The Jubilee Hotel project has breathed new life into one of Brisbane’s most iconic boom-era hotels, affectionately known as the ‘Jube‘. Simultaneously, it has introduced a fresh pub experience with its pavilion extension, creating an urban room concept within the city. The restoration work was carried out in accordance with Burra Charter principles, under the guidance of heritage architect Ivan McDonald, and executed with utmost care by skilled artisan tradespeople.
Keystone takes great pride in supplying our Key-Endura Fibre Cement Panels for this noteworthy project. Our team member Shuria Agrawaal, took the responsibility for ensuring smooth coordination between Keystone’s team and our vendors and stakeholders all-throughout the project . Given the intricate design and sloping ceiling requirements, the Key-Endura panels were the ideal choice. From the initial drawings to the meticulous manufacturing process, we ensured the utmost attention to detail. The fitout was done flawlessly by B&F Interiors.
The Jubilee Hotel project stands as another fine example of the trust shown in our products, design craftsmanship and commitment to excellence. We are honoured to have been part of this iconic building’s transformation.
