The building was developed by Mansons TCLM with a fit-out designed by GHD architects. Even in an open-plan office, there's a need for private meeting rooms. For the GHD office fit-out, it was also essential to maintain the sense of transparency that defines the workplace.With this in mind, GHD's in-house design team specified two meeting rooms with TemperShield® clear, curved toughened glass manufactured by Glasshape. The company says 12mm glass was used for the large panels, which are 2.5m high and 2m wide. A band of film wraps the glass to provide a degree of privacy. The curved glass also provides a distinctive architectural feature, and enhances the sense of openness and space. In addition, it ensures the circulation areas flow seamlessly.Glasshape, which has ISO9001 accreditation, can manufacture TemperShield® curved toughened glass in extra-large sizes up to 3.9m high x 2.44m wide, which is the largest dimension available in Australasia. The glass is well suited to commercial and residential architectural applications. The company also has a digital onsite measuring system that can be utilised to take measurements early in the construction process, before standard templates would normally be made. Specialist technicians use the latest digital scanning software to produce electronic templates. The glass can then be manufactured and delivered on site before it is required, so builders don't have to wait for it.
