Time-worn images of sandstone

A subtly balanced scheme of washed-out sandstone textured finish in a warm Mediterranean tone, red wood stain and a metallic finish tinted to aubergine provides a cohesive and contemporary entrance for Wellington's World Trade Centre.

The simplicity of the national sandstone finish of Resene Sandtex, applied in a Crows Foot fashion, has turned a flat, stark wall into a feature of movement with the mellow patina of age.
