99 St Georges Terrace
Project Outline
This mid-rise tower in St Georges Terrace, Perth’s premium commercial street, has been subject to a thorough makeover.
The leasable area for the ground floor tenancies has been increased, and the design includes a new entry to the basement tenancy and a multi-level restaurant and roof garden overlooking a vibrant inner-city urban lane at the rear of the property.
Lighting is fully integrated into the refurbishment. iGuzzini’s Trick 360° was chosen for its crisp graphic effect, projecting an illuminated ‘outline’ of the bold grid. Each façade is fitted with several Trick fittings arranged in a random pattern and programmed to occasionally reset as a different pattern. The subtle animation counterpoints the formal presence of the façade grid, adding further interest to the observant passer-by.
Another fitting from the Trick range, the iGuzzini Trick Washer, illuminates the gold corner screens. This small fitting is recessed into the façade’s extended arm to illuminate the expressive corners of the tower. The façade grid, visually recomposed by the night lighting, is returned to its pearlescent formality during the day. The play between both light sources is a defining feature of the design.
