Background
Hanmar was awarded the best Office Fitout at the 2016 FAV Awards for their installation of Bolon at CGU Insurance in Melbourne.
The corporate headquarters of CGU Insurance at 181 William St, Melbourne was refurbished to enhance the working environment for its 4,000 employees. Using 1,450m2 of custom angular shapes from the Bolon Botanic collection, Hanmar installed Bolon on Regupol underlay to access flooring. Based on the supplied floor plans, Bolon was cut to different size triangles to create a dramatic and design-led effect. To allow future access to the raised floor, the Regupol acoustic underlay was systematically installed to allow for the edging to be aligned with certain panels. Despite tight deadlines and a challenging installation, the team worked tirelessly for three weeks to achieve a successful outcome. The job was completed flawlessly and within budget.
