This house will be one to beat in our book of projects, a true masterpiece and an amazing group of people pulled this all together. I will miss the early morning coffee and scenic views. It felt like I brought everything but the kitchen sink.Īs this project nears its end we get a chance to enjoy a few moments of reflection, to think of all the hard work that goes into our clients projects and everyone involved. One thing about working on an Island is making sure you have “everything” you need. Here are some photos of the progress of building out the fireplace and getting things ready for finish coat.Įnjoying a glass of wine at the end of hard work day. Lime plaster is a non-combustible material making it a great finishing material for hi-heat applications. I can’t wait to see photos when the wood burning fireplace is running this fall/winter. The hearth was waxed to add extra protection and differentiate the upper and lower area of the fireplace. The end finish we created is polished to an effect of gun metal with hints of bronze metallic which add an undertone of brown to this black Tadelakt fireplace. The powder form gives the installer the ability to add larger amounts of colorants if needed, although this can effect the working properties of the Lime plaster material if excessive amounts of colorant are used. Tadelakt is a feebly hydraulic lime similar to NHL 3.5. Tadelakt comes in powder instead of paste. I decided that Tadelakt Italian Lime plaster was the best material for the project. The pictures of the concepts they showed had a metal look. This house was no exception with a 14 foot tall fireplace as the main feature to the living area. When I get asked to create samples for fireplaces its always something new.
