Timber Finished Decorative Panels from Supawood

The mix of matching smooth and slatted timber linings achieve a textured vertical pattern.

Perfectly matched SUPAWOOD products provide complete solution

SUPAWOOD'S timber finished decorative panels intermingled with matching slatted panels have been used as an important central feature in the newly built Rockdale City library, NSW.

The designers, CK Design International, worked closely with Rockdale Council from the outset to develop an innovative solution to replace the very old existing Library with a new building which would server the local community into the future.

CK Design International looked for matching smooth and slatted timber linings that could be mixed to achieve a texture effect as well as harmonise with other materials chosen. As SUPAWOOD can perfectly match finishes across their range, their SUPALINE and SUPASLAT products worked perfectly for the design intent.

Adjoining the1940's Rockdale Town Hall and utilises part of the high brick façade of the old building, the library interior comprises of a 3 storey atrium space. Each floor is connected by the centrally located lift core which is highly exposed and a dominant unifying feature in the design by tying the 3 levels together. To achieve a sense of innovation and drama, the designers envisaged the warmth of timber cladding with the idea of a textured vertical pattern.
