SUPAWOOD minimalistic timber plywood walls for Army Museum

SUPAWOOD's SUPALINE plywood timber wall panels have achieved a smart but simple industrial finish in the interior of the new Australian Army Museum of Military Engineering building at Holsworthy Barracks in south western Sydney NSW.

Designed by BVN, the new museum building is part of the largest capital works project undertaken for the Department of Defense in the past 70 years, the relocation of the Moorebank Units to Holsworthy.

To consolidate the museum's collection under one roof the client's brief called for a large open warehouse space fashioned from minimalistic strong materials. SUPALINE natural Hoop Pine Plywood panels in a clear satin finish have provided an economical timber lining solution for key areas and allied perfectly with the overall theme.

Approximately 1500m2 of SUPALINE Hoop Pine plywood panelling have been installed throughout the museum interior. Chosen for their consistency of colour and durable finish, the SUPALINE timber panels create warmth to the entry area where they are combined with a gabion wall to define a military atmosphere. Silhouette figures of diggers have been mounted on the panels which form the centre screen down the ramped walkway leading into the main display further set the mood.
