SUMMARY: BSE received a Lighting Commendation Award for our work on the Southpoint End of Trip facility at 275 Grey Street, Brisbane. Our Brisbane team was engaged by Rhombus PM to provide electrical, mechanical, fire protection, and hydraulic engineering design services for this EOT, located within a building home to tenants such as Virgin Australia and Flight Centre.

OVERVIEW

The Southpoint End of Trip facility at 275 Grey Street, Brisbane, located within a building home to tenants such as Virgin Australia and Flight Centre, opened at the end of 2023. The project presented several challenges due to the constrained site, which was originally a carpark. One of the standout features is a series of custom light boxes installed above the bike racks, introducing lighting elements typically reserved for high-end interiors and raising the benchmark for EOT facilities.

SCOPE DELIVERED

Our Brisbane team was engaged by Rhombus PM to provide electrical, mechanical, fire protection, and hydraulic engineering design services for this EOT.

RESULTS

BSE received a Lighting Commendation Award for our work on the Southpoint End of Trip facility. 

Organised by IESANZ – The Lighting Society, the Lighting Awards provide a unique opportunity for public and industry recognition of professionalism, ingenuity, and originality in lighting applications and technology.

The award was received on behalf of BSE by Tim O’Regan, Associate Director – Interiors & Refurbishments QLD and our project lead. Tim shared:

“From arrival, it is clear that the Southpoint EOT offers something distinct. Visitors are immediately greeted by a striking backlit glass brick wall, illuminated by colour-changing LED strips that shift in coordination with other lighting elements to create a dynamic and ever-changing visual experience. A key consideration was ensuring compliant lighting levels across the space, regardless of the colour setting. For example, red light alone could not meet minimum lighting levels, so supplementary lighting was introduced to meet code requirements.

BSE and the design team had to take special care with the backlighting of the glass brick wall. This required a significant amount of sampling, prototyping, and coordination. A key requirement was serviceability. BSE worked with Luxon and Digilin to develop a solution where flexible LED strips were housed in custom channels, allowing individual sections to be removed from the top and replaced if required.”

BSE is proud to have contributed to this striking EOT facility, together with our project partners Knight Frank, Rhombus, Quadric, Loop Creative, Whatalec, and Lo-fi.

A special shout-out to Urban Aluminium, who presented our award.
