By Italian Eco Style
This amazing new build sits right on top of Muriwai Beach on the West Coast. Italian Eco Style ltd was engaged to create a unique space that would organically blend in with the surrounding environment. The client like the concrete finish look and we decided to go with a very soft, elegant and more organic look.
All surfaces including splash back in the kitchen and the bathroom walls were decorated using our lime base Marmorino Concrete Finish. Do you want to make your home fabulous too?
We are a trusted Italian family operating in the building industry. We specialise in importing and applying natural limestone plasters (Venetian Plaster, Marble Plaster etc ) and natural render applications since 1960. We have a great passion for art, architecture, history, design and clean living.
Our father Vasori Battista, started his apprenticeship as a painter and plasterer in the early 60's. Over 20 years he taught us the specialist craft of traditional plaster, design and best building practices to achieve superior results in the most environmentally conscious way.
Throughout his career our father soon discovered various applications and styles that could be created by adding natural mineral powders to natural plaster. This creates marble effects on the finished applications.
Over the years it has since been identified that the materials and techniques of applications used by our father (and now us) were actually ancient methods of preserving walls from mould and humidity. This is due to the composition of the limestone powder which is very alkaline making it difficult for spores to propagate on plastered surfaces – Venetian Plaster, Marmorino, Crazy Stone Plaster and Concrete finish.
In the early years our father was not aware of the overall benefits of the alkaline composition. However, we are very proud to say that many of the masterpieces he has created have more than survived the test of time.
