Color+Architecture


 * Architecture Island**

We can see pictures of Architecture Island. Predominant colors are white and brown, this is because when the people going to the beach, they want just relax and enjoy the moment. White color means peace, and transmits cleanliness, and neutrality. Help mental clarity, and give us sensation of amplitude. Brown color used for wood, is necessary for give us the sensation of nature, this sensation to be outside with nature, trees, birds, land and all beautiful things that we can found in the island.
