Improved Building
Alterations to the Royal Exchange Assurance Building in Brisbane have included all modern trends. Sound-absorbent ceilings, with concealed fluorescent lighting throughout, have been found not only attractive, but conducive to a greater standard of efficiency.
Artificial ventilation in the manager’s and assistant manager’s rooms has been installed. A new counter and desks to match have been set up, and a particular feature of the counter is a low-set section at which clients can sit and complete forms, without having to stand.
Color plays an important part in the furnishings. New flooring of inlaid linoleum tiles in red are allied to the main walls of primrose yellow, with two contrasting walls of pottery blue.
