Slatted Ceiling Tiles from Supawood Architectural Lining Systems

Mood in iconic memorial museum enriched by rustic slatted ceilings

SUPAWOOD DRIFTWOOD SUPATILE SLAT slatted ceiling tiles have been use to delineate the mood in selected areas of the National Anzac Centre at Mount Clarence within Albany Heritage Park, Western Australia.

The state-of-the-art interactive museum over looks King George Sound, the point of assembly and departure for the 1st and 2nd Anzac convoy's deployed to war in 1914. This project was controlled by a very tight budget and a timeframe of just 10 months, the completion needing to coincide with the centenary of the departure of the 1st convoy on 1st November 2014, the planned date for the official opening.

The installation designers, Thylacine, sought a quick to install rustic finished timber slatted product for the ceilings in 2 key areas, the product also needing to provide ongoing access into the ceiling. SUPATILE SLAT in DRIFTWOOD proved the perfect solution.

Dedicated solely to honouring the Anzacs of the First World War, the events of their story are displayed progressively in a manner aimed at provoking an emotional journey for the visitor. Each area of the museum conveys a different mood which is enriched by the quality materials used within it.

The entry reception area is dominated overhead by clear finished DRIFTWOOD slatted ceiling tiles. This rustic timber is reminiscent of both the maritime beginning of the Anzacs' journey and the splintered wooden supports of the trenches marking the end.
