Situated on a tight allotment in Noosaville, One W balances privacy at the street front with openness overlooking the river beyond. Split across multiple levels with a modernist approach to open living, Focal Glow’s brief centered on subtly defining zones through lighting, while integrating a comprehensive automation system in collaboration with Talltech to ensure ease of living across the home. Continuing the balance between togetherness and retreat expressed in the building facade, this duality carries through the internal layout. An open stairwell connects each level, and the lighting scheme was designed to provide subtle delineation of spaces while complementing the open-plan architecture. A key component of the project was the seamless integration of lighting and automation. Particularly across multiple levels, the system was designed to simplify daily living through intuitive lighting control and customised preset scenes, reducing the reliance on physical switches throughout the home

Natural light floods the living spaces through expansive river views. As evening falls, wall lights integrated into the ceiling beams provide a soft ambient glow that becomes part of the architecture.

Feature pendant lighting above the dining area acts as an extension of the interior design language.

During the day, integrated lighting recedes into the architecture, allowing the home’s design and materiality to remain the focus.

Challenging the traditional residential layout, the primary living spaces are positioned on the upper levels to maximise views and create separation from the street below. Lighting is used intentionally and sparingly, softly defining zones within the open-plan layout.

Lighting was designed to integrate seamlessly with the home automation system, removing the need to adjust multiple controls individually. Preset scenes such as ‘Soft’ and ‘Bright’ deliver coordinated lighting tailored to different moments throughout the day.

Jared Clout, Managing Director, Paul Clout Design
“For One W, the architectural intent was centered on clean lines and a sense of effortless structure. We needed a lighting partner that understood the discipline of 'less is more,' and Focal Glow delivered exactly that. Their fixtures integrated into the ceiling planes with refined subtlety, providing a high-quality light output that defines the space without cluttering the visual field.”

The lighting design gently guides guests and residents through the various zones of the home.

Strategically positioned lighting draws attention to the open stairwell, reinforcing its role as a central architectural feature connecting each level.

Private areas of the home prioritise a calm and restful atmosphere, with integrated downlighting introduced only where focussed illumination is required.

Lighting plays a key role in welcoming guests, with carefully considered placement throughout the landscaping, entry sequence and foyer beyond.

To maximise the indoor–outdoor lifestyle, lighting within the alfresco entertaining areas was carefully considered. Integrated landscape and pool lighting creates a relaxed atmosphere for both homeowners and guests.
