A Building For People And The Planet

A Building For People And The Planet

Featured in the auditorium and other areas throughout the building are DecorSlat acoustic panels. The timber slatted panels, paired with our high-performance acoustic backing, DecorInsul, bring wonderfully modern and minimalist appeal to the space, whilst working hard to achieve the exceptional acoustic results required.

DecorSlat is GECA certified which means that Cox Architecture was able to claim Green Star Points from selecting it for their acoustic walling solution.

“Capital Square has demonstrated commitment to sustainability [that] sets a benchmark of excellence for high-rise office design. The sleek and imposing Mia Yellagonga building holds the highest Green Star rating possible with six stars and has also achieved a five-star NABERS rating, which is a significant achievement…clever and considered planning and design has enabled high-quality sustainability outcomes…the environment feels natural… and spaces are filled with an abundance of natural light”

The building, named Mia Yellagonga has a significant meaning. Mia is the Noongar word for ‘place’ or ‘place of.’ Yellagonga was the Whadjuk Elder who welcomed Captain Stirling onto Whadjuk country at a site on the river close by the campus location. ‘Place of Yellagonga’ is an important homage to part of Western Australia’s past.

Decor Systems is proud to have been a part of a project built with such consideration for people and place.
