Senior interior designer Rupal Parikh, of Spowers Architects, re-designs the Australia Post’s head office in Melbourne, Australia, with technical expertise from Thorn. Rupal knew she had a fantastic office design for Australia Post’s head office in Melbourne, Australia, but required the technical expertise from Thorn to help bring her design to light.

"Lighting is a very important part of my design work, and when working to enhance special material, we require a different approach to lighting."

Rupal realised her design brief, which called for discreet lighting and a receptive atmosphere, through the use of dimmable fluorescents in the pelmets and low voltage in the ceiling and recessed boxes.

Dimming controls were also used for the former, while Multilights provided clean, square, minimalist appearances with adjustable l.v beams. "The result looks fantastic", Parikh remarked.

Electrical work was carried out by Meinhardts Consulting and Elecraft Pty Ltd.
