Designed by Kate Abbett of WallaceBrice Architecture, this Brisbane commercial project exemplifies the transformative power of materials, turning a communal space into a warm and inviting haven.

Tasked with revitalizing an existing lobby in Brisbane, the challenge was to create a versatile communal area for building tenants, complete with shared meeting and board rooms, as well as a brand-new Brisbane Head Office for Daisho.

In the pursuit of excellence, the team turned to the FSC® certified (C009500) PurePlank range, ultimately selecting Maison timber flooring for its gorgeous blonde tones, impeccable durability in high-traffic zones and its remarkable ability to be sanded if needed, ensuring a longer lifespan for the product.

But practicality was not the sole driving force behind this choice. The flooring needed to meet rigorous technical specifications woven into the overall design.

“We had some curved walls that we required the product to curve around as a skirting and were impressed with its ability to be manipulated in this fashion.”

The project's allure doesn't end with the flooring; it extends to the intriguing use of Tasmania Oak dowel and wall paneling, which seamlessly harmonise with the soft blonde tones of the flooring. This design approach skilfully weaves a thread of complementary elements throughout the entire space, ensuring that every corner of this Brisbane commercial gem exudes warmth and invitation.
