black meets white

Inspiration for the colour scheme was drawn from the use of natural timber and black ‘board and batten’ detailing on the outside of the building.

Bringing this indoors, Resene SpaceCote in Resene Black was used on the internal board and batten walls as well as much of the cabinetry. The internal walls and ceilings lined in American white oak were finished in a clear finish from Resene to enhance the natural characteristics of the timber.

The black and white theme was played up in the private dining room but softened by using Resene Armadillo and Resene Black White to create a rich warmth in the space.

To add some fun, Resene Clover was used on the furniture in the all-weather terrace to complement the botanical theme of the fabrics.

The biggest challenge in this project was coming up with a colour scheme that was acceptable to the client but also met the approval of the developer and building owner.
