This type of design is not the usual contemporary style. It has some of the standard features for this type of design but it’s also unique and different from the majority of similar structures. The originality stands in the stonework. This is a detail usually found in traditional or historic buildings. In this case the stonework is a detail designed with a contemporary twist. The image created is deceptive and the surprise is even greater.
