Textured Australian Ash Feature Ceilings
Beautiful australian timber is used throughout the ceilings in the workplace, predominantly across the communal kitchen and dining/lounge area.
The linear patterning of the battens on the ceiling adds some nice texture to the space which is dominated by white walls and polished concrete flooring.

Sustainable Design
The new addtion to the building holds 91 solar panels that generate 33kWh of energy.
Supported by batteries, the panels are likely to assist the functioning of the building for 80% of the year without drawing energy from the grid.

A design approach is seated in the relationship between the two generations of building – how one is situated against the other, how the detail strengthens the contemporary without detracting from the inherited and how contemporary usage operates smoothly in the new arrangement.
