Coral stone: material, place and performance

Read before specifying

Not every coral stone performs in the same way. Format, porosity, sealing, exposure and maintenance must be considered before it becomes a visual gesture.

A strong specification connects beauty with real use.

Light completes the material

In grazing light, the surface reveals depth. Under flat illumination, much of its presence is lost. Designing with stone also means designing the shadow that accompanies it.

Fewer applications, better chosen

We prefer to concentrate the material where it adds transition, scale or tactility. Indiscriminate repetition turns it into decoration. Precision returns it to architecture.
