East River Plaza currently has a simple, clean lined exterior that will be transformed with a single, well considered, paint colour selection - along with notable hours of prep and painting labor, certainly.
Well positioned within a high-traffic business hub and up-and-coming new development, that colour selection could set this commercial building apart with a subtle hue that simultaneously feels fresh and timeless.
Design | Outcome Goal:
Refresh this tired commercial exterior while being considerate to both tenant signage | branding and surrounding commercial properties - Shoppers Drug Marts Red, Standard Auto Glass's Black, and the New Complex Black and White - while maintaining an enduring aesthetic.
The proposed concepts depicted below all have the same finish application:

The proposed concepts depicted below all have the same finish application:
- Preserving the Existing Stonework - refreshed only with a deep pressure-spray cleaning
- Keeping all Window & Door Framework Existing, Original Colour Finish
- Painting All Siding and Metal Soffit [Overhang on Upper Level Plaza] - a single colour selection.

Lets take a look...
Additional Option 1: BM, Middlebury Brown | HC - 68
|
|
Middlebury Brown | Exterior Video This true, rich brown will be timeless. A modified take on the typical black & white commercial exterior, this color evokes warmth and depth that compliments the beautiful natural hue of the stonework and allows the plaza to gracefully stand out amongst the surroundings. [blacks, whites, reds, etc.] |
|
Middlebury Brown | Sun Time Lapse Middlebury brown will translate beautifully as the sun moves. The rich, deep tones translate both when the sun shines directly, as well as on dreary days. |
|
Additional Option 2: BM, Chantilly Lace | 2121 - 70
|
|
Chantilly Lace | Exterior Video As requested, a white color definitely feels bright, fresh and clean. With this application, just like interior spaces, a crisp white background allows for the layers on top - i.e. company branding - to stand out and for the dimension of the blocks to be less noticeable. A downfall to this option is that it will show dirt and debris and require cleaning | maintenance in order to maintain the fresh and clean look. |
|
Chantilly Lace | Sun Time Lapse Bright white will allow for this building to remain consistent throughout the day. Of course with natural variation, the sun has the least affect on Chantilly Lace than all other options. |
|
BM, Wrought Iron | 2124-10
|
|
Wrought Iron | Exterior Video Dark, neutral tones evoke a sense of elegance and sophistication. The 'safest' option, a few steps away from true black, this color will cause the building to fall away against the more substantial buildings, especially the new apartment complex. |
|
Wrought Iron | Sun Time Lapse It is always important to consider how natural light will affect exterior colors. On a bright, sunny day, this color will appear a more ashy grey, rather than a dark charcoal on a more somber day. |
|
BM, Hale Navy | HC-154
|
|
Hale Navy | Exterior Video This subtle navy blue is calm and powerful. Although this is not a vibrant blue, it offers more visual interest against the environment than a neutral black. |
|
Hale Navy | Sun Time Lapse It is important to note that this color may appear quite dark and moody on a cloudier day. Although, when the sun is shining, the soothing blue tones are very pleasant. The natural variation of this color is part of the appeal. |
|
BM, Tarrytown Green | HC-134
|
|
Tarrytown Green | Exterior Video Green is associated with positive environments and in many, evokes a sense of luck. This color will draw the eye towards the building as you approach, while still functioning as a simple backdrop for company signage. |
|
Tarrytown Green | Sun Time Lapse This color translates very well in both sun and shade. A rich and stunning color in contrast to the neutrality of the others. |
