Timeless
surfaces.
Architectural finishes crafted by hand in Utah.
Material.
Texture.
Light.
Venetian plaster, lime wash, Roman clay, Marmorino, micro cement and metallic finishes. Every surface is built up by hand, coat over coat, and worked until the light moves across it.
The depth is in the material and in how it is laid on, not in a pattern or a print. No two walls finish the same way.
Laid on by hand,
coat over coat.
Every finish here is worked wet, by trowel, until the surface holds the light the way the room needs it to.

Look
closer.
The trowel leaves the record. Every pass changes how the surface holds light, and that is the whole point of the material.
Consultation
Understand the space, the light it gets and the finish you have in mind.
Material & finish selection
Settle on the finish and the colour, and prepare samples to look at in the room.
Surface preparation
Prepare and protect the surfaces so the finish has sound ground to sit on.
Hand application
Lay the finish on by hand, coat over coat, working it while it is open.
Final detailing
Burnish the surface, refine the edges and finish the space.
