Jeff Doubét Talks About – Stone Masons Create an Authentic Stone Facade in Montecito CA
“Hey guys, I’m still here on the scene with the stone masons as they start to install this authentic stone facade. We’re here in Montecito California and the little stone house initially was designed, I had local Santa Barbara sandstone in mind for the stone cladding of the building.
But the clients were very particular… with a dream of having it look- very French. So they actually imported flagstone, this flagstone from France as well as antique roof tiles. So, I’m gonna be extremely interested, it’s clearly you know becoming a beautiful project already, and I wanted to share this photo because the stone masons are creeping up on this arched opening.
This is the pedestrian entry to the garage, from the courtyard… and it’s a pretty complicated arched, you know it’s a chamfered opening and there will be an arched door you know… after this thick opening of stone.
So thought I would show you this shot… it wasn’t easy getting it. Rocks were, rock chips were flying as they were using saws and chipping stone with chisels and it was quite fun. But I was able to kind of weasel my way close enough to capture this shot- and thought you would enjoy it.
Please come back often- I’m showcasing more and more photos of this project. It’s a favorite client and favorite project of mine- and as I have time, I will upload more photos. Thanks for spending time on the site!”
