In July this year owners voted on the final colour choices. A decision was made to retain the original blonde bricks and the cleaning and restoration process has commenced.
Factors Under Consideration
Aesthetic Direction: Whether to retain the building’s original 1970s character or update its appearance with a more modern finish.
Cost: Staying close to the original colour scheme is generally more affordable, with surface patching and cleaning offering significant visual improvement at minimal cost.
Maintenance: Any surface we apply will require ongoing upkeep and may be more vulnerable to water damage over time.
Heat Absorption: Darker colours may increase internal heat gain, while lighter shades may help reduce thermal load.
Light Reflection: Highly reflective surfaces may create glare and visual discomfort, particularly in sun-exposed areas.
Previous Input: The chosen approach aims to reflect consultant reports, builder and engineer advice, and owner preferences.
