Toorak

We’re currently working on a beautiful build in the very highly-esteemed neighborhood of Toorak, and couldn’t be happier with the progress we’ve made over the last 12 months. This stunning home will boast 88 fluted/tapered columns, as well as a staggering 40 moulded arches; Grand is an understatement!

We have organized to have every piece of stone carved on-site to create the arched shape at the front entrance. Inside, the house has a magnificent sense of height, with 5-meter-tall ceilings, only adding to the colossal nature of this design.

This project has truly given our gifted Stonemasons an excuse to showcase their craftsmanship using SA Bruhn Limestone – what an achievement!

Process:

• Treat the stone to remove all the grime and mould over the last 100 years
• Remove the cement mortar 
• Wash/treat stone
• Repoint the mortar joints with lime putty so the stone can breathe properly
• Seal stone to finish the restoration works
