SUPAWOOD’s decorative SUPATILE SLAT acoustic ceiling tiles and SUPACOUSTIC CUSTOM acoustic panels have been used for the ceilings of an award winning workplace renovation for the relocation of The Australian Finance Group (AFG) in Perth.

The project designed by Hassel WA involved creating a fit-out occupying 2200m² over four floors and needed to remain sympathetic to a newly renovated 1968 building. The client requested that the design encompassed a focus to encourage new work collaboration practices while embracing the AFG corporate brand.

The brief demanded a palette of materials which met ESD criteria, were durable and fully coordinated to provide adaptability for future reconfiguration. By choosing from the SUPAWOOD products range designers were given adaptable solutions to select the correct sophisticated linings they needed to fulfil their client’s brief within a set budget.

SUPAWOOD’s product range provided a broad and flexible choice with a wide range of looks, finishes and options which would match the designers’ model. To solve the problem of installing in existing spaces, custom sizes were ordered to suit. SUPAWOOD’s technical assistance was available throughout the entire design process.

SUPACOUSTIC CUSTOM acoustic ceiling panels in V-Breeze pattern SUPAFINISH Black were installed with concealed fixings, access hatches and integrated service panels. In other areas a directional look has been achieved with SUPATILE SLAT acoustic ceiling tiles in SUPAFINISH Spotted Gum integrated with strip lighting, the Lift & Shift tiles providing full accessibility. The choice of SUPAFINISH ensures these ceilings are easy to maintain and long lasting.

The finished result is a long lasting, functional and adaptable workplace. This project won the 2013 WA’s DIA for Corporate Award of Merit for Interior Spaces and was described by the judges as “Simple rationalized planning techniques and sophisticated material palette”.
