back to the beginning

Two distinctly contrasting yet complementary colours from the Karen Walker Paints range, now decorate the exterior, which connects well to the colours within the Waiheke landscape. Resene Lumbersider in Resene Fuscous Grey was applied to the street facade, providing not only a great back drop to the entry planting, but a sense of strength and security. The second softer tone, Resene Robin Egg Blue has a strong connection to the Pohutukawa leaf, a softer palette that engages with the private more informal side of the house. Soffits in Resene Alabaster and supporting screen structures that mark the entry points to the house help to accentuate the expansiveness of these canopy forms, providing a welcoming gesture.

The interior continues the theme with Resene Hemisphere, Resene Alabaster and trims in Resene Blackout.
