Group Architects-style 1962 home, exterior repaint preserving the original colour scheme matched from owners-supplied photographs.
Original 1962 Group Architects-influenced home in Miramar, owners wanting to restore the period palette from a series of photos taken in 1968.
Colour-matched the original Resene formula by sample — three trips to the Resene Te Aro store with the photos to dial in the green and the cream. Exterior in Resene Lumbersider, full-strength, two coats.
Salt-air exposure meant zinc primer on all steel fixings, including the original aluminium window frames which had started oxidising. Joinery in Aquanamel matched to the original timber sash colour.
Three weeks on site, two painters. Owners pleased with the period accuracy — said the photographer who took the 1968 shots would have recognised it.
