Dipingiamo! Design della vernice esterna e dettagli di pan di zenzero - 1879 pietra miliare storica nazionale vittoriana

Hi, Designers! Time to paint this gorgeous "painted lady" national historic landmark and get her ready for her first summer opening!

We have selected preferred paint colors, but need your help with the decorative elements and suggesting alternate color schemes. Which accents and colors go where? What exterior patterns and designs should we use? Where should we include additional gingerbread accents to add to the curb appeal and Victorian charm of the building?

We only need artistic impressions / perspectives for this competition - no models, plans or renderings. Please show the building with your suggestions from several different angles:
- front side from across the street,
- right side with the porches as painted/detailed,
- left side, which is a long expanse of wall/the least interesting view (can we use gingerbread details and paint colors to make it more interesting?), and
- the view of the building from the beach - where it should draw the eye and make an impact!

Colors and decorative details:
- The mansard roof - the top floor of the building with all of the dormer windows - will be finished with Victorian fishscale fancy cut shingles. See the pictures and the wall for examples. The shingles will be in Intrigue (a red/poppy color), Behr P160-6. http://www.behr.com/consumer/ColorDetailView/P160-6
- The main building will be in Summer House (an aqua/sea mist color), Behr P430-1. http://www.behr.com/consumer/ColorDetailView/P430-1
- Accents will be in Carbon Copy (a gray color), Behr PPU25-01. http://www.behr.com/consumer/ColorDetailView/PPU25-01
- Additional accents will be in Cotton Sheets (an antique white color), Behr RD W15. http://www.behr.com/consumer/ColorDetailView/RD-W15

Pictures of these colors are also included in the contest files.

With every contest you participate in with us, you'll grow more familiar with our building, our projects and our style, and will carry those advantages into the next contest. Sign up and show us some love - and some brilliant ideas!

Our goal is to develop a beautiful, polished color design for the exterior of this Victorian landmark building - one that will make tourists stop and take pictures as they walk to the beach, and artists set up their easels to sketch and paint this remarkable house.

Here's an example of a previous Arcbazar contest with similar goals - check out the entries:

Intrigue, the red color for the mansard roof shingles, is definitely, 100% what we'll use - we already ordered the shingles and they have been delivered, are pre-painted and ready to install, so that is fixed. The fishscale shape of the mansard roof shingles is also fixed.

All other color choices can be changed. You can and are encouraged to recommend alternative colors for the other paints. We like these colors, so we expect one version with the colors that we have posted here, but from there you can feel free to suggest subtle or drastic changes. Subtle changes might be changing Cotton Sheets to a different white/cream, or changing Carbon Copy to a different/darker gray or black. Drastic changes would be changing the color scheme entirely (always including Intrigue for the mansard roof).

For gingerbread/decorative carpentry, we must maintain all of the existing posts and stick-style decorative beams. Any additional gingerbread or carpentry you suggest (for instance, fascia supports along the left side roof overhang) should complement the existing gingerbread/decorative carpentry.

Feel free to enhance these designs with flower boxes along the porches and any other details you'd like to include to beautify the exterior.

Thanks - and let us know if you have any questions!
