2.9 EXTERIOR FINISHES Exterior finishes shall be appropriate to the architectural style of the house or building. Exterior finishes are of equal importance to the architectural form itself. Finishes should be used to enhance the built form and to reinforce the overall style. Color, Materials, and Finishes The primary goal of color and materials palettes is to further enhance and define the architectural styles within the Cotino™ community. A variety of materials and colors will provide the diversity required for visual interest while unifying the homes with their settings and creating a timeless appeal. The primary purpose of the architectural color and material palette selection is to avoid monotony, provide a variety of colorful schemes and promote visual diversity. Selected colors and materials should be appropriate to the styles they represent and used to further differentiate from the other styles. The composition of materials and textures contributes to the architectural expression of the residences. Specific materials shall be identified for each architectural style. The chosen materials shall represent the specific architectural style enhancing the community aesthetic. Architectural screens and accessory structures should be compatible in material, color and texture to the main buildings. 2-17 February 2022
