Specialist manufacture and installation of bespoke cabinetry and joinery

The rich look of rimu features throughout Datacom's five floors of contemporary office space. Joinery specialist Image Interiors undertook all the stand-out joinery and feature walls for the fit-out.

Image Interiors specialises in the manufacture and installation of bespoke cabinetry and joinery for the commercial, hospitality, and residential sectors, says managing director Rich Carey.

"This was a special project for us, being our first major project since taking over Image in October last year," he says. "Our brief was to deliver a cost-effective fit-out with the high level of finishing appropriate for an aspirational work environment such as Datacom."

There are always minor challenges on a project of this scale whether related to programme timelines, design changes, or material availability. However, Image Interiors was able to overcome any issues as they arose with good communication and teamwork with head contractor Fletcher Construction and designers Gaze Commercial.

"For this project, two of the more challenging features were the curved quiet room on Level Three, and the living wall feature on Level One," says Carey. "Creating a seamless curved environment for the quiet room required significant veneer work to achieve the desired result, while the sheer size of the striking living wall feature presented challenges in itself. However, we pride ourselves on working collaboratively with our partners to achieve great outcomes."

Image Interiors' manufacturing input was broad, showcasing its abilities by touching on almost every aspect of the fit-out. Elements included every-thing from kitchens, leaners, and lift lobby panels, to planter boxes, column cladding, credenzas, and the planter walls, to name only a few of many.
