Tas Tiling Contractors completed a highly detailed tiling package that reflects the newly redeveloped University of Tasmania -The Forest project’s natural aesthetic and refined architectural vision.
The company was engaged to carry out tiling works across Level 2, including floors and walls of the Bridge area, along with approximately 300m² of flooring and 300m² of paving in the Level 1 car park. Works commenced in June 2024 and were completed in October 2025.
“The project involved working with detailed architectural layouts and various surface transitions, particularly around the Bridge and curved wall areas,” said Jiho Choi, Director, Tas Tiling Contractors. “Maintaining consistency in grout lines and tile alignment across complex geometries required close co-ordination with other trades and careful planning.”
One of the most technically demanding challenges was the installation of the thin brick tiles, which were cut down from full Brickworks Daniel Robertson bricks to just 20mm thick.
The project used an equal mix of three colour selections—Cambridge, Black and Buff—across the tiling surfaces. “Working with three different colours and slightly inconsistent brick sizes demanded precision and patience to ensure a uniform and high-quality finish,” Jiho explained.
Substrate preparation, levelling, and the selection of high-performance adhesives and grout systems were essential to achieving durability and performance in high-traffic areas. Tas Tiling Contractors undertook careful inspection and quality checks at each stage to ensure alignment with the design intent and long-term functional needs of the space.
“We’re proud of delivering high-quality finishes that align with the project’s natural aesthetic and architectural intent,” Jiho said. “It was a rewarding experience to contribute to such a significant Tasmanian project that combines design excellence with sustainability.”
“I’d like to thank our team for their hard work and Hansen Yuncken for their support throughout the project. We’re proud of what we achieved together,” said Jiho.
