The Adina Pentridge Hotel transforms one of Melbourne’s most significant heritage sites into a contemporary accommodation precinct, with a new tower designed by Cox Architecture providing a refined contrast to the original bluestone buildings. Safetyline Jalousie’s SJ Proteger louvres were incorporated into this modern addition to support natural ventilation and complement the clean, contemporary lines of the façade while respecting the site’s layered history.

Within the building’s circulation spaces, the SJ Proteger system also operates as Natural Smoke and Heat Ventilators (NSHV), ensuring clear egress paths in the event of a fire. Their streamlined profiles integrate seamlessly with the tower’s architectural expression, reinforcing the project’s balance of heritage character and modern design.

Embracing the project’s resort-like design approach, Natura Macquarie Park incorporates floor-to-ceiling Safetyline Jalousie louvres to enhance natural light, ventilation, and outlook across the surrounding ecological corridor. These generous openings allow fresh air to move freely through the apartments while maximising daylight and views. Importantly, the louvres meet the stringent performance requirements of the 20-storey towers, including fall-prevention compliance even when fully open, ensuring residents benefit from natural ventilation without the 125 mm restrictions imposed by other window systems.

The sleek Dark Brown Pearl frames complement the project’s refined palette of stone, timber, and warm, resort-style detailing. Designed for exposed high-rise conditions, Safetyline Jalousie louvres deliver reliable air- and water-tight sealing for year-round comfort. Their combination of safety, durability and visual clarity supports the development’s goal of creating open, calm and naturally connected apartment spaces.

York & George brings a distinctive sculptural presence to the Sydney CBD, with its shifting floor plates and vertical folds creating a refined, Jenga-like silhouette across the skyline. Within this high-rise environment, the architects sought a window system that could support natural ventilation for the winter gardens while maintaining the clean, contemporary language of the façade. Safetyline Jalousie louvres were selected for their ability to deliver controlled airflow without compromising the building’s architectural expression or the strict performance requirements associated with high-rise construction.

Installed across balconies and podium levels, the louvres integrate seamlessly into the tower’s design, providing ventilation, comfort and fall-prevention compliance in areas where conventional window types were unsuitable. Their engineered sealing and laminated glass address wind and water pressures at height, while preserving the project’s commitment to openness, light and refined urban living. The result is a facade solution that reinforces the building’s design intent—enhancing comfort and livability while supporting a bold architectural form.
