The Block 2022: Simplified and serene

Alison and Christine discuss the simplified colour palette used on House 5


 

House 5 in this season of The Block features a traditional Queenslander as its homestead with incredible views of the Macedon Ranges. The exterior COLORBOND® steel colours are simple and serene - they have been chosen to help nestle this building into the valley surrounding it. On top of the homestead is a COLORBOND® steel roof in Shale Grey, with the pavilion and back buildings all having COLORBOND® steel in Basalt® across both walls and roofs.

Nestled in the landscape

Colour and Design consultant, Christine McCoy likes how these colours combine: “It's really interesting because we've got two colours working together and they sink beautifully into the landscape...because they're at the end of the valley and the Basalt® is surrounding the Shale Grey so it seems to have picked up and echoed the landscape”.

Picture frame

The darker colours behind unite the back buildings, cleverly forming what’s almost a picture-frame as you come up the driveway. Together, the combination of the classic finish in the COLORBOND® steel colours Basalt® and Shale Grey, create a striking and urban colour scheme in this scenic setting, with the Basalt® Matt in particular grounding the structure in the landscape.

Take it anywhere

However, as Christine points out, Basalt® in a Classic or Matt finish - can be used anywhere! It’s a quality that’s transferable to other locations too; it could be in a coastal environment, it can do it in an urban environment, Basalt® has the ability to work anywhere, and that’s why it’s so popular across the country.

Colours

With 22 core colours, and six colours also available in a premium Matt finish, you can enjoy the process of discovering the perfect colour scheme for your dream home.
