From the Resene News – issue Spring 1999

Inspired by nature - Hawke's Bay residence
Hawke's Bay residenceRecent emerging trends in interior/exterior wall cladding are the aged textured sandstone finishes and washed cement renders in dark neutrals and rich terracottas through to natural Mediterranean colours. Built on top of a hill, a five-bedroom Hawke's Bay house, nestled in amongst a grove of olive trees, has been painted in Resene's sandstone finish Resene Sandtex.

A tone-on-tone blue colour palette has been selected by the owner for the exterior of the house to emulate the deep blue Hawke's Bay skies.

A washed out effect has been achieved with an undercoat of Resene X-200 Waterproofing Membrane tinted to Resene Havelock Blue, followed by a topcoat of Sandtex tinted to a darker Resene Marina blue, applied in a crow's foot fashion. Painting Contractor Mike Olsen said that the desired finish was easily accomplished using a standard four-inch pure bristle brush.
