COLOUR THAT RESPONDS TO THE BUILDING

Colour should not be selected in isolation.

Natural and artificial light, orientation, room size, surrounding landscape and existing materials can all change the way a colour is experienced.

We consider:

• The architectural character of the building

• Existing colours and materials

• Natural light and orientation

• Adjacent rooms and sightlines

• Roof, cladding and masonry colours

• Flooring, tiles, benchtops and joinery

• Existing furniture or fittings where relevant

• Heritage character

• Commercial branding

• Maintenance requirements

• The relationship between internal and external finishes

• How colours change throughout the day

The result is a coordinated palette rather than a collection of individual selections.

WORKING WITH EXISTING COLOURS AND MATERIALS

Existing buildings often contain materials worth retaining.

Rather than replacing everything, we identify the colours, textures and undertones already present and develop a palette that works with them.

These may include:

• Face brickwork

• Natural stone

• Timber floors and joinery

• Existing tiles

• Roofing and metalwork

• Concrete

• Heritage finishes

• Commercial branding

• Furniture and artwork

• Recently completed work that will not be altered

This approach can reduce unnecessary replacement, control project costs and create a more coherent result.

We develop the agreed colour and material direction and record the selections in a coordinated schedule.
