Winner sia skylight showroom of the year Diamond Skylights Heidelberg, VIC Diamond Skylights’ newly renovated premises is centrally located on busy Bell Street, a short drive from Melbourne’s CBD, with readily available parking. A full width window display, and illuminated overhead sign provide an outstanding street presence. Customers enter through double doors to a visually inviting showroom of sweeping bulkheads and polished concrete floors. Over 30 skylight displays and eight booths showcase a range of SOLATUBE and VELUX products. The central atrium is attractively designed to maximize light and ventilation in the heart of the building, connecting the open plan office with the showroom. The architectural benefits of natural light provided by the product range is self evident. JUDGES’ COMMENTS The large number of displayed working skylights is impressive in this well designed space. The layout assists customers to work through the selection process step by step and is a great showcase of the products. Steve Lynch (right) accepting the award for Solatube Australia.
