The Resene Total Colour Awards 2013: Education

Resene ColourAwards2013 logo maestro4Education Maestro

Project: Papakowhai School

Practice: Vorstermans Architects Limited

The four blocks are identified by the use of colour, but in a sophisticated way using varying strengths of colour complementing each other in each block.  The colour communicates and improves way-finding for students.  The balance of the scheme is kept with the neutrals allowing the coloured blocks to shine, intensified by their geometric pattern. As the colours are north facing they get diffused and lively play in the light.

Name: Opus Architecture

Practice: Cushla Thurston

The auditorium has a striking sense of warmth, the juxtaposition of colour is entirely appropriate for this project.  In this environment you don’t want the colour to be overly powerful, but the colour palette picks up the school colours without being overdone. It’s delightful with a great focus on the space and colours used.

Here the colour is integrated in the architecture rather than imposed. It has picked up on cellular spaces with colour interventions of perfect selection. the colour simply punctuates the building.  As the colour use is highly focused, the palette and project is highly legible. Very clever use of colour on a complex building.
