Villa AM Stone Cladding in Progress

Handcrafted stone cladding in southern Lebanon involves meticulous site analysis and careful material selection from the region's diverse stones, such as limestone and sandstone. After selecting materials, stones are quarried and shaped using artisanal techniques that minimize waste and respect traditional methods. Transportation requires careful logistical planning due to the stones' weight and fragility. Installation begins with preparing the structure for stability, with cladding applied using adhesives. Design patterns enhance the façade's visual appeal. Finally, sealing or treating the stones protects against the region's climate, ensuring durability and integration with the landscape, reflecting southern Lebanon's rich cultural heritage.
