75 Creating Architectural Identity

Patterns with Color and Texture

Just about any exterior wall material can be used to create single color and texture, monolithic planes for enclosing the building. These planes can be composed of brick, stucco, EFIS, metal panels, pre-cast concrete, tilt panel concrete, stone, glass, decorative architectural block and frost proof tiles. Oftentimes, a wall plane can rise to a higher level of interest without additional cost by carefully considering the use of textures and colors to create regular or irregular patterns. Even large walls can be made to look smaller in scale if appropriately designed.
