Medland Metropolis provided mechanical, electrical, fire and hydraulic services for the BMW Showroom. The facility offers a spectacular display over 2,500sqm of the luxury BMW product range, as well as conveys the brand values of lifestyle, fun, movement, technology, dynamics and luxury.

The simplicity of the building is given drama by the great volume of the main space and careful attention to lighting design, which showcases the cars as part of the architectural experience. Medland Metropolis services design included a structurally glazed façade, with a time clock controlled VRV air conditioning system, and photoelectric cell control of the perimeter lighting, which monitors and adjusts according to daylight penetration into the showroom.

BMW SHOWROOMARCHITECT TURNER AND ASSOCIATES MASTER BUILDERS ASSOCIATION AWARD FOR COMMERCIAL PROJECT

The Building Services Authority (BSA) appointed Medland Metropolis to design and provide documentation for the fitout of their office, which incorporated electrical, mechanical, fire, specialist lighting, communications and security services. The majority of the office area is located in a unique double volume space and is set out in an open plan environment. There is a mix of client and internal meeting areas including conference and training rooms, a communal staff café and shower and change facilities.

The unusually high ceiling gave Medland Metropolis the opportunity to utilise bold services elements, particularly for specialist lighting. Large, specifically designed lamps are hung from the blacked-out ceiling, creating an impressive illusion of a non-existent ceiling. Medland Metropolis worked with the architect and interior designer to create an office environment that is distinctive and focuses on improving client service and the future growth for BSA.

This achievement was further recognised at the IES Lighting Awards, at which the BSA fitout received a prestigious Award of Excellence.

KPMG engaged Medland Metropolis, together with Resource Coordination Partnership (RCP) and HASSELL to design the fitout for their office in Riparian Plaza, Brisbane. The fitout consisted of five levels, incorporating meeting/conference rooms, break-out spaces, offices, reception area and cafes. Specialist lighting was a key focal on this project to create the vision of a relaxed and communicative workplace, with focus primarily on shared spaces, rather than individual offices.

VIRGIN AUSTRALIA HEAD OFFICE ARCHITECT COTTEE PARKERPROJECT MANAGER SAVILLS (PREVIOUSLY INCOLL PROJECT MANAGEMENT)AREA 12,500sqm

As the National Head Office for Virgin Australia, the “Virgin Village Workplace” covers 3 buildings, creating a campus culture across the site located at Bowen Hills (Brisbane). A consistent design theme needed to be reflected throughout, requiring a high level of coordination by Medland Metropolis.

The architectural integration of the lighting design was paramount. The use of pendant lights, floor lighting and task lighting meant that there was a minimal amount of exposed conduit required so as to not distract from the exposed architectural surfaces. The lighting truly enhances the space giving the headquarters the desired flair of this innovative leader in passenger aviation. The ground floor of Building A created a challenge with no ceilings in the corridors. Medland Metropolis came up with an extremely sleek lighting in the form of long runs of low level extrusions in corridors, which guide you through the space, creating a runway effect. Combined with the large, bold feature pendants, this runway lighting evoked a level of sophistication appropriate to the glamour of travel in the new world.

The inherent volume of the buildings was maximised by employing a warehouse feel in the open plan workspaces, expressing exposed concrete ceilings and columns and utilising suspended linear fluorescent light fittings for direct and indirect lighting. Ambient lighting supported by sufficient task lighting meets the appropriate regulatory lux levels and yet provides moody and pleasing aesthetic. The combination of task lighting with moody ambient light and the runway lighting effect are uniquely comforting combinations.

Energy efficiency is achieved with the use of motion sensors, ensuring that lights go out when a room is not in use. There are also daylight sensors around the perimeter of the building which switch off the lights when set light levels are sufficient. A control system in operation ensures that lights are switched on/off as required and are not switched on in unoccupied spaces.

NORTON ROSE ARCHITECT CARR DESIGN BUILDER BUILT

One One One Eagle Street, in Brisbane’s ‘Golden Triangle’, has rapidly become a premium location for leading Australian and International businesses. With this in mind, Medland Metropolis completed the Due Diligence, Benchmarking and, ultimately, design and documentation of Mechanical, Electrical and Environmental (NABERS and Green Star), for Norton Rose’s office fitout, occupying 5 floors of this building.

Our engineering design was focused on providing a quality luxury environment, in which services are rich and seamless, reflecting the professionalism and integrity of Norton Rose. Environmentally Sustainable Design was a top priority at all stages of this fitout and Medland Metropolis ensured that all services design was undertaken to meet the 5 Star Green Star and 5 Star NABERS ratings targeted for the space, as well as coordinating the submissions themselves.

Medland Metropolis designed a lighting system which makes use of energy efficient LED fittings, zoning and motion sensitivity, coupled with a fully addressable lighting control system, to minimise energy drain by lighting and to ensure that spaces are only lit when they are in use, reducing unnecessary power consumption.

The air conditioning system designed by Medland Metropolis met a number of challenges, including the internal staircase linking all five floors of the fitout and also to take into account the needs of the space’s Green Wall, a living entity with specific requirements of its environment.

The end result of this is an office space of a quality which echoes the exceptional standards maintained by Norton Rose.

The University of Queensland’s Global Change Institute is Australia’s first successful use of a 3 stage passive wheel system to achieve comfort cooling in a sub-tropical climate. The Institute will be a minimum 6 Star Green Star Designed and Built certified building and will be designed to encourage and guide broader campus wide changes. Our client’s brief was to provide a carbon neutral building with zero net energy, and zero net water, which uses no combustion, or ODP refrigerants, yet still provides thermal comfort. The Medland Metropolis team assisted in achieving these targets through the following examples of innovative engineering:

Our mechanical team assisted in the design of a passive system, calculated to provide natural ventilation to the building for 88% of the year and incorporating: » Activated thermal mass » Dynamic facade sun shading » Draught/thermal chimney

For the remaining 12% of the year, the Medland Metropolis mechanical team designed an active thermal comfort system, incorporating » Thermal labyrinth » Free energy air-handler – utilising 3 energy recovery wheels » Displacement floor air distribution » Bio-filtration green wall » In-slab hydronic cooling

The renewable electrical systems of the Global Change Institute include » Solar panels » Wind turbines » Lift regeneration » 160kW solar array

In addition to the above, the Global Change Institute also makes use of the following initiatives in order to maximise the building’s sustainability: » Zinc bromide battery storage system » Time controlled power outlets to switch off after hours » Low-energy LED and compact fluorescent lighting systems » Motion and photo-sensitive sensors

Additionally, the regenerative lift features specialist, low-power lighting to indicate the building’s energy consumption

Tying all of these services together is a Building Management System which automatically controls each space, and integrates each of the sustainable initiatives in the design into a truly inspiring green building environment. This brief sets a new benchmark for the Brisbane climate, and its market, while the building itself will be a beacon for sustainability throughout both the University Campus and South East Queensland.

FRANGIPANI APARTMENTS, GOLD COASTCLIENT WINDERS DEVELOPMENT ARCHITECT BUREAU PROBERTS

Frangipani Apartments was developed by Winders Developments, as a high end, luxury apartment building located at Palm Beach on the Gold Coast. The development comprises six apartments in total (one per floor with a two level penthouse) together with a two-level basement carpark and passenger lift.

Medland Metropolis was engaged to perform mechanical, electrical (including dry fire, security and communications) and specialty lighting services in a design and documentation capacity.

The lighting was specifically selected to provide a high quality, modern and luxurious appearance, whilst still remaining within a specific budget. Special consideration was given to integrate the lighting with the architectural features to provide a clean and crisp finish. The use of low level wall lights in corridors and concealed lighting elements in bathrooms provided a quality solution. The lighting was automated with a C-bus lighting control system, with the ability for end users to upgrade the facilities upon purchase of the apartments.

The selection of the light fittings and air-conditioning systems needed to take into consideration the seaside location and associated weather conditions. Air-conditioning grilles were continuous, creating linear appearance, and limited to certain zones. The limited amount of area in the bulkhead was a challenge for services to be run within, however, it allowed ceilings to remain high throughout the apartment.

Carpark ventilation was implemented using a carbon monoxide monitoring system to maintain safe levels of carbon monoxide and reduce the running costs of the building.

The architectural design of express finishes presented a challenge in that the available space for services was limited. Services had to be well coordinated in accordance with this architectural sensitivity.
