Project Overview
Another Bates Smart fit-out, another epic staircase and ceiling combination. This time, angles and bright colour combinations rule the roost. Where Bates’ Ashurst Fit-Out was all about curves and softness, HSF followed a more crisp and angular design intent.
Taking homage from the AMPFit-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. A daring piece of integration that simply works.
Our signature plasterboard margin detail was once again featured here, with the cranked blades effortlessly floating over the plaster upstands. And if you were wondering, yes, the base building metal pan ceiling is part of the 44,000m² MBS Architectural supplied at 80 Collins Street.
