The historical Pacific House on Melbourne’s Lonsdale Street is an ancient cigar manufacturer that went through an in-depth renovation in 2022, reopening as the new Her Community Space. Re-imagined by Dion Hall, the space shows strong ties to Melbourne’s art scene.
L’Observatoire International illuminated the soundproof Music Room, bar and hang-out space, fitted with timber panels and cushy velvet booths. L’Observatoire International developed a customized lighting system for the prominent stairwell of the new Her Melbourne Community Space. The five story building is an open-air oasis with a rooftop that accommodates a BBQ and bar. Bright and playful, the design includes details like Italian marble floors and Parisian-inspired skirted stools. From way up here, guests can enjoy uninterrupted city views.
