STAND-OUT STONEWORK FOR FOREVER HOMES
TIMELESS CRAFTSMANSHIP MEETS MODERN DESIGN
Upgrade your home with an expression of style. Chilstone works with architects and homeowners, handcrafting bespoke architectural stone components to bring their vision to life.
Modern masterpiece
Feature windows and door surrounds don’ t have to be totally traditional to blend with neighboring properties. Our stonework can bring bold, modern designs, like this one by architect, Satish Jassal, to life and make a statement of its own.
This five-bedroom family home in London, mixes traditional and modern designs to create this contemporary property that will age gracefully. The stepped stone tracery handmade by Chilstone in a golden tone, has been selected to complement the burnt brown of the bricks and the white window trim. The tracery wraps around the ground and first floors like a yellow ribbon, bringing all the style elements together.
The impressive picture window bathes the interior in light, but it also adds visual impact on the exterior. Combined with the statement door surround, it creates the wow factor. Shortlisted for RIBA London, this property’ s handmade stonework brings lasting character.
Traditional stone features
For those designing a more traditional countryside home, our Georgian inspired window surrounds create a desirable exterior whilst maximizing the light, for airy rooms inside. This large residence includes quoins, stringcourse and an elegant portico, all handmade to order for the quintessentially British family home, that stands the test of time. This property has the perfect combination of character features outside and modern luxury inside. This contemporary home with a nod to the past is the perfect solution for new builds surrounded by period properties.
Property focal points
Our Architectural stone isn’ t just for new builds. Features, such as cast stone porticos can be retrofitted to transform properties, and not just the traditional, period ones. Our bespoke design, colour-matching and clever styling can bring together mis-matched extensions, adding a new lease of life to make stand-out homes that were once underwhelming. The right portico as a central design feature creates a chic, modern focal point at the heart of the property. With Chilstone’ s knowledge and skill, we can provide a cost-effective portico to hide drainpipes and wiring, delivering a practical solution for a stylish and welcoming entrance. The addition of a portico can boost curb appeal and protect doorways from the weather. Talk to Chilstone’ s team to bring your property projects to life.
