A facelift for this busy lobby in St Leonards

201 PACIFIC HIGHWAY

After acquiring 201 Pacific Highway, Abacus felt the foyer needed an upgrade to ensure it presented well to prospective tenants.

As well as being improved aesthetically, the design needed to demarcate and differentiate the foyer from the neighbouring properties.

Sheldon’s design took on an edgy yet professional feel, with the existing timber cladding incorporated into the design. The cladding is complemented by a custom, curved banquet style bench, leather-finished furniture and a digital directory board.

The hero of the space is the LED backlit “201” panelling which can be seen from the road. LED lights were also used to better light up the rest of the space, and cladding over the large column with a mirror finish makes the space appear larger.

Due to the space being a high-traffic area, works took place overnight and on weekends to ensure the space remained operational throughout.

The new foyer design is in line with aim to present the building as a Class A property within the St Leonards CBD.
