The Braggato Research Institute: A state-of-the-art facility in Blenheim, designed by Jerram Tocker Barron Architects, featuring an innovative Hush Panel ceiling that enhances acoustics and functionality for the New Zealand wine industry's research and innovation.
The Braggato Research Institute in Blenheim is dedicated to research and innovation for the New Zealand wine industry. It's new state-of-the-art facility designed by Jerram Tocker Barron Architects opened in February 2020 and is notable for the eye-catching Hush Panel ceiling in their large open-plan meeting space - a triumph of clever design, joinery skills and functionality.
The ceiling is made from Prime Melamine in Tahoe Walnut pressed on a fire-rated black MDF - creating a striking negative detail when perforated to reveal the core. Nelson joinery firm Cooper Webley made and installed the Hush Panels into the ceiling - these can also be used as a wall panel when noise in a large space needs to be reduced.
