Incredibly thoughtful, this colour palette is not punchy or overwhelming, it’s just completely appropriate. It has moved the building forward with respect. The respect applied makes you treasure it more as a reflection of times gone by. Neo-Georgian with a Victorian undertone coloured with complete sensitivity for enjoyment today.

Gorgeously theatrical, it’s completely reflective of the era, showcased with the colour palette. It brings together an eclectic mix of style drawing attention to as much detail as possible. A huge sense of welcoming, the use of the red is fabulous with the golds and yellows. It lets you know you have arrived to sees something spectacular. The subtle use of light to disguise and highlight adds to the ambiance. This related colour scheme gives it power yet is easy on the eye. Exciting, theatrical the judges all thought it was just "Wow".
