When it comes to choosing tiles and cladding, it’s hard to match the beauty and timelessness of natural stone.
As a natural element quarried in the tropical area of Surabaya, the Indonesian Dolomitic Limestone is known for its durability, high density, high resistance to water and to acidic content of rain and soil. Our products are tested and certified to meet the highest quality of architectural specifications. Our Split Face is 6",4" and 12" x random pieces for easier installation. The Width varies from 4" to 24". Perfect for any interior and exterior project. Grade 1, Natural Dolomitic Limestone for Wall use. It is recommended you purchase a minimum of 10% waste to account for design cuts and patterns. Add Long Term Value to your Project, without any need for maintenance.

Nestled in an undeveloped thicket between two homes on Monmouth road, the Eastern corner of this client’s lot plunges ten feet downward into a city-designated stormwater collection ravine. Our client challenged us to design a home, referencing the Scandinavian modern style, that would account for this lot’s unique terrain and vegetation.
Through iterative design, we produced four house forms angled to allow rainwater to naturally flow off of the roof and into a gravel-lined runoff area that drains into the ravine. Completely foregoing downspouts and gutters, the chosen design reflects the site’s topography, its mass changing in concert with the slope of the land.
This two-story home is oriented around a central stacked staircase that descends into the basement and ascends to a second floor master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. The main entrance—a triangular form subtracted from this home’s rectangular plan—opens to a kitchen and living space anchored with an oversized kitchen island. On the far side of the living space, a solid void form projects towards the backyard, referencing the entryway without mirroring it. Ground floor amenities include a bedroom, full bathroom, laundry area, office and attached garage.
Among Architecture Office’s most conceptually rigorous projects, exterior windows are isolated to opportunities where natural light and a connection to the outdoors is desired. The Monmouth home is clad in black corrugated metal, its exposed foundations extending from the earth to highlight its form.

Kitchen in West Trail Drive | Moody Modern Home in Scottsdale, AZ |
Room Type: Full home remodel and furnishings |
Project Name: West Trail Drive Residence |
Key Feature: A moody, modern aesthetic built from the ground up through renovation and furnishings, where every finish, fixture, and piece of furniture was selected to work as a cohesive whole rather than a collection of separate decisions.
Challenge: The home had good bones but felt generic. The clients wanted something that reflected a specific point of view, not a safe Scottsdale palette. The risk with moody, dark interiors is that they can feel heavy or disconnected if the layering isn't right.
Solution: Living with Lolo led both the remodel and the furnishings, which meant the design intent carried through from the walls and floors all the way to how the room actually lives. Because Lauren holds both an interior design credential and an active Arizona ROC general contractor license, there was no handoff between designer and contractor. That single point of accountability kept the vision intact and the project on track.
Materials: Custom cabinetry, natural stone surfaces, designer lighting, curated furniture and textiles sourced through Living with Lolo's trade relationships.
Budget: $150,000 to $400,000 |
Timeline: 4 to 8 months.

These elevations are the backbone of a seamless renovation process. Here's why they matter:
1. For Trades:
Every inch is accounted for—elevations give electricians, plumbers, tile setters, and millworkers exact placement, height, and alignment details. No guesswork means fewer mistakes, no back-and-forth, and smoother scheduling.
2. For Pricing Accuracy:
Clear elevations eliminate the “it depends” from vendor bids. You get real, fixed quotes instead of vague estimates. Every finish, fixture, and feature is detailed upfront for smarter budgeting and better scope control.
3. For the Client Experience:
It’s hard to envision a design from words or even moodboards alone. These elevations show your space—exactly how it will feel and function. Clients can confidently sign off on layout, storage, lighting, and flow because they can see it.
TL;DR:
Want peace of mind and precision at every phase? This is how we build intelligently.
And don’t worry—you don’t have to know every detail. We got you.

With the help of professional specialized in roofing decide on a type of roofing material. Each of the existing roofing materials comes with its own advantages, so you may find it difficult to select a certain material over another one. To help you in this regard, the best recommendation is to select a roof replacement Auckland material that matches the style of your house, and also the overall neighborhood architecture. When selecting roofing materials, you have to pay attention to the current building regulations, because, in some cases, you may not be authorized to select a certain material. And since you, as a home or business owner may not be very familiar with building regulations and codes, it is recommended that you use the services of a professional. A person specialized in roof replacement Auckland can provide you not only with exact measurements of your roof, but also with advice on selecting various roofing materials. Based on the measurements taken by a professional roofer and the roofing material chosen for the job, you have to determine the number of materials that you would actually use to cover your roof. To estimate this number, first you need to know the dimensions of the shingles or tiles that you would use to cover the roof. Take into account that some roofing materials may have to be cut to cover small portions of the roof that are usually found near corners. Labor costs represent another factor that influences roofing cost. Luckily, this is a well established cost that you know from the beginning of your roofing project.
