Dulux Colour Awards Grand Prix winner – The Condensery

Posted on Apr 29, 2016

The Condensery: Somerset Regional Art Gallery,  has been announced as the Grand Prix winner of the 2016 Dulux Colour Awards. The project also received a Commendation in the Commercial Interior (Public Spaces & Hospitality) category, and was the winner of the Commercial Exterior category.

Jury citation:
This project was awarded for its exceptionally clever application of a sole colour in varying shades, seamlessly executed to showcase a beautiful continuity both inside and out. Using an array of reds to tempt any palette from deep oxides to reddish pinks, results in incredible beauty against the rural landscape. The Condensery tells a fascinating, layered story, whilst honouring the original architecture and history of the building. The exterior and interior work in complete harmony with each other, using traditional and contemporary colours in an equally brave and restrained manner, achieving perfect balance and a building for future generations to appreciate.
