Custom Finishes Boards for Nex Apartments by Base Architecture

by Jubilee Framers




Precision craftsmanship for architectural presentation

At Jubilee Framers, we specialise in producing high-quality architectural finishes boards that help designers, developers, and stakeholders confidently visualise material selections. Recently, our team partnered with Base Architecture to create two custom display boards for the Nex Apartments development — a project that required precision layout, durable construction, and refined presentation.

Supporting Architectural Decision-Making with Professional Display Boards

When Base Architecture approached us, their client was ready to proceed and needed professionally crafted boards that would clearly communicate the project’s material palette. Each board measured 600 × 450mm and featured a carefully curated selection of finishes including timber laminates, stone, tile, carpet, and painted surfaces.

Our role extended beyond fabrication — we managed the layout design to ensure the samples were presented in a clean, balanced format that aligned with the project’s contemporary aesthetic.

Thoughtful Layout Design for Maximum Visual Impact

After receiving the samples, our team developed a rough layout proof to confirm spacing, alignment, and material relationships before production began.

Key considerations included:

  • Even distribution of samples across the board

  • Allowing additional space for the thicker carpet sample

  • Avoiding unnecessary trimming of the stone materials

  • Creating strong visual contrast between textures

This collaborative approval process ensured the final boards matched the architect’s expectations while protecting the integrity of the supplied finishes.

Premium Timber Floater Frame for a Refined Architectural Finish

To elevate the presentation, we recommended a timber floater frame moulding that complemented the natural tones within the material palette while maintaining a professional, gallery-style appearance.

Floater frames are ideal for architectural boards because they:

  • Provide structural protection

  • Create visual separation from surrounding walls

  • Deliver a high-end presentation suitable for display suites and client meetings

  • Maintain a modern, minimalist look

Once the layout and frame selection were approved, our production team moved immediately into fabrication to maintain project momentum.

Built for Durability and Ongoing Use

Architectural boards often travel between offices, display suites, and stakeholder presentations. With this in mind, we constructed the boards to withstand frequent handling while preserving a polished appearance.

Our approach focused on:

  • Secure mounting of varied material weights

  • Accurate cutting and alignment

  • Long-term durability

  • Clean, professional finishing

The result is a set of finishes boards that communicate quality before construction even begins.
