Battens with Feature Integrated Lighting
356 Collins

The lobby area at 356 Collins in Melbourne’s CBD utilises the flexibility of our Click-on Batten system to meet an ambitious design intent that makes this project shine.
Integrated lights and interior to exterior transitions are just two of the many features Woods Bagot designed for this fantastic foyer.

Integrated feature lights
Integrated lighting is becoming more and more popular, and architects often come to us with ideas as to how to achieve different looks. Woods Bagot has gone a step further and integrated the lights into the individual Click-on Battens.
Grooves were routed into the battens to allow lighting strips to be inserted and wired from behind, this technique allows the lights to complement the existing linear texture, rather than detract from it. You can find out more about integrated lighting features below.


Bringing the inside, out
The lobby of 365 Collins Street uses consistency from the interior ceiling to the exterior soffit to connect both areas. Large front facing windows allow passers-by to see into the lobby, while the soffit brings the incredible aesthetic of the interior out to the street.
Soffits which run from internal areas to external provide a consistent feature throughout a project while protecting the timber from UV radiation therefore eliminating the need for a regular maintenance schedule. More information about achieving low maintenance on external timber can be found in the link below.
