New developement going ahead - near franschhoek cape town

A development in Kylemore between Stellenbosch & Franschhoek in Cape Town is finally getting the green light after several years of planning. At first the colors where to be vibrant and bold. which i personally love.  Over the long planning process it seems we are heading towards all white exteriors.

I find many of my original thought designs are tamed considerably. - i will hopefully get to a point,  i sincerely hope where the more wild, bright and vibrant concepts  i design are built as is. However i do understand that the white exterior is more conservative and will appeal to a wider potential home buyer. Color is as important as structure. Its often the most overlooked architectural features, however one of the most powerful. 

Here are both conceptual examples.
