Stone stairs, floors & terraces

Every tread and riser cast and textured as weathered sandstone, coloured layer by layer in honey, ochre and grey, then sealed for daily use. Under the forged oak-leaf railing the stair reads as one carved stone spiral.

The concrete flight was built up and modelled by hand: stone texture pressed into the fresh layer, cracks and edges cut, then colour and a protective glaze. The railing stays wrapped in film until the stone is finished.

A wide two-flight stair to the front door: massive slab-like treads with rough-split edges, cracks and a weathered surface in grey, olive and ochre — the same stone language as the terrace floor and the flagstone walls.

Under the long covered terrace the concrete slab became a floor of large irregular flagstones: each slab cut, textured and coloured on the spot in honey, rust and slate tones, with a raised stone kerb along the edge and around the pillars. The walls are clad in matching hand-made flagstone.

The guest house at the agro-estate on the edge of the Białowieża Forest, and the entrance stairs while still in raw concrete.

A plain cast-concrete wall along the house became a stone planter: irregular stones in grey, ochre and rust tones and a heavy rough-hewn coping, matching the stone of the house.
