The completed Bader Ventura Apartments stand as a refined example of passive design, with crisp white and warm neutral tones giving the building a calming streetpresence.
ECOTONE applied a full coating system to the precast concrete panels, including timber grain textures and smooth off form finishes. A custom beige tone complemented the smooth facade sections, while white highlighted the textured panels and architectural fins, applied at both the precast yard and onsite for a clean, cohesiveresult.
The project supports Kāinga Ora's sustainability goals and has been recognised with multiple awards, including Gold for Residential at the 2024 New Zealand Commercial Project Awards and Excellence in Sustainability at the 2023 Auckland Property PeopleAwards.

FAQs
ECOTONE provides architectural finishes, colour matching solutions, and protective coatings including emulsion stains, sealants, primers, and waterproof and weatherproof systems designed to enhance, restore, and protect building surfaces with long lasting, low VOCperformance.
Standard paint is a surface-level decorative layer. ECOTONE coatings are multi-layered systems that penetrate and bond with the substrate, delivering deeper texture, stronger adhesion, and long-term durability. Designed for harsh conditions, they offer advanced protection and can last up to 25 years when properlyapplied.
ECOTONE coating systems are specified for application by approved applicators trained in our products and processes, ensuring consistent quality and eligibility for the 25-yearwarranty. Many projects are delivered as custom building finishes, with ECOTONE working directly with architects, builders, and precast partners to achieve the design intent. For new projects or pricing, contact your local ECOTONE office or submit a ProjectEnquiry.
ECOTONE coatings are compatible with a wide range of building materials such as concrete, brick, block, mortar, fibre cement andplasterboard. Each substrate needs the right preparation and, where required, a suitable primer. Technical data sheets and other resources are available to help select the correct ECOTONE products for yourproject.
Sustainability at ECOTONE is driven by how surfaces are designed, applied and maintained over time. Our coating systems reduce material use, extend building life and minimise environmental impact across the builtenvironment.
