Color Committee Proposals for Exterior Colors

The SWC color committee has just completed the creation of two color scheme options for consideration by the owners in SWC, as directed by the Board of Directors. The committee began by determining what the City of Redmond Design Review Board’s requirements would be. Our new colors were subject to their approval and we could no longer have one color for the entire community. Next, we hired a color consultant who has experience in creating color combinations for condo communities. We met on-site to review the unique architectural elements of SWC as well as had numerous meetings involving multiple combinations of color choices, narrowing the list. Lastly, we used the design resources of a local firm to place the colors on architectural renderings of the buildings-making final adjustments to the colors. The result is two color schemes. Each of the two schemes features 3 different body colors, each to be used on two of the 6 buildings. Every building would have one main body color, a coordinating accent color and separate trim color. The entire community would have the same door and window trim as well as front door colors. Specific colors have not been assigned to individual buildings, so you’ll want to think of the community as a whole, rather than “what color is my building?” The two color schemes being presented reflect the attempt to create a look which provides a fresh update and as broad an appeal as possible.

The color committee and board members will present the colors in the pre-construction meeting to be held at Lake Washington School District meeting room on Nov 5th, 7PM. At the meeting, there will be displays of the buildings showing the different colors. Please bear in mind that PC monitors always display the colors differently and are not a reliable way to see true color tones.
