Pattern can be used to add pleasing complexity to a surface or form
and act as a contrast to solid forms. Pattern imbues cultural identity inline
with fashion trends and domestic nostalgia.
Donovan hill are masters of pattern and use it effectively to transform
simple geometry into a complex fabric that is very satisfying to the eye.
Santos Place is a prime example of how a simple rectangular tower can
become beautiful through subtle patterns which are themselves rectangular.
The floor plates form the base of the pattern which is created by variations
in pastel bands of varying colour and translucency. The pattern repeats to
create vertical rhythms through the tower which becomes an intricately glazed
artifact with a finer grain than the surrounding building stock. The colour palate
is optimistic and sophisticated.
