2017 DCC Award Winner
480 Queen, Surface Archetypes

First Place: Overlays – less than ¼” / Over 5000 SF.

This project requires you to look up, not down. Surface Archetypes was contracted to install decorative plaster over 37,000 square feet of wall and ceiling surfaces.

The 32-story office tower is located in Brisbane, Queensland, AU, and at the time was the largest ever Ardex panDomo project. Following a rigorous sampling period to select colors and styles, the logistics of maintaining color and effect throughout the project were challenging. Maintaining a texturing style is tough with one person, but adding eight additional individuals made consistency the biggest issue and what caught the judges attention as an award-winning undertaking.
