Filled with collaborative spaces as well as private working stations, employees can connect across NAB Melbourne’s three storeys. With maximum flexibility, the new work- space allows for personnel and customers to feel wel- come, learn from each other and be encouraged to reach their full potential. By specifying clear powder-coated and VOC-free wall and ceiling panels, Hassell has helped NAB reconnect with its clientele after the global pandemic. To bolster wellbeing, Hassell used DESIGNER PLY® clear powder-coated panels throughout the interior space, creating a warm environment that enhances workflow. The plywood panelling was selected for its functionality in the semi-exposed areas of the office space. Through its aesthetic finish, the plywood conveys a soft and calm- ing appeal within communal workspaces, conference rooms, eateries, multi-faith rooms, parent rooms and large studios. Paired with plant life and coloured lounges, the chosen material offers a cheerful reprieve from Mel- bourne's cityscape.
With its light colour palette and organic-looking textures, the office radiates a level of sophistication that is not often seen in commercial buildings of this size. Chosen for its resistance to high-volume wear and tear, the panelling easily absorbs heavy foot traffic. Providing an array of coating options – including single-sided and double-sided – the pre-finished VOC-free powder-coated panels also allow for cutting on site for a swift installation process. Fitted to Hassell’s specification, ForestOne pro- vided 12-millimetre plywood panels for the wall panelling and 18-millimetre panels for the joinery, among other custom sizes. From its extensive range of plywood, ForestOne pro- vided Hassell with the materials needed to imbue the NAB Melbourne office with a refreshing and modern take on the workplace.
