Designed by Wellard Architects the foyer of 570 St Kilda Road in Melbourne, Australia exudes elegance. With sinuous curves and a protruding dome timber profile, the area is an inviting space to all who enter.
A beautiful curved timber screen dominates the space and is used to lead customers through the foyer of the building.
The curves of the timber battens in dome profiles contrast well with the glossy black tilled feature pillars, which are also domed but on a much larger scale. The different surfaces work well together whilst shining on their own, the glossy black surface provides a striking contrast to the timber and adds interest to the space.
Free Standing Screens
Screens are used throughout the design, linking complementary areas and allowing for easy navigation and visual fluidity.
The screens also break up the heaviness of walls clad with tightly spaced battens, as the increased space between battens allows for a change in pattern and design variation. Domed timber dowels are used as the screen and bring class and elegance to the space, making a great first impression as people first enter.
Curved Walls
The walls surrounding the foyer are curved, encasing the space and providing a sense of intimacy as well as grandeur. Whilst the battens have dome profiles as well, this trend of curves mixes well together.
