First impressions are everything. Would you enter a business or shop with an appearance of being run down, outdated or substandard? Facades can have significant impact on passers-by and visitors. We are visual creatures, and therefore have a preference to choose places that satisfy our senses. As result, the façade design of a commercial building is important to the success of the company. 

DECO shares five exteriors that showcase how architects and designers can help companies enhance customer experience when it comes to building facades. 

SHOPPING ON CLYDE

Designed to portray a premium shopping destination, this centre has a highly detailed façade featuring 50 x 50 DecoBattens. The timber-look battens were incorporated into the cantilevered entry canopy to create a dramatic effect. Finished in DecoWood ‘Casuarina’, the eye-catching canopy welcomes its visitors with a feeling of excitement.

G-FORCE CONSTRUCTIONS

Wrapped in DecoClad Shadowline cladding, this office building façade features a natural ‘Tasmanian Oak’ finish by DecoWood. G-Force Constructions specified DECO because they wanted the beautiful timber look without the ongoing maintenance. The cladding and battens work together effortlessly to create a statement that represents the superior brand of G-Force. 

KOOKAI

Alexander Cavill Architects has cleverly designed this two-level Kookai store that incorporates a mixture of cool beach vibe with modern design. Finished in DecoWood ‘Curly Birch’, thelouvres  by Louvreclad create a striking affect, one that perfectly reflects Queensland’s warm coastal lifest

INA-L-A SPACES

A mixture of DecoClad timber-look cladding, decorative screens and other metals presents an attractive façade on this contemporary chic inspired office building. 

VICTORIAN SPECIALIST CENTRE

This state-of-the-art medical centre in Victoria exudes wellness and tranquility with its use of timber-look products, white walls and greenery. Custom finish aluminium flat sheets were specified to create a contemporary and natural appearance to the entrance. Furthermore, the use of DecoBattens inside and out enhances the tranquil ethos of the building.
