Panoramic glazing, sharp edges, and a strong black-and-white contrast define this house in Durlești. It does not dissolve into the landscape; instead, it cuts through the snow with a flat white plane and rests on a dark, nearly graphite plinth. The minimalist architecture required an equally honest finish: a monolithic upper volume with clean seams and a solid base that visually reads as natural stone while reliably protecting the walls.
Task
Task
- Form a durable, non-marking, and visually heavy plinth that emphasizes geometry and anchors the house to the terrain.
- Preserve the purity of white facades and accent verticals without overloading details.
- Carry out installation quickly and “dry,” without risks for glazing and insulation during the winter period.
- Ensure long-term performance: resistance to moisture, frost, salts, UV exposure, and impacts.
What the owner received
In Durlești, the façade delivers what the architecture demanded: maximum expressiveness with minimal resources and time. If you want the same sharp contrast and stone appearance without heavy masonry and finishes that survive winters, contact KORDEKO. We will select texture and tone, calculate junctions, and install the façade accurately for your project. If you are planning cladding in the coming weeks and weather conditions are unstable, open the guide “Installing Flexible Stone in Winter and Summer” for details on adhesives, temperatures, and substrate preparation.
- The plinth does not absorb moisture or dirt and easily withstands more than 200 freeze–thaw cycles without fading in sunlight.
- Maintenance is limited to water washing.
- White surfaces do not require annual repainting; junctions are executed to prevent leaks and dust accumulation.
- The house reads as a single object of contemporary stone minimalism.
- System service life exceeds 40 years, with minimal maintenance costs.
- Lightweight material does not overload the structure or foundation.
