Some homes stand out at first glance through their architecture. This is exactly the effect created by the combination of Lafitt stone and Melville Slik brick on this contemporary single-story residence.
On this project, each product plays a specific role: the stone structures the lower portion of the facade, while the brick defines the upper walls.
Stone and Brick Cladding for a Precisely Structured Facade
Lafitt stone in range Scandina Grey, installed in a modular pattern at the base of the walls, clearly defines the foundation of the residential facade. Its tonal variation and textured surface adds depth without overwhelming the overall design. It creates a natural transition with the front-yard landscape and reinforces the home’s connection to its surroundings.
Melville Slik brick, installed on the upper portion of the facade, captures light and highlights the architectural accents such as window frames and soffits in darker tones. Its elongated format and crisp edges emphasize the home’s horizontal lines and align with the building’s geometry. The combination of stone and brick enhances the facade in a well-balanced way, without excessive contrast or visual breaks.
Range Scandina Grey and Alpine Grey: A Subtle Grey Contrast That Structures the Facade
Range Scandina Grey and Alpine Grey work together without competing with one another: the first reflects light, while the second defines the lower section of the walls. The colours pair naturally with the windows, door and darker accents, while remaining in harmony with the surrounding vegetation.
Masonry That Creates a Visual Path to the Entrance
Stone and brick are not used solely as facade cladding. Together, they help structure the pathway leading to the entrance: the eye follows the stone at ground level, moves up along the walls and is naturally guided toward the front door. The coordination of exterior masonry materials and landscape elements creates a strong visual link between the facade and the spaces surrounding the house.
Other Options using Permacon Products
For a facade in warmer tones, Lafitt stone in range Margaux Beige pairs very well with Melville Slik brick in Cameo Beige. Because both products are available in matching colours, they can be used in a single tone for a uniform, cohesive look.
A Long-lasting Contemporary Look
In this project, the stone-and-brick pairing used integrates seamlessly with the outdoor layout. Durable materials that are easy to maintain contribute to a facade designed to withstand Canada’s weather conditions year after year.
