Their superior durability, timeless aesthetic, and low maintenance requirements mean the total cost of ownership over the life of the product is highly competitive. Every project is custom-manufactured to specification, so pricing is tailored accordingly. We recommend contacting our team to request an estimate based on your specific requirements.

Insight Body and Mind

Location: Aberfeldie
Architect: Biasol Studio
Photographer: Timothy Kaye

Located in the Melbourne suburb of Aberfeldie, Insight Body and Mind offers clients a holistic approach to health and wellness. Embracing the mind-body connection, this multidisciplinary practice nurtures meaningful connections between the two. Designed by Biasol, the studio provides a transcendental spatial experience that engages the senses. Our steel-framed doors and windows were specified as key design and functional elements for the practice.

Insight’s branding, interiors, and services are seamlessly integrated, resulting in a cohesive and meaningful experience for clients. The combination of light-filled spaces, sculpted curved forms, and graphic stone surfaces evoke a sense of flow, energy, and life.

The layered color and material narrative gradually lighten as clients transition through the levels, with our textured reeded glass diffusing light, creating a warm ambiance while ensuring privacy and meeting acoustic requirements.

Our black steel-framed sliding doors and hinged doors, along with fixed windows, were selected for their modern and enduring aesthetic, beautifully complementing the overall studio design and purpose.
