Expressive colours and

finishes for expressive
architecture
There are many ways to express aesthetics through finishes and colours in archi-
tecture. Our visual perception changes according to shifting light – such as the
time of day, the changing seasons and the play between light and shade.
Moisture, rain, frost and light all anchor a structure within its environ-
ment and make shapes and moods more tangible.

Therefore, finishes and colours are among the strongest means

of expression in architecture. They convey a building’s identity
and individuality, create distinctiveness and impressively
shape the appearance of modern buildings.

Kalzip roof and facade systems enable classic and

sophisticated architectural styles to be
materialised and give form to modern archi-
tecture like no other building system can.
