The Barracks – Launch Bay Apartments is a four-level apartment complex at Hobsonville, Auckland.
Materials & application
A Native Kauri colour was applied using ECOTONE Sharp — a finish tailored to enhance the natural grain and depth of timber-moulded precast concrete. The system was applied onsite by Prima Projects for seamless integration with the building's exterior design.
Outcome
The Colour by Design system brought out the rich texture of the material, creating depth and warmth that complemented the building's modern, clean design while ensuring a durable, low-maintenance finish.
