And a new project using stone as a load bearing material.

It is in France this time that we have to look for some new inspiration in stone architecture. What a relief to see our noble material, sustainable, easy to build with (especially with all new lifting gear and mortar). NO staircase here but so many stone got the south and south west of France. We would have loved s cantilever stair or staircase post tension but still you can not argue with the grandiose and raw power of our material compare to the wet cast stone or concrete.
