MAKING 197 HOTEL ROOMS AND SHARED SPACES FEEL WARM AND WELCOMING
Lyf Bondi Junction isn’t your average hotel. Developer Iglu and The Ascott Limited set out to build something different. They created a 197-room co-living space built around community, comfort and freedom. Opening in April 2025, Lyf sits across 10 levels in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. The building needed a complete lighting solution. That meant everything from the open dining on the ground floor through to the gym on level 10. Every single space needed to feel considered. The vision was clear. The team at Maxton Fox had created interiors built around warmth and connection. Guests spend
time in communal areas, unwind in their rooms and share meals together. Facilities like collab rooms, laundry and gym all had the same attention to lighting. The illumination needed to carry warm comfort throughout the entire building. Cold, flat or generic lighting wouldn’t suit the vision. The electrical contractors needed a Sydney-based, full-scope lighting supplier. They needed a partner to provide the technical expertise for this large project. Industralight’s manufacturing capabilities meant we could provide fixtures to specifications. And deliver everything in stages to keep the build on schedule.
A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO STRIP LIGHTING ACROSS TEN LEVELS AND 197 ROOMS
Each delivery was different. In-stock products arrived at the site first. Others, such as mounting profiles, hardware, and accessory kits, were sent at different stages. And the finished striplighting was assembled for a professional and hassle-free installation. Bedroom suites incorporated lighting into the built-in furniture. Benches and bedframes set striplighting into recessed edges and sit flush with surfaces. Vanities and wardrobes also had recessed striplighting throughout. And contractors installed a customised linear fixture into the gym ceiling. Striplighting is ideal to create layered ambient illumination. And this hybrid hotel uses it to evoke a warm and inviting space.
Our team got started by reviewing the plans and the take-off schedule in full. After a couple of rounds of discussions, we focused on delivering striplighting. Instead of a one-size-fits-all solution, we provided cut-to-length products for easy installation. On approval, we moved into production. Some fixtures required custom configurations from either manufacturing or assembly. As a lighting supplier, we design and develop bespoke products or alter existing ones. Our Australian production team excel in assembly, quality standards and managing orders. And they can accommodate specific requirements for challenging projects.
