APG Architects specified Metwood Light Oak for the vertical shiplap cladding, exterior louvres, and the interior staircase. Externally, the Metwood finish contrasts with white Alucobond panels and STO veneer, creating a refined façade, while the external louvres provide solar screening and add visual depth. Internally, the Metwood-coated staircase is paired with glass and integrated lighting and forms a striking feature within the atrium.
This combination of aesthetics and performance has been well received, contributing to a professional yet welcoming healthcare environment that enhances patient comfort and staff well-being.
