SUPAWOOD’s Waffle Blades ceiling creates bold acoustic feature at Adelaide office

Located in Adelaide’s premier commercial precinct, 83 Pirie prides itself on setting a new benchmark for contemporary office spaces. Within this building resides Heaps Good Service, whose offices on Level 19 were designed by local and leading architecture firm, Studio Gram.

A standout feature of the Heaps Good Service office fitout is the feature ceiling within the kitchen and communal spaces, created using SUPAWOOD’s Waffle Blades combined with micro-perforated SUPAMICRO solid infill panels. This innovative pairing creates a visually striking ceiling whilst significantly improving acoustic performance – a crucial factor in high-traffic communal spaces. 

The intricate installation was expertly delivered by SA Build Studio, ensuring flawless execution of the design vision.

Studio Gram is known for creating compelling spaces that balance the comfort of the familiar with the allure of the unexpected. Their approach blends artistic ideas with a deep sense of curiosity, crafting environments that are both innovative and highly functional. This philosophy is evident in Heaps Good Service’s office design, where bold material choices and thoughtful spatial planning contribute to a workplace that is both inspiring and practical.

83 Pirie is a 5 Star Green Star-rated building targeting NABERS 5 Star Energy and 4 Star Water ratings designed with sustainability in mind. Features include rooftop solar panels, end-of-trip facilities, rainwater harvesting, and smart building technology, making it one of Adelaide’s most advanced commercial spaces. 

The Heaps Good Service office fitout aligns with this commitment to sustainability, utilising SUPAWOOD’s high-performance, environmentally responsible products to enhance both the functionality and sustainability of the space.
