Commercial Exterior Colour Schemes, and Why It is Important to Use the Paint Brand Specified.

Exterior colour schemes for houses; apartments and commercial buildings are a specialty at Sienna Design. You are still buying the paint, so let’s get the colours right. Having the confidence of choosing which colour combination works best for your building comes from years of working in this industry. It is essential you use the paint brand specified, as each paint company has its own unique base and pigment colours, and this reflects in the final complexity of colour. This is particularly important with exterior colours, as outdoor light changes throughout the day and season, impacting on which colours show more predominantly at the time. I would advise you make this clear with your painters before they begin painting.

Exterior Colour Consultant – Residential Development – Kensington Park Orewa Update

I have been working on the Kensington Park exterior colour schemes for the last 4 years. There are still some buildings to be built and painted, but I was out there last week, and so pleased with the overall look. As you can imagine the process of creating the exterior colours for an expansive hillside, which is viewed from all around Orewa, needs careful consideration for the owners of the houses looking down onto the roofs, as well as the people living at Kensington Park, and the enhancement of the cityscape. Colour balance, flow, harmony as well as practical elements such as the LRV rating allowed on weatherboards, come into the process when I am choosing the range of colours. Being an artist certainly helps when working on the overall concept, and being able to visualise how it will look. The landscaping has been well thought through to enhance the space and its buildings. Here are a few more photos of the latest stage to be completed.

Kensington Park Exterior Colour Schemes

The latest apartments and terrace houses are almost finished at Kensington Park in Orewa, north of Auckland. Inspired by the Plantation Style, this master-planned residential neighbourhood is very impressive. The architecture and colours are harmonious with its surroundings of bush and ocean. I have been working on the exterior colour schemes of this award winning development for over eighteen months now. It has been an enjoyable process to be part of a well considered, sustainable development like this one. I will keep you updated with each building as it is finished (and painted of course). The ongoing quality is evident in these stylish buildings which are surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds.
