Large House – Intimate Detail

One of the most difficult architectural achievements is designing and creating a huge house that draws your attention, not because of its size but its intimacy, proportions and quality of detail. This large home is a perfect example of a triumph of detail over mass. Smooth-faced cut limestone is a backdrop of intimate carved detail. The difference in off-the-shelf stock cast stone molding and detail with each piece designed and carved out of stone is quite significant. This home represents how Sebastian Construction Group, which is often appreciated for taking on substantial projects, is also known to architects for their ability to implement complicated design. In this case they transferred front façade architectural details to shop drawings for 500 pieces of carved stone that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, creating a graceful façade.
