“Buildings are not only a place for activities—doing—they are also a place for being, and color can make being there a much more satisfying and enriching experience”

Color in built space can serve two highly important purposes: It can remove glare from the field of view and it can introduce sensory stimulation to break up monotony and establish an interesting change of a pace.

The use of a broader palette of colors can help to clarify and identify, to provide some surprises, to reduce contrast and to create some feeling of frivolity and gaiety. It is not just a matter of one color being better than another, it is rather that variety is, of itself, psychologically beneficial.

Color has been exploited as an underlying theme and often a major design element in nearly all our work: Bold or more modest color, but often applied in subtle ways. We have always utilized color to give a desired aesthetic “punch” to a part or whole of a building, to create a “look” or “feel” to an interior space, a building or a complex.
