Against the Greige
This current obsession with “Three Shades of Grey” or ‘greige’ (the new beige) is wearing thin. In most cases it’s cold, unfriendly, unwelcoming and hardly the setting for a happy environment. I’m pleased that clients are now looking for something diffe
LA PERA ESTATE NIGHT TIME
La Pera Estate, located in the heart of Lovedale, Hunter Valley, has recently undergone a rebranding and major renovation. Lick provided colour and lighting design services for its wedding and event space. The design features bespoke, oversized circular profiles suspended below the trusses, creating a floating illusion. These profiles have an indirect RGBW colour changing LED function, allowing the ceiling to be washed in any desired colour, creating an immersive experience. Charcoal walls at the the height of the rings absorb light spills, enhancing the ceiling’s colour definition. The space also incudes Vistosi gold and rust decorative wall lights, adding harmony to the design. This balance of aesthetics and function creates an engaging environment ideal for weddings or unforgettable events.
Jacaranda - Breakfast Point Project 2022
A village on the shores of Sydney Harbour, Breakfast Point is distinguished by its coastal architecture and traditional interiors. Each building is distinctly unique by design, yet all co-exist harmoniously to create a cohesive and thoughtful community. Jacaranda is an exclusive residence of just thirty custom apartments in a boutique five-storey building. Lick colour was engaged to provide an exterior and interior colour upgrade for Jacaranda, including common areas for all five levels. Careful consideration was given to the external colour selections to ensure a fit with the aesthetic of the exclusive gated community. It was also important to introduce a colour scheme not previously used in the precinct to provide some individuality. The weatherboard cladding has been featured, with a saturated lavender highlighting the architectural detail and a greyed-mauve anchoring the projected balconies. The general broad wall areas have been treated with a subtle grey toned white providing visual contrast with the white trims that are consistent across all buildings. Interior walls are a warm grey to tie in with the the exterior colours. Apartment doors have been highlighted with a classic French navy to create a focal point of entry for residents and reinforce the traditional Hamptons feel.
