Any colour, so long as its green

Projecting the right image is important for any company. But, as Resene notes, many firms today are equally concerned about environmental factors.

Many architects are working towards the office of the future - creating designs that take into account sustainability, adaptability and changing work trends. So it's not surprising that materials are also evolving to cater to the requirement for a 'green office'. The new Environment Canterbury office development and civil defence headquarters in Christchurch, for example, was designed as a green office. Here, Resene Environmental Choice products met the need for waterborne or natural pigment paints that reduce toxic gas emissions. These include a selection of Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel, Resene Zylone Sheen low-sheen acrylic and Resene Aquaclear waterborne urethane paints.

Marketing manager Karen Warman says the company's Environmental Choice New Zealand programme is endorsed by the Minister for the Environment. The approved status of the Resene products was a key reason for their inclusion in the Environment Canterbury project.

"They enabled the project to achieve its environmental objectives without sacrificing product performance," she says.

Warman says other special coatings from Resene are also being used by companies looking to raise their office profile. A typical example is the Dalman Architecture premises in Christchurch. The precast concrete exterior was finished in Resene Uracryl tinted to Resene Thunderbird - a bright red-orange colour.

Warman says Resene Uracryl is a high-performance, two-component finish. "It is particularly resistant to abrasion, moisture, petroleum solvents, mineral and vegetable oils, alkalis and acids," she says. "As well as providing this protection, Resene Uracryl has an attractive finish."

At the new Dalman Architecture premises, the exterior is coated in Resene Uracryl, tinted to Resene Thunderbird. This high-performance coating is designed to provide high gloss and colour retention.

Resene Thunderbird also features inside the Dalman Architecture offices - in Resene Super Gloss paint. Here, the vibrant colour defines work spaces.

"Starting in the director's office, it weaves in an angular fashion, bisecting the rectangular open-plan space to create a variety of work areas," says Warman. "All other walls form a low-sheen backdrop of Resene Black White, a neutral white, which allows the company to showcase artworks and recent projects.

Another example of bold colour used to create a dramatic entrance is the Trends Publishing reception area, which features Resene Voodoo on plastered surfaces.
