Rothelowman

11 Eastern

Architecture can be many things… Nuanced, brutal, elegant, classical. At 11 Eastern in South Melbourne, architects Rothelowman were looking to strike a harmonious balance between bold, unapologetic lines, and refined, sophisticated curves and palette choices. We were chosen for team bold.

AMP Fit-Out

The design intent for the ceiling at AMP was to achieve a linear aluminium batten feature that created directional viewing angles, similar to those that would be achieved when designing with an expanded mesh material.Traditional linear batten systems utilise a suspended ceiling configuration that typically has aluminium battens running perpendicular to their suspended track. To achieve the directional ceiling design, we worked closely with our manufacturing partner to develop a project specific bracket that allowed the aluminium battens to...

State of Play

Arc'teryx

Every façade tells a story, and the new Arc'teryx city store in Melbourne is no exception. The journey began with an ambitious vision from the creative team at State of Play, who dreamt of a storefront that would capture the dramatic, rugged beauty of the Himalayas in an urban setting. To bring this vision to life, they engaged EMAC Construction, who turned to MBS Architectural to help make the design reality — a challenge that called for both expertise and a touch of artistry. And so, our Apollo+ two-piece external batten system took centre stage.

Bates Smart

Ashurst Fit-Out

Sweeping curves, elegant lines and light hues were the order of the day for Bates Smart when they envisaged the fit-out for Ashurst at 80 Collins Street. With a sweeping, curved, multi-level staircase taking centre stage, our Ø25mm tubular batten ceiling complimented the overall design intent perfectly. Fast becoming a trademark, our calling-card so to speak, MBS Architectural assisted Bates in integrating services into dedicated zones, as well as that delicious plasterboard margin detail we’re coming so accustomed to seeing…

Hot Black

Canaccord Fit-Out

Hot Black came to us with a concept – basalt blue aluminium battens, tightly spaced and surrounded by plasterboard margins. We had the solution. Our Apollo aluminium battens in 50 x 25mm at 50mm centres. With oodles of battens, comes a plethora of end caps, right? Wrong. Cue our tried and tested solution of reducing end caps, helping the installer with less precise end cutting, and making the overall design of the ceiling both interesting and unique. By dropping the plasterboard margin by 50mm, we were able to sail our battens over to the top...

Studio 103

Eightcap

Perched high in Melbourne’s iconic Rialto Tower, this fit-out for Eightcap is an exemplar in modern workplace design. Brought to life by Studio 103 and McCormack, this sleek and functional fit-out was designed to reflect Eightcap’s global outlook and core values of adaptability, respect, and innovation. MBS Architectural was proud to collaborate once again with the talented team at Studio 103, supplying our modular Apollo+ Aluminium Batten System across both walls and ceilings. The 50d by 50w batten was paired with a Dulux Charisma Black Ace finish and acoustic backing to meet the design brief: achieve the flattest, ‘blackest’ black possible.

Bates Smart

HSF Fit-Out

Taking homage from the AMP Fit-Out, MBS Architectural designed a shorter cranked blade at tighter spacings to conceal the raft of service above the ceiling. With the blade at an angle, the ceiling aspect appears to change as you move around the space… opening and closing as you walk. Lighting was also a key driver in the architect’s decision to choose a cranked ceiling. They wanted to see randomised pools of light above the ceiling, acting as soft glowing elements juxtaposed to the sharp and angular brutality of the blades...

Woods Bagot & Hassell

NAB Fit-Out

It’s not often a tenant takes occupancy of an entire building, especially when that building is a behemoth like 405 Bourke Street. Well, NAB did exactly that and MBS Architectural were on hand to walk them through their exciting journey. And what a journey it was. The intricacies of a 37-floor client fit-out are mind-numbingly complex. One change in finish or perforation pattern has a knock-on effect throughout the detailing process and one wrong turn can be disastrous. We were able to navigate any changes or obstacles smoothly as we...
