In this contemporary residential project, Lafitt stone in Oasis is used as masonry facade cladding to establish clear visual continuity between the house and its surroundings. The choice of this stone veneer connects the facade, the driveway entrance and the outdoor space through shared materials, with an emphasis on clean lines and a harmonious composition, free of unnecessary effects.
A Masonry Stone Facade That Enhances the Architecture
Lafitt masonry stone, with its light Oasis colour and its texture inspired by cut stone, adds depth and character to large wall surfaces. Natural light reveals the stone’s nuances throughout the day, while exterior lighting in the evening highlights the mortar joint, enhancing the texture of the masonry while maintaining an overall sense of lightness.
An Installation Choice That Shapes the Final Look
Here, the concrete stone is installed with standard mortar joints, which highlight the masonry pattern and clearly structure the facade. Each stone is well defined, helping organize the surfaces and give the building a strong architectural presence. This type of installation is particularly well suited to projects seeking a clean, durable finish, regardless of architectural style.
A Garage Entrance Highlighted by Stone
Lafitt stone in the Oasis colour enhances the driveway entrance paved with Permacon Vendome pavers in Newport Grey. The paver colour complements the facade without competing with it, creating a smooth transition between the building and the driveway area. The driveway becomes an integral part of the overall design rather than a purely functional zone. The stone cladding acts as a visual anchor that naturally guides the eye toward the home’s entrance.
Material Coordination Across the Entire Property
The project is based on precise coordination of materials between the facade and the landscape design. The stone used on the exterior walls harmonizes with the driveway pavers and adjacent surfaces, ensuring visual continuity between the house and its immediate surroundings. This approach structures the entire property and avoids any visual break between the building and the outdoor space.
A Stone Suited to Multiple Architectural Styles
Lafitt stone integrates naturally into a wide range of architectural styles. Rather than imposing a specific look, it serves as a neutral mineral base that blends seamlessly with its surroundings.
In farmhouse or country-style architecture, its texture and nuanced tones recall traditional stone while maintaining a refined finish. In mid-century or modern contexts, its light colour and regular pattern complement clean lines and well-defined volumes. When used in traditional or Canadian craftsman settings, it reinforces a sense of solidity and permanence without weighing down the facade.
Depending on the desired style, the final appearance can be adjusted through mortar selection, stone layout and combinations with other materials such as wood, metal or additional cladding.
A Material Designed to Withstand the Elements
Beyond aesthetics, Lafitt stone by Permacon is designed to maintain its appearance over time. Its colour is integrated throughout the product, ensuring long-term stability even on surfaces highly exposed to Canada’s climate. Whether used as a full facade cladding or as an accent, this stone offers a durable solution for residential architecture.
