Highland Stone proudly presents the transformation of a Farmhouse living room with the installation of a meticulously crafted New Fireplace. This project showcases our commitment to sustainability by repurposing old fireplace bricks from a historic fire. Additionally, we have sourced local limestone to create bespoke hearth stones, adding a touch of elegance and uniqueness to the design.
Central to this project is the creation of a one-of-a-kind stone mantel, expertly crafted by our skilled Stonemasons. The attention to detail and craftsmanship in this renovation project truly highlights Highland Stone's expertise in Renovations, Living Room Interiors, and Residential Extensions. Our dedication to quality and creativity shines through in every aspect of this project, offering a timeless and stylish addition to the Farmhouse setting.
Stewart is from a little town in the highlands of Scotland called Lossiemouth. He has always been fascinated by historic stone architecture and took up an SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) Masonry apprenticeship after leaving school. His training covered everything from restoration of heritage buildings (including castles, abbeys and churches) and laying stone on new builds.
In 2006, Stewart moved to New Zealand and took up residence in the Waikato. He was one of the first people in the country to complete the new NZQA Certificate in Stonemasonry.
Following the Christchurch earthquakes, Stewart relocated to help with the extensive restoration work being undertaken. After working away from home for a couple of years, he returned to the Waikato and is based in Cambridge doing all types of stonework.
