Prominent design feature
The building now offers a strong street presence with the use of 5 large coloured signage panels serving as both functional and structural features. These panels represent the core of the external design with each panel colour representing the product branding for the key merchandise. Internally, an open floor plan provided versatility in the showroom area for stock ranging in size, from small hand-held water cleaners to large farm machinery.

Construction features
The building includes aesthetic design features that also have a functional purpose. Tilt-up concrete panels have been used to maximise the net usable space and minimise construction time. Suspended ceilings were used to delineate office zones from the showroom area. Given the strong connection with the farming community, consideration was given to providing a building that had agricultural elements. This was achieved by internally exposing the full mechanics of the roof structure and simply applying a paint finish. This visually created a studio effect which also offered the height needed to place large farming equipment on display.
