FRAMEWORK

A process of reading, refining, and resolving your home’s colour direction.

Understanding the Home
We begin by looking at the home as a whole — its architecture, its proportions, and fixed elements.

Observing the Surroundings
The landscape, neighbouring homes, and natural light all play a role in how colour is experienced from the outside.

Establishing the Palette
From there, we begin refining a palette that works in relationship — considering body colour, trim, accents, and fixed materials.

Balancing the Composition
Each element is adjusted in context, allowing the home to come into harmony as a complete exterior composition.

Your Exterior Colour Plan
Following our meeting, a clear and detailed plan is provided so everything can be executed with confidence and clarity.

Homes, thoughtfully composed

Where colour and architecture come into balance.

YOUR HOME TAKES FORM

Every home holds a structure—a framework that defines its rhythm, its balance, its potential.

Through careful consideration of colour and form, we begin by understanding that structure. But rather than following convention alone, I look at each home as something to be read—often revealing possibilities that are not immediately obvious.

The result is not decoration, but a home that feels resolved—composed, grounded, and distinctly its own.

THE VALUE EXCHANGE

Exterior colour design, where we explore your home and its surroundings together, shaping a clear and cohesive direction for how it comes together as a whole.

During our session we will:
• Walk the exterior and evaluate your home in relation to its site and surroundings
• Explore and refine body colour options with intention
• Develop a complete and cohesive exterior palette (body, trim, accents, and details)
• Consider finishes and sheen levels as part of the overall effect
• Provide thoughtful design guidance throughout the process

Following the session, you will receive your personalized colour plan to guide implementation.

CHARACTER AND HERITAGE HOMES

Character and Heritage homes require a more in-depth and nuanced approach.
Their architectural detail, proportion, and historical context call for a more extensive exploration of colour before arriving at the final direction.

These projects often extend beyond the initial consultation. The resulting colour plan is typically more detailed, often supported by annotated photographs to guide precise colour placement across architectural elements. In many cases, I remain involved during implementation to ensure the integrity of the final result.

These projects are priced individually, and typically exceed the standard exterior rate.
