The Brisbane headquarters of Guard Insurance reflects a thoughtful balance of professionalism and comfort. Delivered by The Fitout Studio, the fitout features Acoufelt’s Fracture ‘Fineline’ acoustic panels in ‘Almond’, introduced to help manage sound while enhancing the visual tone of the space.
A standout application of the panels is in the meeting room, where Fracture Fineline in Almond has been installed on the wall behind the TV. This surface is a high-reflection point for sound, so positioning acoustic panels here helps to reduce reverberation and support speech clarity during presentations and video calls. It’s a subtle design decision that significantly improves the functionality of the room.
The vertical stripe detail of the Fineline pattern brings soft texture to the wall without overwhelming the clean lines of the interior. The warm off-white shade of Almond lifts the space, making it feel light, calm and inviting.
With the lines between home and workplace becoming increasingly blurred, the materials we surround ourselves with are shifting too. The ‘Almond’ colourway reflects this change. It is a soft neutral with a dusty, greyed warmth that evokes early morning light. The tone is gentle on the eye, designed to bring a sense of stillness and clarity to spaces where focus matters.
“This project was all about creating a functional, modern, and inviting space that reflects Guard Insurance’s commitment to excellence and their forward-thinking approach.”

The rise of remote and hybrid work has increased demand for acoustic comfort in every setting. Today’s workspaces are expected to perform like a traditional office, while offering the quiet reassurance of a well-designed home. Fracture Fineline responds to this shift with panels that are tactile, effective and beautifully integrated into their surroundings.
At Guard Insurance, the acoustic solution is not a visual compromise. It is part of the design language. From materiality to colour, every choice was made to reflect a brand that values trust, performance and wellbeing.
Fracture Fineline in Almond brings together acoustic function and visual simplicity. Whether used in meeting rooms, open-plan work zones or client-facing areas, the result is a space that works well and feels even better.
