Architectural Stone

The Timeless elegance of stone has been used by man to enhance his surroundings since the dawn of civilisation, and today, man still relies upon stone natural warmth and versatility to create harmonious surroundings in both architectural and ornamental settings.

Quarried stone however, does have its drawbacks. Internal faulting and fissures are not always recognizable and it is prone to lamination and decay.

To overcome these natural failings, the David Sharp Studio have developed a system whereby any architectural design in stone can be reconstructed using the most modern processes yet retaining the dignity and elegance of the natural counterpart, at a fraction of the cost of carved stone.
