The Local Kensington is a build to rent development with 483 apartments, its design nodding to old Kensington through white sculptural archways crafted from precastconcrete.
ECOTONE applied a custom coating onsite, finishing the archways in creamy white and colour matching the upper level brick tones to the red brickwork at groundlevel.
The approach delivered a cost and time effective solution while achieving a cohesive, characterful finish across thedevelopment.

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.
