Katikati<br />

My clients, having lived many years<br />

vegetable farming on the outskirts of<br />

Katikati, wanted to build a substantial<br />

building, an asset to Katikati township<br />

for many years to come.<br />

I chose a modern, smart yet timeless<br />

colour scheme of <strong>Resene</strong> neutrals<br />

accented by metal and wood – to portray<br />

interest and strength fitting within the<br />

existing character of the community. The<br />

building was built using concrete block,<br />

some walls plaster finished and other<br />

walls clad in Linea. Due to the three<br />

finishes I chose three <strong>Resene</strong> neutral<br />

shades accented with white and bright.<br />

Concrete block walls are finished in hues<br />

from the <strong>Resene</strong> The Range Whites &<br />

Neutrals – <strong>Resene</strong> Perfect Taupe (greyed<br />

beige) and <strong>Resene</strong> Double Perfect Taupe<br />

on plaster finished walls. Linea is painted<br />

in a contrasting neutral, <strong>Resene</strong> Oilskin<br />

(a complex brown) and these colours are<br />

joined with strips in colours of copper<br />

and white. The copper colour is then<br />

continued with precious copper joinery,<br />

and to complete the look, wooden decks<br />

coated in <strong>Resene</strong> Kwila Timber Stain.<br />

Materials were chosen for appearance<br />

and low maintenance. This predominant<br />

building is a landmark entry point<br />

welcoming you into the ‘old becoming<br />

new’ streets of Katikati.<br />
