This expansive 2009 built mansion in Aberdeenshire is one of our most impressive accomplishments.
The mostly natural split face granite frontage ties well to the harled sides and rear. Granite mullions, lintels, jambs and sills help create the bold presence of the double stacked bay windows. Windows in the harled sections of the house use a simple bush hammered sill to elegantly hint at the granite nature of the building without the grand character of the fully granite front.
Although there is a large quantity of granite on this project, costs were kept within reason by using stock sizes and a natural split face finish for most of the blocks.
