The highlights: A tough finish achieved with classic materials

Rough stone and lime mortar are tough old artisan materials to build with.

The stone requires skill to fit together, while the mortar can be weaker than modern mortar. Get it right and you have a tough modern wall with natural stones and a rich, creamy texture between them; it looks as unique and attractive as the old building.

Get it wrong and you could have a collapse on your hands!
