The majority of the floor finishes are stone, and designer Deanne Passenger says wool carpet was chosen to define and soften the seating and boardroom spaces as well as deliver an improvement in acoustics.

"The carpets, ceiling bulkheads, built-in joinery and feature walls are completely integrated to form a holistic design expression which flows from space to space both vertically and horizontally.

"A dual purpose café and function space adjacent to the boardroom meant that the carpet had to withstand food and drink spills while maintaining its appearance.  Ideal for hospitality and office use, the Trojan Twist contract heavy duty cut pile was an easy choice for the carpet.

"The charcoal colour "Apollo" was chosen to for its great soil hiding abilities and because it was a perfect match to the other grey materials in the palette. The twist yarn is very forgiving as it does not shade or watermark yet gives a great plush impression to a front of house space."
