Bondi Beach is big, lively, beautiful … and people certainly don’t go there to look at a ‘dunny’ block. So, for the North Bondi Public Amenities, colour was used to camouflage and harmonise the toilets with the environment rather than to make them stand out.

So many houses exhibit the same neutral colour schemes. Intended to be polite, they avoid scrutiny and arouse little passion. I believe generic colour schemes disengage the end user.

Wareemba Boogie Woogie mural connects different elements, bringing them together in a choreographed dance for the pure pleasure of those who live and visit there, it celebrates good neighbours and enriches a quiet suburban street corner.

I love the Australian Standards colour palette (AS2700-2011). It’s partially because the colour names represent place-based things: Waratah Red, Wattle Yellow, Koala Grey, Blue Gum, Wombat and Bondi Blue, to mention just a few.
