Building Colour Consultancy: Projects
Wyndham Vale Community Health Centre
Working in conjunction with architect John Henry of Woodhead International, this community health centre has become an interesting and dynamic health facility.
The Wyndham Vale Community Health Centre offers ISIS primary care, paediatric, psychiatric, youth and dental services. The use of saturated hues in lightwells and feature walls creates an atmosphere of warmth and activity in an otherwise beige environment.
The Brief
While maintaining a clean and neutral look, Woodhead International architect John Henry wanted a warm and non-sterile identity for this community health centre. He wanted to focus the use of colour in skylights and lightwells throughout the building, with the goal of creating colour washes on the warm yet neutral walls.
Main Concerns
- Colour not just as decoration, but working with the architectural features to achieve the architect's intention
- Light intensity diluting hue saturation
- Saturated hues that can extend into neutral zones
- Using warm neutrals to energise large corridors
Colour Selection Criteria
- Volume of corridors, waiting areas and consultation rooms
- External and internal light sources
- Integrating furniture, fabrics, floor coverings already selected
- Light intensity in lightwells
Colour Selection
- Skylight Corridor Shafts, ISIS Primary Care: Dulux Mars Red, Haymes Autumn Flame, Haymes Rapunzel
- Skylight Corridor, Dental Corridor: Bristol Sari
- Skylight, RN71: Dulux Carona, Haymes Kings Ransom, Bristol Daffodil
