Vertilux shading solutions played a central role in raising the bar on environmental performance and interior fit-out for a noted State Government building in Brisbane.
As a building of note, 1 William Street attracted high-level expertise in fit-out and execution. Interior spaces were designed to stimulate engagement with occupants through modulated texture and colour and the use of biophilic design, demonstrated in the subtle palettes, organic materials and views showcasing the beauty of the local environs. The interior design encourages a continuous circulation flow, offering both discrete workspaces and shared areas to promote interpersonal engagement and collaboration between teams.
Vertilux’s solutions aligned with this ethos and made the most of standout features such as the double-vaulted, full-height atrium. This entailed the supply of blinds up to 12.5 metres in height, made from efficient solar fabric to reduce the strain on air-conditioning, as well as the incorporation of new solar technologies into the blind motorisation.
