2 Woods Bagot Architects designed the headquarters of Westfield Corporation drawing on a vibrant CMYK-based color palette. Bold, high-end finishes contribute to a creative, positive, stimulating work environment. The offices occupy three full floors with a connecting staircase, café, and social work areas. Woods Bagot designed enclosed meeting spaces, conference rooms, and group collaboration areas using directionally transparent Bonded Series partitions. Each space uses a specific configuration of Bonded Series panels to realize the design intent. Image by Woods Bagot Architects Image by Woods Bagot Architects

3 While the selected color palette is very dynamic in range, consistent use of specific color elements across all three floors of the building unifies the design. Panelite worked with Woods Bagot to Configuration One: Breakout Meeting Room B-AHVT Aluminum Hexagonal core, Violet Transparent facings Configuration Two: Work Area Partitions B-TCBT Tubular Clear core, Blue Transparent facings Configuration Three: Conference Room B-RCYT Random Clear core, Yellow Transparent facings understand their design objectives, and ClearConnect BF-ITL2 Interlocking joints ClearConnect BF-ITL1 Interlocking joints ClearConnect BF-ITL1 Interlocking joints recommended specific honeycomb core types and ClearConnect details for three different BF-EFL Flush finished edges BF-EFL Flush finished edges BF-EFL Flush finished edges application conditions.

5 Semi-private Partitions B-TCBT: Bonded Series Tubular Clear core with Blue Transparent facings Blue facings integrate the partitions with the overall CMYK color scheme. Tubular core provides directional transparency and views for the work space. ClearConnect TM interlocking joints allow frameless installation

6 Bonded Series partitions enclose the space for the conference room Product: B-RCYT (Random Clear core with Yellow Transparent facings) The directional transparency of honeycomb allows for a variety of views through the panels. Views provide a feeling of connection from the meeting space to the larger office. Viewed at an angle, the honeycomb core provides privacy.

7 The panels require a simple base channel, for a minimal design aesthetic. The panels interlock using ClearConnect BF-ITL joints no caulking is required. Panelite BONDED SERIES Panels honeycomb panels work well for shared public spaces such as meeting and conference rooms Prefabricated, frameless partition systems with translucent interlocking joints: Eliminate vertical framing, reduce installation time More than translucent: Panels are directionally transparent creating a dynamic visual experience and a balance of privacy and views aesthetic options honeycomb material, size of cells, color, and facing finish options: Traditional partition systems have visually obtrusive framing which appears as dark shadows when backlit. ClearConnect joints are seamless, with a translucent effect Panels are light weight and easy to handle on site without requiring extensive equipment or labor. satin finish is available for facings when the design objective is to have 100% privacy option to trim, fabricate on site as required Panels weigh 1.5 to 2 lbs. per sq. ft. almost 8 times lighter than glass of a similar thickness. Panelite recommended ordering end panels slightly longer. After verifying dimensions in the field the installation team trimmed panels using simple woodworking tools. > SEE INSTALLATION VIDEOS Panelite panels save significant labor cost compared to glass. Bonded Series panels are 70-80% air. They can be handled onsite without heavy lifting equipment.
