The Barracks, Launch Bay Apartments is a sleek four level residential complex in Hobsonville, featuring a unique exterior that needed a finish enhancing the natural grain and depth of its timber moulded precastconcrete.
ECOTONE developed a custom colour finish applied onsite, chosen to bring out the rich texture of the material and create depth and warmth complementing the building's modern, clean design. The result was achieved in close collaboration with the project team, ensuring seamless integration with the building'sexterior.
The finish delivers a durable, low maintenance result that has become a standout feature in the local landscape, one built to endure for years tocome.
