Neutrals Winner

Project: Kelburn Cable Car Terminus

Name: Ric Slessor

Practice: Bevin Slessor Architects

The images belie the impact. The cable car is left the hero and complemented perfectly with the appropriate and interesting use of colour. The colour range reflects the industrial and mechanical nature of the building.When you have a striking hero, such as the cable car, it would be very easy to detract attention by adding more and more colour.  By using complementary hues in an ascending colour strength the palette becomes an interesting backdrop that frames the cable car, while still providing visual interest for those waiting when the cable car is enroute. A totally appropriate backdrop to that encased within.
