Footscray is a vibrant suburb found five kilometres west of Melbourne’s central business district. Known for its rich cultural diversity and eclectic dining scene, Footscray offers a dynamic blend of old-world charm and modern urban living.
Victoria Square Apartments provides a snapshot of the changing face of Melbourne’s inner west – built on a former commercial site, the mixed-use development will eventually total six towers featuring offices, retail and over one thousand apartments.
A public space provides access to businesses on the northern side of tower one and two. Adequate illumination along the pathways and ramps was needed to ensure safety, security and accessibility for pedestrians.
Advanced Lighting Technologies supplied the elegant Arcluce Soul180 Urban Bollard, providing high-quality illumination while complementing the aesthetic of the development.
Built tough to withstand the urban environment and standing 3.5m tall, the Soul180 Urban was supplied with a warm correlated colour temperature of 3000K, projecting an inviting atmosphere across the walkways and open spaces at Victoria Square.
Advanced Lighting Technologies also provided the Arcluce Tito55 Spiked Floodlight to illuminate trees throughout the space, bringing an added sense of sophistication to the complex’s modern look and feel.
