Known as being within one of the most prominent positions within the City, 191 West George Street stands on the corner of West George Street and Wellington Street. The position encourages an easy commute for the workforce with transport links being a stone’s throw away from the development. Renovated with space and clarity in mind, the atrium stands out with its high-quality materials. The atrium was designed with a sleek set of Lifeline Speedlane Swings.

DESIGNED WITH FLEXIBILITY IN MIND.
The lead architect renovating 191 West George Street was Michael Laird Associates. An architectural firm that flourishes in adaptable yet luxurious designs. Working directly with the architects, it was a simple product selection process regarding security. The requirements were for a slimline access control solution that had the versatility to control large numbers of visitors.

“Naturally, the thinner the unit the more space perceived and the more access control can be installed. Glass transparent wings give the illusion of space, allowing light to flow through the entryway.”

SPACE VS SECURITY A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION.
Michael Laird Associates specified early on for slimline access control that could be linked to reception, as seen in the image below. This new office space thrives in an open white space design, with slight mushroom tones contouring the reception. The Lifeline Speedlane Swing has a minimal footprint that it can be installed in all locations without being obtrusive to user access or aesthetic design. 191 West George Street was designed to be a bustling flexible workspace that has the ability to accommodate a vast throughput of building users.

“Security lanes are often placed in confined upper floor access areas, this gives the illusion of a spacious, open atrium without feeling confined. The Lifeline range tends to be popular in this respect as they can enhance an area as well as secure it.”

A SLIMLINE ACCESS SOLUTION FOR ALL USERS.
The designated lift area at 191 West George Street is secured by a bank of double-wing Lifeline Speedlane Swings. Understanding building type and estimated building capacity was indicative to the number of security lanes installed and the type of configuration. Configured as a standard set-up with a wide double wing set placed at the end, it was understood early into the design process that throughput adaptability was a key factor to the installation.

Wide setup lanes are great for allowing large groups to pass through as well as wheelchair, pram, and luggage access. These lanes can be controlled remotely via a device called Boon Touch, which gives reception control to open or close lanes. Other important considerations were how the positioning of the lanes would cope with peak times of day and bi-directional traffic.
