The Solution

The CAT B fit-out contract included new partitioning, flooring, breakout/tea point areas, joinery, and alterations to the existing and new M & E services over two floors. The existing CAT A fit-out included perforated ceiling tiles which offered limited acoustic privacy. Improved performance was achieved by added sound attenuation to the ventilation system and acoustic quilt above all the partitioning. Where further confidentiality was required some rooms were constructed using 200mm sound block partitioning.  At the extreme end of acoustic performance requirements (the editing suite) slab to slab partitioning was used.

Gratterpalm chose to separate their client-facing reception and meeting rooms from the main working office on the first floor thereby minimising disruptions for the workforce. A central reception desk with circular flooring detail, suspended lighting and feature graphics was the focus of this area. Meeting rooms orientate around the reception, and with the absence of natural light were fully glazed with transparent vinyl pro gloss graphics applied.
