Detailed Joinery & Graphic Fit-Outs

Baptist Care - Sample Board

BDA Architecture recently contacted us requesting a wall mounted sample board for one of their clients. We put together a design that utilises their branding guidelines, as well as showcases the three colour schemes that will be available. This resulted in a large and beautifully finished board that fit all of the client’s requirements into one display.

For this piece we CNC Routed solid Oak, giving it perfect hand finished corners. The timber was white washed to coincide with the branding guidelines and give a softer edge to the timber than a stark white. The white cover board has printed titles that marry up with the displayed samples.

Sample Boards are in high demand at the moment! Contact us today to see how we can design yours.

Magic Millions Country Cup 2020

We were super excited to work with the Magic Millions Carnival this year. Attracting global attention, this race meeting is one of the top 10 richest in the world!

The trophies that we designed for the Country Cup highlight the prestige that comes with winning the event. The elements featured within this trophy include gold mirror acrylic and timber, which have both been laser cut and etched. Another cool feature is the blue aluminium used in the shadow of the horse head. This was achieved using a process called anodisation, which gives the metal a very rich colour.

These elements come together to create a sophisticated and unique trophy, fit for a Magic Millions race win. We love how these trophies turned out, and hope to do more projects like this in the future!

Gilimbaa Signage Fitout

We were recently approached by Gilimbaa to help with a creative fit out for one of the Shell offices. Gilimbaa are a Brisbane based company who specialise in strategic and connected communication design, for and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. This office fit out design allowed us to work with shapes and experiment on our machinery in ways we normally wouldn’t get the chance to.

These room signs were CNC Routed out of solid pieces of Tasmanian Oak, allowing beautiful blonde tones to be showcased through the final project. We were able to incorporate a rounded more natural edge to give the shape a more organic look. Laser etching was utilised for the text and imagery, which has reinforced the natural and flowing style of this project.

This was a really fun project for us to work on. We accomplished some great results and learnt some new techniques along the way!

Mosaic Property Group - Residential Finish Boards

Mosaic Property Group reached out to us recently regarding the production of some new sample boards for their latest showroom. These sample boards are used to display interior and exterior finishes in upcoming developments. The design was configured around the idea that these boards would snuggly fit within their drawer system at the display suite and can be easily lifted out and put onto the counter top. With those requirements in mind our designers put together a fabulous concept, which brings life to a standard samples display.

Utilising our in house machinery we built custom trays out of solid Tasmanian Oak timber, featuring perfect mitred joints & easily accessible handles. The samples are arranged to fit within the box, and are bordered by an elegant white cover plate with printed titles that dictate what the sample is used for. These boards highlight the available finishes within the developments, whilst also containing them to manageable easy to use displays.

The Sound Society - A Frame

The Sound Society is a free event, hosted by Brisbane City Council, which allows talented musicians to put on a show for the general public. Offering laid back tunes, on site food vendors, and plenty of space for a picnic rug, these events shouldn’t be missed!

This A-Frame has been designed to bring a new edge to and old classic. The timber and print combination allow for vibrant imagery yet give a soft more organic feel with the timber grain coming through. These are a great choice for events, cafes, restaurants, and businesses that want to advertise their services in an eye catching way.

NASA - Interactive Awards

We recently had the huge privilege to work with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland on a very special project. The Goddard space flight center has “More than 50 Goddard spacecraft explore Earth and soar through the solar system, collecting observations to be parsed and studied by scientists around the world. Goddard’s missions support multiple scientific disciplines, including Earth science, solar science and the sun-Earth environment, planetary studies and astrophysics.” (https://www.nasa.gov/goddard)

For this project we were asked to design and create an interactive award. The award needed to relate to the scientific nature of the center and also be structurally sound for the next 10 years, as this was to be a perpetual award. After much research, we decided to design a rolling ball maze game. In total we created two awards, the Science award, which was based around our solar system, and the Engineering award, which was based around the satellite missions that have launched from the flight center. The rolling ball maze game has been designed for a space marble to roll around a maze, through and behind planets, stars and satellites and into the center of the award. The maze can be quite a feat considering the award stands at 23 inches tall!

Besides the interactive maze game in the center of the award, this award also features 3D laser etched timber details, engraveable plaques on the sides of the awards for the winning recipients and gold metallic mirror details to give the awards a retro arcade game feel.

Our clients were thrilled with the outcome and so were we! If you have an project that needs some creative flare, Contact us today to find out how we can help.

Magic Millions - Women's Bonus

We were very lucky at the end of last year to be involved in a project that is all about supporting women! The Magic Millions racing women’s bonus is all about recognising women in racing and racehorse ownership amongst women. Now in its eighth year, this incentive is promoting the important roles played by women in the thoroughbred racing and breeding industry. We were approached by the Magic Millions to design an iconic award that would represent the importance of the race.

These stunning trophies feature a mixture of electroplated metals in several types of finishes to create a beautifully unique 3D effect. The racehorse motif was designed around the main muscles a horse uses to gallop. These lines were also stylised to reflect the waves of the iconic Gold Coast beaches. The metals along with the cut out relief areas allow depth and movement in the piece.

The species of timber used in this piece grows native to the Gold Coast and also has a warm sandy tone to it. The timber has been laser etched which brings another tactile element to the award.

These elements combined create a sophisticated, 3D layered trophy, truly meant for a race winner.

QLD Government – Premiers Awards for Excellence 2019

The Premier’s Awards for Excellence is an initiative of the Queensland Government to acknowledge the exemplary work by individuals and teams across the Queensland public sector. We had the amazing opportunity to design and produce these trophies for the Queensland government to present at their ceremony.

The design was based around the existing event brand collateral, in particular the multi-coloured star motif representing the different categories. It features acrylic printed elements that promote the award category and the winners. We’ve incorporated a South-east Queensland timber into this trophy. Where possible, we like to use timbers that are relevant to our client’s projects, especially for location specific events as it allows the winners to take a “part” of Queensland home with them.

Nautique – Marketing Awards 2019

Once again we have had the pleasure to work with Nautique on their 2019 international and domestic marketing awards. For this year’s awards, we have based the design around a custom 3D acrylic feature encased in a black stained timber. The 3D acrylics create the numbers “2019” to recognize the corresponding event year.  The red acrylic on the black timber creates a nice contrast and allows the color to “pop”. Clear and chrome acrylics are also featured on this award to bring an industrial touch which ties into the mechanical nature of the Nautique brand.

Campbelltown City Council - Australia Day Awards

Campbelltown City Council have become a great client of ours that we have worked with multiple times over the years and this year we were very happy to be making their Australia Day Awards for 2019.

Inspired by some of our encapsulated awards, our designers came up with a unique look for the trophies showing a mixture of encased timbers and exposed edges. The base has cut throughs to show coloured acrylics coming through and is finished with our signature laser etching.

Nautique - Custom Timber Presentation Boxes

As part of their all-new release, Nautique wanted 50 exclusive one-of-kind gift boxes to be designed and manufactured. Having made many products in the past for the company, the team once again contacted us to create something bespoke with the same action sports flare we have emulated for them in the past.

Each box was hand crafted by our joinery team from solid American Walnut timber we sourced from our local timber yards and milled down to profile. There is always something special about personally selecting the perfect timber for the job and watching it be transformed through out the process. Our favourite part of these boxes is the subtle continuous timber grain that wraps around the box, keeping the grain continuous instead of using four different parts of timber allows for a flawless finish.

The internal sections of the box were custom cut and tested to achieve the perfect snug fit for the thermos, portable charger, gift cards and lapel pins. This piece was then finished off with a laser cut and printed lid to complete the signature Nautique style. As we design and manufacture our products in house, there is always a great sense of accomplishment with the team when we complete our projects, and this one was definitely one for the books.
