This palette was extracted from
Award-Winning House
This design features Royal Blue, Cornflower Blue, Sky Blue, Dark Slate Gray, Silver, and Dark Olive Green.
About the Award-Winning House Design: This house for a family of four stands along a railway line in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. To adapt to the site's exposure to train noise, vibrations, and flood risk, reinforced concrete was used. The second floor cantilevers 5.6m toward the street and 3.2m toward the parking area, allowing for single-story-style living on the second level within a three-story structure. Plants are placed throughout the architecture, such as in gardens and terraces, creating spaces where greenery and the built form intertwine, blending the home seamlessly with nature.
This palette has a cool feel, evoking serenity and focus.
