Sunbather

The Quay Apartments

Careful attention to finishing and detailing, means the view on the inside of these apartments is as picture perfect as the view to the outside.

Built on the waterfront overlooking beautiful Tasman Bay, the first stage of the three stage The Quay Apartments quality development comprises eight large apartments.

Nelson is famous for its high sunshine hours. While a boon to sunlovers, the drenching of sunlight can create issues when selecting finishes. Due to the apartments' westerly orientation, the interior walls were subject to strong afternoon cross lighting, necessitating careful consideration of critical lighting issues for the interior specification. Resene Broadwall 3 in 1 was selected and applied by spray to provide a smooth monolithic finish complementing the Level 5 construction beneath and enabling a superb Level 5 finish to be achieved. Quick to apply by spray, other subcontractors could quickly access the site and complete their part of the project.

Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen waterborne enamel on broadwall areas minimises surface reflection providing a seamless sheen throughout each interior joined by Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel on trims and joinery in palettes of Resene Quarter Drought (dry beige), Resene Half Drought (dusty taupe) and Resene Napa (smoky grey beige) on the show apartment and similarly balanced palettes of Resene Fossil (beige), Resene Sea Fog (grey white) and Resene Pearl Lusta (classic cream) on neighbouring apartments.

Careful attention to finishing and detailing, means the view on the inside of these apartments is as picture perfect as the view to the outside.
