The brief
One material language across every surface.
The stonework needed to read as part of the architecture, not as an applied finish. The installation continues across broad wall areas, tight returns and tall openings while maintaining one balanced pattern.
Each visible transition was considered during set-out so corners feel continuous, smaller pieces remain controlled and the joint rhythm stays consistent across the facade.
The craft
The quality is in the transitions.
Large walls attract attention, but corners, openings and returns determine whether the whole installation feels resolved.
- Individual stone selection and shaping
- Continuous pattern through external corners
- Controlled joints around windows and openings
- Protection of adjoining finished surfaces
