Colour By Design. The ECOTONE team were delighted to be involved in this project, from the design and planning stages onwards. Custom "white" concrete colour stains were installed across all exterior precast elements of the building. The result is a crisp finish whilst adhering to the brief of allowing the natural precast texture to come through.
TESTIMONIAL: "Throughout the design phase of an inner city apartment building with exposed precast concrete, a number of options were considered including coloured concrete. In the end, the Ecotone product was specified as the finish to the precast as it could be tailored to suit the desired finish and colour, yet maintain the natural appearance of concrete. It was this natural appearance that was key for us as we did not want to entirely cover over the concrete, but rather let some of the inherent imperfections in the concrete surface and texture come through. The team at Ecotone provided several samples whereby we finetuned the desired outcome, and we are pleased with the result." Duncan Barron, Associate Architect, Sheppard & Rout Architects.
