Nordic Colorful Terraces: The same form in different colors

A row of three-story wooden terraced houses by the water, each house identical in form—the same width, the same double-pitched roof, the same window placement—the only difference being the color of the exterior walls: ochre red, mustard yellow, cobalt blue, dark green, ochre orange, arranged sequentially and non-repeating. The wooden boards are horizontally laid tongue-and-groove planks, painted with opaque mineral paint, colors saturated but matte. Window frames and eaves trim are all white, serving as the only common element. The roof is dark gray tiles. The buildings sit directly on the stone-clad revetment of the waterfront. Avoid: variations in individual house forms, using the same color for window frames as the walls, using pastel or low-saturation colors, using vertical planking for exterior walls.

一排臨水的三層木構連棟住宅,每一戶的形式完全相同——同樣的面寬、同樣的雙斜屋頂、同樣的窗位——唯一的差別是外牆的顏色:赭紅、芥末黃、鈷藍、墨綠、赭橘,依序排列且不重複。木板是水平鋪設的企口板,漆是不透明的礦物漆,顏色飽和但啞光。窗框與屋簷的收邊全部是白色,是唯一的共通元素。屋頂是深灰的瓦。建築直接落到水岸的石砌駁坎上。避免:各戶的形式出現差異、窗框使用與牆同色、顏色使用粉彩或低飽和、外牆使用垂直鋪板。
