Colour and life
This artist’s home by Aonui Architecture is bursting with colour
that connects with the environment and the owner’s ceramic
works – vibrant Resene paints were specified throughout
Sited on a hilltop saddle with sweeping
views, and boasting sustainability at its
heart, this home by Aonui Architecture
makes the most of dramatic paint surfaces.
Project architect Richard Wright says
the interior colours were chosen by Aonui
with the artist-owner, Anya Mowll.
“Anya wanted us to use bold colours to
accentuate the different zones in the house.
“Colourful walls and fittings mediate
between the deep charcoal floor tiles and
the straw tones of the ply ceilings,” Wright
says. “Even when the sun isn’t shining into
this solar home, we wanted it to have a
golden sunlit quality. So the default living
room colour is Resene Golden Glow, with
accent walls in the red-brown Resene
Rough N Tumble. Resene Golden Glow
was also used in the master bedroom.”
The kitchen features deep red Resene
Thunderbird around the fridge, with
Resene Toto, a soft blue, on the cabinetry,
and Resene Sunflower on the walls.
“Resene acrylic paints have proved
themselves on many projects to offer great
coverage and be easy to apply,” says the
architect. “The high-wear areas – such as
the kitchen, bathroom and the window
reveals – received the harder, semi-gloss,
Resene Lustacryl finish, whereas the bed-
rooms and walls benefit from the durable,
low sheen Resene Lumbersider.”
