Capital Square Tower 2

Capital Square Tower 2 required a premium upgrade to its lift interiors and adjoining lobby finishes to better reflect the building’s architectural standard and enhance the overall passenger experience. The project emphasised modern materials, seamless integration of technology, and a refined mix of stainless steel, glass, stone, and illuminated feature elements.

This case study details the design intent, materials, and execution of both the lift car interiors and the enhanced lift lobby finishes.

  • Establish a cohesive, high‑end visual identity across lift interiors and lobbies.
  • Integrate operational technology without compromising architectural aesthetics.
  • Use durable, low-maintenance materials suitable for high‑traffic commercial environments.
  • Enhance lighting effects and spatial perception through reflective and illuminated surfaces.
  • Deliver a polished, premium result consistent with the Capital Square brand.

Lift Interior Design Elements

Front Wall Finishes

  • Material: Rimex Linen Pattern Stainless Steel
  • Integrated Features:
    • Hinged Car Operating Panels (COPs) fitted with Dewhurst US95 bi‑colour push buttons for improved tactile and visual clarity.
    • Pixel 32″ Opal Plus full‑colour display screens incorporated into the front wall transoms, enabling dynamic messaging and tenant communications.
  • Outcome: The textured Rimex Linen façade provided sophistication and durability. Integrated COPs maintained architectural cleanliness, while the Dewhurst buttons ensured user-friendly operation. The embedded Pixel screens added a modern digital layer without disrupting design continuity.

Side Walls

  • Material: Glasskote Colour‑Backed Glass in ‘Frothing Mocha’
  • Accessories: 50mm diameter stainless steel handrails to both sides
  • Outcome: The warm, reflective Frothing Mocha finish provided a striking contrast against the stainless steel front wall. The handrails contributed to safety and enhanced the visual symmetry of the cabin.

Rear Wall Composition

  • Material: Three full‑height clear silver laminated glass mirrors
  • Trims: 5mm linished stainless steel vertical separators
  • Outcome: The mirrored rear wall significantly increased both brightness and perceived depth, while the slim stainless trims offered precision and subtle articulation.

Ceiling Design

  • Material: Perforated mirror‑polished stainless steel panels
  • Lighting:
    • Roof‑mounted lighting tiles
    • Diffused using internal opal polycarbonate sheets within the ceiling assembly
  • Outcome: The polished perforated ceiling delivered a refined aesthetic with acoustic benefits. Diffused lighting created a soft, uniform glow that complemented the reflective materials throughout the lift car.

Flooring

  • Material: 20mm Black Stone
  • Outcome: The black stone provided a durable, elegant foundation that grounded the interior palette and offered long-term resilience.

Lift Lobby Enhancements

Door & Reveal Finishes

  • Material: Rimex Champagne Linen Stainless Steel applied to both lift doors and door reveals
  • Outcome: The warm champagne-toned linen pattern elevated the visual presence of the lift entrances and tied the lobby design into the interior materials palette.

Transom Features

  • Material: Rimex Champagne Pearl Stainless Steel
  • Lighting: Back‑lit transoms extending across the lift façade
  • Outcome: The combination of Champagne Pearl with integrated back-lighting introduced a modern, high-impact feature element, enhancing visibility, sophistication, and nighttime ambience within the lobby.

Project Outcome

The combined lift interior and lobby upgrade at Capital Square Tower 2 achieved a seamless, high-end visual identity through the use of premium materials, integrated technology, and carefully balanced lighting. The result is a polished, contemporary environment that enhances user experience from the moment passengers enter the lobby through to their journey inside the lift car.

Key achievements include:

  • A consistent architectural language between lift interiors and lobbies
  • Integration of premium digital display technology
  • Improved visual clarity and passenger interaction through Dewhurst US95 buttons
  • Enhanced spatial perception with glass, mirror, and reflective stainless steel finishes
  • Stylish, illuminated lobby features that strengthen the building’s brand identity
