When Nigel Livingstone from well known architects
John Duffy Design Group wanted architectural precast dressings for
a new pub in Londonderry, he contacted Craftstone.
Construction of the building had already started
and the only items which could be built-in were the sills and string
course at first and second floor levels. These were supplied in
a heavily exposed aggregate finish in a bath stone colour. Window
surrounds, door surrounds and corner stones were made in glassfibre
reinforced cement (GRC). This allowed the contractor to fix the
dressings after the construction of the building was complete, thus
causing no delays to programme.
The corner stones and door surrounds were surface
finished to give an antique
appearance which blends well with the Tuscan-like plaster finish.
