Facade · Zhabinka, Belarus

A stone manor on a quiet street

A three-storey private house dressed by hand in layered stone, with dark arched window surrounds, cobblestone corners and a sculpted stone balustrade at the entrance.

Before / after — drag the handle

From plain brick to a stone manor

The facade

Three kinds of stone, one house

The walls are thin layered stone in warm brown and sand tones; the corners and plinth are rounded cobblestones; every window sits in a dark, rough-hewn arch with keystone joints, linked by stone pilasters into one composition.

The entrance stair got a sculpted balustrade with turned balusters and stone balls on the newel posts — all modelled and coloured on site.

During the works

The house was clad wall by wall from the scaffolding: first the garden side, then the street facade.

Half done: the garden side already in stone, the street side still in yellow and white brick

Scaffolding on the long wall: layered stone going up between the arched window surrounds

Entrance: before & after

White balusters and a plain dark plinth became a stone stair: rough-hewn balusters and newel posts with stone balls, cobblestone walls along the stair and the ramp, a stone frame around the garage door.
