Bistro C is not just another beachside restaurant; it’s an institution, an integral part of the local landscape in Noosa. Award-winning cuisine, complemented by a relaxed and stylish atmosphere, makes it an all-time favourite for diners. Be it a leisurely long lunch, an afternoon cocktail, or a moonlit dinner, the view of Laguna Bay never disappoints, nor does the food. For this renovation, we were tasked with enhancing the venue's acoustic experience, while maintaining its beachside aesthetic. Led by the talented Chloe Banks, Marketing & Brand Manager at Bistro C, we selected Heradesign Superfine Natural Acoustic Panels, a product celebrated for its superior acoustic properties. “The Heradesign panels are not only the star choice for our establishment, Bistro C, but they also deliver an exceptional blend of organic aesthetics and acoustic performance,” explains Chloe. “We were specifically looking for something unique and distinctive, wanting to steer away from generic and overly office-like options that had become common for soundproofing. That's when we were introduced to the Heradesign panels in the captivating wood-wool natural style, and it was an easy decision." It was important to select a product that not only functioned impeccably but also fit seamlessly into the restaurant’s design narrative. Chloe continues, "They effortlessly aligned with our relaxed and texturally-rich vision, making a remarkable difference. Our valued customers can now enjoy a comfortable ambiance without being disturbed by the loud noises of a busy restaurant.” The impact of good design extends beyond just the visual. For architects and designers, the challenge is to create spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful. Heradesign's panels offer sound absorption, serving as a testament to its effectiveness in eliminating unwanted noise and echoes. The result is an intimate setting perfect for meaningful connections, whether you're sharing a meal or celebrating special occasions. We understand the immense responsibility and opportunity that comes with shaping the sensory experience of a space. At Bistro C, not only do your eyes feast on incredible views and exquisite interior designs, but your ears also revel in a sound environment that is as calming as the lapping water in Laguna Bay. You can enjoy conversations without needing to shout to be heard. The Heradesign product enriches the environment and dining experience - tick, tick. In the end, good design is not just about how a space looks, but how it feels, sounds, and functions. It’s a holistic approach that considers every element, from the acoustic experience to the visual aesthetic. Want to talk design?

The University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT) is not just expanding but revolutionising its research and educational facilities. As part of this transformation, the Brutalist-style Block D building on the Parkville campus has undergone a significant refurbishment, thanks to the creative vision of Architectus. The architect’s goal was clear: to create a warm, inviting timber oasis that would juxtapose the more functional laboratories. The initial plan to use Blackbutt timber had to be revised due to supply issues following the devastating 2018 Australian wildfires. We pivoted to Mixed Australian Hardwoods, a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing alternative that aligned perfectly with the design intent. Our Apollo Timber Battens, measuring 60mm (d) by 30mm (w), were finished in Mixed Australian Hardwoods with a Clear Matte Lacquer, providing a natural, refined look. These battens not only enhanced the visual appeal but also delivered exceptional acoustic performance. Installed by Eco Build, the ceiling features offer an elegant solution, ensuring a biophilic ambiance that balances beauty with functionality. PRIMED joinery played an essential role in developing bespoke solutions for the free-standing screen elements, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic throughout the space. The timber elements were meticulously matched, creating a seamless integration that reflects the architect's vision. Warm organic hues invite you to linger and learn. Level 4 of Block D has been transformed from a tired office space into state-of-the-art laboratories, equipped for advanced experimental research in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) and Mechatronics. These labs now feature cutting-edge equipment, including glove box systems, deposition systems, and spectroscopy instruments, all housed within a space intensionally designed to facilitate innovation and discovery. Full-height glazed walls on Level 4 maintain a visual connection between the new lab spaces, bringing in ample natural light and fostering an open, collaborative environment. This design approach not only enhances the functionality of the labs but also creates a more engaging workspace. This project is a testament to the power of innovative design and sustainable materials in creating environments where education and research can thrive. Want to know more?
