Warm Experiences – NAB Melbourne by Hassell Studios

NAB Melbourne by Hassell Studio provides comfort to its employees by offering a reprieve from the bustling Melbourne CBD. With the use of DesignerPly products, Hassel Studio has created a contemporary workplace filled with warm hues, natural light and materiality that cater to the wellbeing and health of workers.

Filled with collaborative spaces as well as private working stations, employees will be able to connect over NAB Melbourne’s three storeys that overlook Melbourne’s CBD. With maximum flexibility, the new workspace allows for personnel to feel welcomed, learn from each other and be encouraged to reach their full potential. By specifying Birch clear powder-coated and VOC-free powder-coated wall and ceiling panels, Hassell Studio have helped NAB reconnect to its customers after the global pandemic.

To bolster employees’ wellbeing, Hassell Studio used DesignerPly Birch clear powder-coated panels throughout the interior space, creating a warm environment that enhances workflow. A non-structural plywood, the Birch clear powder-coated panelling was selected for its ability to be used in the semi-exposed areas of the office space. Aside from supplying an aesthetic finish, the plywood conveys a soft and calming 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 the monochromatic background of Melbourne.

Utilising VOC-free powder-coated panels, the office radiates a level of sophistication which is often not seen in commercial buildings of this size. Chosen for its high-volume wear and tear abilities, the powder-coated panelling easily absorbs heavy foot traffic. Providing an array of coating options – including single-sided, double-sided and premium – the pre-finished VOC-free powder-coated panels also allow for cutting on site for a swift application process. Fitted to Hassell Studio’s specificity, ForestOne provided 12-millimetre plywood panels for the wall panelling and 18-millimetre panels for the joinery, among other custom sizes.

Offering an extensive range of FSC certified plywood, ForestOne provides Hasell Studio with the materials used to imbue the NAB Melbourne office with a refreshing and modern take on the workplace.
