The exterior stone veneer facade wainscoting and landscape stone walls of this modern prairie style stucco and stone home design feature a custom version of Fond du Lac Tailored Blend full veneer stone masonry. Rather than the standard mix of heights, this client selected Fond du Lac Cut Stone sawn to five inch heights for a modern coursed pattern using a light colored standard width grout mortar masonry rather than tight joints or dry stacked stone.
Both Fond du Lac Tailored Blend stone sawn full or thin stone veneers and Fond du Lac stone cut custom bring sophisticated natural stone color arctic tones of Fond du Lac material to modern exterior architecture and interior stone veneer designs. For this particular stone home, each piece was sawn to a precision height of five inches for a contemporary appearance complementary to low-pitched roofs, broad overhanging eves, vertical metal siding, stucco, and a coursed pattern with overall strong horizontal lines. The natural stone color range of Fond du Lac stone includes grays, light grays, buffs, and whites. Monochromatic neutral tones are in keeping with the subtleties of modern design.
The same version of Fond du Lac Tailored Blend was also used for the landscape stone walls. A finished full or thin stone veneer and dry stacked stone or mortar masonry installation in the Dimensional stone pattern is characterized by sawn rises and specified heights. Color, texture, pattern, and the surface finish of the stone are also normal requirements. Another important criterion is durability for maintaining characteristics of strength, resistance to decay, and appearance. All of these positives add up to a modern design with timeless durability.
