SUPATILE SLAT Ceiling Tiles in DRIFTWOOD Rustic Timber Throughout Workplace Spaces

SUPAWOOD’s DRIFTWOOD slatted ceiling tiles are a prominent feature in a newly refurbished workplace for a mining company headquarters in Brisbane, QLD. The client consulted Priority Building to refurbish two levels of their building in Grey Street, South Brisbane. The design brief called for a minimalist open and collaborative work environment with warm, neutral colours and natural elements – including timber features – that would reflect the company’s image and values.

Priority Building contacted SUPAWOOD to supply approximately 500 m² of Driftwood slatted ceiling tiles to be retrofitted into an existing ceiling grid, which required a custom product. Supawood faced two major challenges in completing this project – modifying their proprietary slatted ceiling tiles and reducing the lead time dramatically to meet the client’s deadline.

SUPAWOOD’s engineering and production teams overcame these challenges by developing a new prototype that met the design intent and by implementing a night shift in the factory, enabling the product to be delivered onsite quicker than standard lead times.
