Seaside fare - Kiosk147
Cantabrians embarking on summer strolls down Sumner Beach, Christchurch have often tucked into a round of ice-cream at the local kiosk that has weathered the storms and the sun for many years. This kiosk has had a makeover as part of the extensive Scarborough Fare Restaurant and Kiosk 147 exterior and interior alteration and refit.

Dressed in an Environmental Choice paint finish, the exterior features Resene Lumbersider waterborne satin over a mix of old and new weatherboards and weathered Summerhill stone, while Resene Zylone Sheen low sheen waterborne finish is used on interior broadwall areas with Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel on trims and joinery.

Brave colour choices in the form of Resene Ebony Clay (grey black) and Resene Carpe Diem (sunshine orange) seize attention and are striking against the maritime landscape. The award winning restaurant is well known on these shores and, with the striking new colour scheme, the aim is set firmly on continuing the same proud traditions of excellence.

Good old fashioned ice-cream and award-winning meals wrapped up in one, no wonder the locals are finding any excuse to go for a wander and bite down at the beach.
