Airboard Metal applications
The architectural design was inspired by abstracted images of the local coastline environment, the sea and the strong identity of the “Ship wreck coast”.
Courtyard walls and walls behind the perforated screens are pre-cast concrete in textured finish. Intricate metal screens provide a linking element and sun shading to the eastern facade.
Metal AIR-Board® UV PC panels from Allplastics blend perfectly with the geometry of the outdoor screens. The panels were installed by the builders CE Australia and are located at the entrance to the offices of the various departments.
