NEWS ARTICLE ARCHIVESSlotted Acoustic Panel Systems from Decor Systems Australia![]() Parkview, Wheller Gardens, Qld, featuring Decor Systems panels. Parkview is the central facility within a high density Seniors residential precinct developed by Wesley Mission Brisbane. This building includes residential accommodation for 144 high care residents, a new community therapy centre, and supporting facilities. The accommodation is in predominantly single bed apartment format with a small number of 2 bed rooms. This award winning project, designed by Fulton Trotter Architects, necessitated a multi level and intensive approach. However, the buildings' mass has been broken down into firstly the 5 buildings and then further into pods of 4 units to reduce the developments' potential for an intimidating character. Interiors use a largely white simplicity, combined with varying colour timber ceilings, and trims to allow the building to age as gracefully as possible. DecorTrend Slotted Acoustic Panel Systems are used extensively throughput the project, enhancing a quiet ambience to this distinctive project.![]() Recognition: "Parkview is a community within a community" - Annie Gibney, Director of Nursing- Parkview, Wheller Gardens "The staff love Parkview, the residents enjoy the atmosphere and their families are always excited to come and visit" - Geoff Batkin, CEO - Wesley Mission Brisbane "Parkview re-defines institutional style aged care through sensitive and well considered design" - Malcolm Middleton, 2011 Jury Director - Australia Institute of Architects "We feel Parkview demonstrates a new model of care through articulate and thoughtful architecture" - Mark Trotter, Director - Fulton Trotter Architects Awards:
