Color Scheme: White, Bronze Brown, Deep Red

Location: Kirkland, WA
American Classic Painters repainted the exterior of a three storey apartment building in Kirkland, Washington. The property has open balconies on every floor and covered parking underneath, so the work ran above and around residents and their vehicles while the building stayed fully occupied.
What the finished building looks like
The main body of the building is white. The mansard roof panels are a dark bronze brown, and the balcony railings and the trim that frames them are a deep red brown that picks up the roof colour. The result reads as one deliberate scheme rather than three separate colours sitting next to each other.
What makes an occupied apartment building different
On a multifamily exterior the painting itself is rarely the hard part. Access is. Every balcony is somebody's outdoor space, every carport bay has a car in it, and residents need to get in and out of their own homes every day the crew is on site. That means staging the building in sections, giving notice before each section starts, keeping walkways and parking usable, and protecting vehicles and balcony contents rather than asking people to move them. Property managers are buying a schedule they can communicate to residents as much as they are buying paint.
