We have completed an interesting custom stone project using a limestone from Quebec. This project called for the installation of large, pre-dimensioned pieces of stone to create the front and rear façade of a new home. The result is a visually striking, modern design that works beautifully with the overall aesthetic of the home and highlights one of the possibilities of building with stone. We are finding that architects, designers and homeowners are increasingly using stone to create contemporary aesthetics. One of the great things about working with a product like limestone is that it can be “finished” a number of different ways, each one creating a unique texture and appearance. The designer on this project chose to have the stone honed to an almost glossy surface, this process really brought out the veins and deep colours, with the finished result looking similar to a dark marble. A beautiful product and a great design, the homeowners can be proud that they are one of the very few in Toronto to have this type of stone work on their house.
