Allplastics Engineering supplied PEP-Core panels to the Melbourne Girls’
Grammar School’s Merton Hall campus, Wildfell.
The north facing Wildfell precinct transitions between indoor and
outdoor learning areas. Internally, large areas have been developed as
multifunctional spaces to accommodate staff and student interactions. An open
plan kitchen leads to a central double height gathering space to foster a sense
of community.
Located in South Yarra and the result of collaboration between Melbourne
based Sally Draper Architects and Taylor Cullity Lethlean (TCL) landscaping,
the project is an inspiring learning environment amidst a dense inner city
site.
Allplastics’ PEP-Core translucent panels have been used externally to lend
a distinctive character to the building, suggesting the bold educational
environment contained within it. PEP-Core sandwiches a triangular honeycomb
polycarbonate between clear gloss or satin finish panels to create a stylish
cladding material and deliver an effective UV barrier.
Key advantages of the highly versatile PEP-Core panels include superior
strength, rigidity, and some light diffusion properties, increasing suitability
for outdoor applications; extensive range of colours; sleek, low maintenance
finish; and ability to withstand wear and weathering with virtually no
deflection.
The cost-effective and fully customisable panels in the PEP-Core range can
also be used for balustrade, staircase, and other interior and exterior
applications.
