waterfront welcome

Picton waterfront

Design of the landscape elements and furniture throughout the Town Square and Promenade draw from the project concepts of ‘looking out and coming ashore’.

Picton waterfront

Picton with its population of only 4000 is remote from city pressures. But it needed a waterfront to provide a focus and heart for the town – a place that would also help it host the hundreds of thousands of ferry passengers that pass through the town every year.

Design of the landscape elements and furniture throughout the Town Square and Promenade draw from the project concepts of ‘looking out and coming ashore’. Furniture elements accented with colour are located along the lines of movement to and from the heart of the square.

The perforated side panels to the seats and poles are painted in either vibrant Resene Uracryl 403 tinted to Resene Supernova (bold yellow) providing a strong accent and animation to different views across the site, or Resene Blast Grey 1 (charcoal metallic) finish to provide a visually recessive, calm complement to the base furniture colour of Resene Pure Pewter metallic finish. The coatings combine both a contrast and complement of finished texture – the flatter textured metallic with the gloss enhances the duality of the colour selection.

The design of the light poles painted in Resene Pure Pewter metallic eases the tall structures into the currently open site. Straight single poles combine with clusters of bending poles, arranged at key locations to evoke the masts of the adjacent boats around the marina. As with the seating, cut panels finished in Resene Blast Grey 1 or Resene Supernova are located on each pole to respond to the particular views.

The use of the Resene Pure Pewter for the furniture structures and in particular on the circular section poles makes the most of the light reflective qualities of the paint, softening the visual presence while complementing the weathered finish of the timber, stone and concrete used within the wider project. Resene Supernova is reminiscent of the yellow used on Picton’s branded furniture, logo and represented in the planting of the project.

As well as adding to the aesthetic appeal, the Resene Uracryl 403 also provides excellent anti-graffiti durability on the large areas of painted steel, helping to keep the project looking good for the stream of visitors passing through.
