Natural Stone

When Contemporary and Traditional Collide

The overall construction and aesthetic of this home screams traditional. However, the Shadow Valley Sawn-Cut Ledgestone from our Altera Collection brings a contemporary edge to this home.  With the white stucco detailing setting a beautiful canvas for other materials to take center stage, the blend of materials and colors transforms this structure into a more current take on the traditional home. Elements such as the garage doors, the lighting, and the glass railings, blend beautifully and cohesively to give this traditional home a contemporary spin; it evokes the feeling of an updated European cottage.

The Sawn-Cut Ledge Stone is a new clean contemporary profile we introduced in late 2019 and our goal was to bring a fresh take on the classic stacked stone look, whilst still having that rustic accent. Whereas the classic ledge stone profiles will have a more rustic vibe, the Sawn-Cut is a contemporary crowd pleaser with its sharp edges, hefty texture, and clean lines. The installation of this stone is best when tight-fitted together to maintain that contemporary vibe and clean look.

Let us know how we can help you achieve the look you want with our diverse library of stone choices! Visit Pacific Art Stone shop in our Surrey location today.
