Dramatic ceilings crown two areas of the ANZ Centre reinvention and expansion a diagonal-grid batten, bronze-coloured aluminium ceiling features in the ground-floor lower lobby of the tower, and a glazed ceiling with 60m-long powdercoated white fins in the entry to the new adjacent pavilion. Both were created and installed by Metal Concepts to specifications by architect Warren and Mahoney.

Requirements for the tower ceiling were the most complex and Metal Concepts delivered a result that was picture-perfect off the Autocad plans, says lead architect on the project, Richard Archbold.

"Our aesthetic needs included a tiered ceiling that would bring texture to the lobby's general palette of strong, simple forms the depth also delivers excellent acoustics. Essentially, we wanted overlaid battens with a diagonal patterning, requiring extremely high levels of installation accuracy.

"Metal Concepts also had to integrate all services, such as sprinklers and lighting, invisibly into the mix."

For the other glass ceiling, Metal Concepts clad structural supports in a powder-coated aluminium boxing, again ensuring no fixings or services were seen from below.

"Warren and Mahoney was pleased with the technical expertise and design ingenuity that Metal Concepts brought to this project, including optimising fabrication for a rapid, economical installation."
