Horowhenua
Part of the strategy was to look at providing vibrancy through the campground for visual cohesion and to celebrate the great ‘Kiwi’ camping experience.
Prorata was engaged by Horowhenua District Council to provide landscape consultancy for the upgrade of existing facilities at the Foxton Beach Motor Camp to enhance visitor experience and increase occupancy numbers. Part of the strategy was to look at providing vibrancy through the campground for visual cohesion and to celebrate the great ‘Kiwi’ camping experience.
Prorata drew upon the local ‘Seascape’ landscape character of Foxton Beach where tide change and tonal wave lines are consistent on this stretch of west coast beach. Themes of ‘retro’ caravan awning patterns were used to come up with the multi-toned vertical screenings found throughout the camp. Colours were drawn from water tones with the following Resene Lumbersider colours selected: Resene Anakiwa, Resene Gulf Stream, Resene Guru and Resene Endorphin. These were set against Resene Athens Grey, Resene Bokara Grey and trims in crisp white on the cabin.
Resene Lumbersider was used as most applications were over existing painted structures or on new rough sawn timbers in an external situation.
