With its stunning outlooks over Lake Burley Griffin, the new ANU Research School of Physics building, designed by Hassell, was an opportunity to embed wellbeing features as a primary element of the aesthetic. There is a clear alignment between the building blocks of the discipline – light, energy, matter and the interconnections between objects and […]

Cox Architecture’s design for the Cairns Convention Centre takes a thoughtful approach to shading and detailing with Verosol blinds.

Transparency and connection are significant themes in the design scheme for the new Wurriki Nyal Civic Precinct.  In combination with the world-class sustainability goals of the client, City of Greater Geelong, this poses a challenge for an architect: how to resolve the conflict between expansive views and glazing as a dominant façade element, while ensuring comfortable indoor temperatures and minimised glare.

Looking great and providing shade from the Brisbane sun, the Ambience roller blinds at Jubilee Place are also doing something else. They are helping ensure that everybody, both inside and outside, can experience the building’s striking external structure.

Specified at Eleven Eastern, a state-of-the-art commercial development in Melbourne, Verosol blinds have helped create a work environment that is both energising and sustainable.

Specified at the new Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Verosol Ambience roller blinds are helping the building’s innovative timber structure shine.

Specified in the new Central Courtyard Building, Verosol blinds are helping create a place in which lessons are learnt and friendships are forged.

It’s all automated: dishwashing, changing television channels, flying a plane, and driving a car. Now blinds and curtains are joining the age of automation… and Verosol is leading the way.

In collaboration with Verosol, the latest edition of the Indesign Edit explores the important role that functional fittings like blinds and shading fabrics play in four key architectural fit-outs.

Verosol’s 802 SilverScreen Enviro is a unique metallised blind material. Representing the cutting edge of window covering technology, it has found a natural home at Griffith University’s innovative new Engineering, Technology and Aviation building.

With the most recent addition to Deakin University, Woods Bagot was able to balance design aspirations with environmental concerns to create something special. It did so with a little help from Verosol.

As discussed in “Opening the blinds on Section J and Beyond”, a recent CPD Live session presented by the Australian Institute of Architects and sponsored by Verosol, specifiers need to realise that modern day window coverings are more than just ways of ensuring privacy or providing shade. Considering their significant energy saving potential, they can also play a crucial role in ensuring that commercial buildings are sustainable.

Verosol has long been associated with not only developing ground-breaking window covering products, but also educating the wider world on their energy saving potential. Its collaboration with Curtin University’s Legacy Living Lab is just the latest example of this commitment.

Glass has become a popular feature in modern design, so, when paired with performance fabrics, interiors can be protected from UV radiation and excess heat.
