Memorialised Kerstin Thompson Architects have won the Victorian Chapter of the 2023 AIA Awards, in the Public Architecture Category for The Melbourne Holocaust Museum. A huge thank you to Bettina Easton from Cundall for choosing Colab Lighting to supply the luminaires.
Illuminated knowledge - Housing an incredible collection of eyewitness testimonies, historical documents, and artefacts, light was used with intent and as a medium, welcoming individuals, but also as a metaphor, illuminating the knowledge held within the learning centre.
Connections - Track lighting helps guide you through the intentionally designed labyrinth of confronting realities, spotlighting images, artefacts, and documents of the time.
Subtle light - Thoughtfully placed downlights subtly illuminated the hallways with just enough light for guiding vision, without distracting from the sobering notations displayed.
Light separation - Walls and ceilings in the atriums and platformed staircases are toped with Neon Flex to divide the timber lined surfaces, creating a linear path.
Honoured - Colab Lighting is honoured to be alongside the names of Kerstin Thompson Architects, McCorkell Constructions, and Cundall 'Lighting Designer' during the construction of the Heritage listed Melbourne Holocaust Museum.
A Winning Collaboration Kerstin Thompson Architects Winner for the Melbourne Holocaust Museum, Victorian Chapter of the 2023 AIA Awards, in Public Architecture Category. Colab Lighting is honoured to be part of the project.
