A Design-Led Finish That Tells a Story — Arketype x Kennett Builders X Evright

Interior designers and architects know the difference is in the details. The materials you choose, the wayfinding touches, the tactile moments people notice as they move through a space — those are the elements that turn a building into an experience.
 
Recently, evright was proud to support a standout South Australian project delivered with Arketype and Kennett Builders, contributing laser-engraved feature elements and opening plaques that help bring the building’s identity to life.

The project called for a large run of cork tiles featuring Aboriginal artwork — a finish that needed to be crisp, consistent, and carefully produced across a high volume.
 
Our team laser engraved over 250 cork tiles, ensuring the artwork translated cleanly onto the material while maintaining a consistent look from tile to tile. When you’re working at this scale, quality control matters: every tile needs to match the design intent, and every engraved line needs to feel deliberate.

For designers, laser engraving is a powerful option when you want detail without adding visual clutter. It can deliver:
 
Fine-line precision for artwork and patterns
 
Repeatability across large production runs
 
A premium, tactile finish that holds up in real spaces
 
Clean results on materials like cork, timber, acrylic, and more
 
It’s also a practical way to keep the design language consistent across multiple touchpoints — from feature tiles to signage elements.

Alongside the tile work, we also produced opening plaques for the project — a simple but important piece of the story. An opening plaque isn’t just a formality; it’s a permanent marker of the people, partners, and purpose behind a build.
 
We worked to ensure the plaques aligned with the overall look and feel of the development, with a clean, professional finish suitable for a high-traffic environment.
