STONE DESCRIPTION:
Beautiful Derbyshire carboniferous sandstone, Stanton Moor which has been used widely across the UK for all scale of projects – from major prestigious city centre schemes to commercial, residential developments, restoration and conservation projects.
Stanton Moor buff sandstone is a fine to medium grained sandstone is extracted from Dale View Quarry, Stanton-by-Dale, Derbyshire. The striking colour of Stanton Moor sandstone features a buff base with brown, gold and wild pink variation, adding depth and interest to both traditional and contemporary building designs. Extensive reserves allow selection from either Buff of Pink colour options.
PROJECT SUMMARY:
A new build extension to the original Cathedral building connects to the original building on the upper floor, providing four virtually self-contained suites.
A slope across the site allows each of the 2 floors to have ground level access.
THE BUILD SOLUTION:
Stanton Moor buff sandstone provided the new extension with the prefect stone match to the original Cathedral building.
This indigenous sandstone capable of being worked to a high degree of precision provided this new extension with a non intrusive structure which blends almost seamlessly into the original building.
