and ensure privacy.

The lower level, while still weatherboard, now sits on a darker base below.

As Stewart’s own home, Uxbridge house is designed for a growing family and achieves this by relying on a no-fuss approach.

Decked out in timber from IDEA sponsor Tongue & Groove, Uxbridge house is warm and compatible with the everyday happenings of family life.

Moving outside, the property rests along a bike path that travels up and out through many of Brisbane’s northern suburbs.

This geography provides the home with a definition, with “the greenbelt slicing through the inner suburb Grange,” explains Stewart.

“The public edges of the park and bike path influenced the layout of the home.

“The living, dining and kitchen area is a gathering space that has the opportunity to interact with neighbours and the community.

“As a completed entity, Uxbridge House gives beyond the family and out to the surrounding neighbourhood.”

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

This project showcases the impressive architectural lighting installation at a duplex located in the scenic coastal suburb of Buddina, Queensland. The project aimed to elevate the aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability of both indoor and outdoor spaces through carefully curated lighting solutions.
The lighting design concept was centered on three key principles:

Enhancing Aesthetics: To illuminate architectural features, accentuate design elements, and create visually stunning effects both indoors and outdoors.

Optimizing Functionality: To ensure adequate task lighting, adequate brightness, and well-lit spaces for various activities.

Emphasizing Sustainability: By incorporating energy-efficient lighting solutions and integrating natural lighting sources.

The installation at the Buddina project successfully demonstrates how the strategic use of lighting can transform a residential space into a captivating and inviting haven. The harmonious interplay of indoor and outdoor lighting has not only enhanced the aesthetics and functionality of the duplex but also contributed to sustainability and energy efficiency, making it a truly remarkable showcase of modern lighting design.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT At the Sir James Foots Buildi

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

At the Sir James Foots Building (University of Queensland, St Lucia), we recently embarked on an exciting project to modernise the informal learning spaces. Teaming up with Drummond Architecture and Innerspace (QLD), our objective was to bring to life the custom LED desk lamps that not only enhanced the oversall design of the space, but also create a sense of intimacy and focus at the desks.

The concept design of the lamp was produced by Justine Drummond (Drummond Architecture).
