The A'Beckett Tower won the Grand Prix category for "outstanding use of colour" at the 25th annual Dulux® Color Awards. AAF powdercoated over 300 screens on this project for Lowline Ventilation equipment.
With 16 different colours scattered over the façade and the reverse of each panel having to be coated in black, the logistical challenges were immense, particularly given the short time frames.
The finished product is a credit to all parties, a brilliant project and a beautiful addition to the Melbourne landscape.
