Strength underfoot

In contemporary home architecture there is an increasing focus on blending outdoor and indoor spaces. One way to achieve a seamless connection is to use enduring materials that can be used in both environments.

Stone is a natural material that can have a soft, subtle look, which masks its robust qualities. In the outdoor living area featured here, beige-coloured Tuscan Sandstone® tiles from Original Stone create a sweeping design statement.

Following the curvature of the pool surround, the expansive tiled areas provide visual contrast to the lush landscaping and rugged rock formations.

Tuscan Sandstone is available from Original Stone in a large range of sizes, colours and textures. It can be used in a variety of applications, from paving to fireplaces, both indoors and out.

Original Stone supplies solid stone products to architects, retailers, tradespeople and developers throughout New Zealand. This home, together with other buildings featuring the company's products, can be viewed on its website.
