PAN Interiors carried out an extensive package of works including GRG plasterwork, plasterboard ceilings and drylining to the shopping malls and entrance areas on a design, supply, delivery and installation basis.

Working closely with Laing ORourke and architect Leslie Jones, PAN Interiors prepared definitive CAD drawings rationalising design where possible to standardise curves thereby reducing mould requirements. Specification was closely adhered to and bettered where it was believed GRG was more suitable, for example all exposed floating edges formed in GRG in lieu of plasterboard to obtain sharp and durable edges.

The head of the Tadpole as it became known was elliptical on plan. From the shopfront demise line a GRG U section formed the perimeter ceiling detail also acting as a light trough to the connecting barrel vaulted ceilings which were formed in plasterboard. Dummy beam casings, also formed in plasterboard, span the barrel vaults diminishing into the large (3.3m girth) GRG double curvature bulkhead which terminates at the balustrade, framing the inner elliptical opening.
Circular and elliptical GRG column casings rise from the floor to meet the curved bulkhead. Below these ceilings were further suspended islands on two levels again trimmed in GRG. The lowest island is tear drop shaped, which incorporates three GRG domes of varying size surrounded by integral GRG light troughs.

Further down the mall there is a change in level, the lower level ceilings accommodating further islands at varying levels, trimmed in GRG forming light trough. Entrances to the car parks, temporary shopfronts and staircase areas completed the scope of the works comprising plasterboard ceilings, drylining and plastering.
