Penfolds Magill Estate winery, Adelaide

Architect: Denton Corker Marshall
Builder: FDC Group
Installer: APC
Product: Key-Lena, custom perforation with Tasmanian Oak and grey wash stain

Penfolds is one of Australia's most celebrated wine brands and the maker of the almost mythical Grange Hermitage. In 2019, Penfolds celebrates 175 years of incredible winemaking heritage, and Keystone Linings is very proud to have played a role in making their famous cellar door at Adelaide, Magill Estate shine.

This highly complex brief saw Keystone work closely with architects Denton Corker Marshall and installers APC from the project's very conception.

With a vision to create a highly customised ceiling that referenced the South Australian coastline and Penfold's vineyard locations throughout the State, a fully tailored solution was provided, helping the team overcome a number of major challenges in design.

This project is testament that no job is too big or too complex for Keystone. Every Key-Lena panel has been customised and individually perforated and numbered to create a perforated image of the South Australian coast. Representing a giant jigsaw in terms of build, each panel was individually labelled according to its location in the overall design, ensuring absolute precision during installation.

The resulting design not only offers superior acoustics, but in keeping with the contemporary feel of the cellar door and its polished concrete floors, the Tasmanian Oak with grey wash stain provides a sleek yet inviting atmosphere for swathes of wine-loving guests who arrive at this iconic Australian winery daily. With an extremely stringent monitoring process during manufacture, Keystone was also able to achieve complete colour consistency across all panels, again overcoming the usual issues that design teams face with substrates staining at different rates and shades.

Key-Lena is an excellent choice for ceiling or wall decorative panels. With an extensive list of pre-finishes available to choose from, Key-Lena opens up the door to creativity by allowing you to customise colours and finishes for your choice of slotted or perforated sheet styles.

Cost-effective and long lasting, Key-Lena is suitable for a variety of applications, both commercially and residentially. For a unique and modern look, Key-Lena slotted or perforated sheet panels offer a wide range of choices perfect for turning an ordinary space into something special.
