PETRO STONE Armenia

SECTION 03

Architecture

01 BUILD-UP

This is how travertine becomes a house

One plot, one camera position, state after state. Scrolling lifts the house out of the ground and holds it wherever you stop. Our part of the work is already behind this: from here the stone lives inside the project.

Visualisation: the finished house clad in travertine, glazed, landscaped, warm light in the windows

01 - THE GROUND

LAND BEFORE THE FIRST STONE

we start at the other end, at the quarry face

THE BASE

STRUCTURE RISES OUT OF THE GROUND

slab, column grid, first level

THE FRAME

FLOOR PLATES CLOSE THE VOLUME

beams, cantilevers — the facade is waiting for stone

CLADDING

TRAVERTINE CLOSES THE HOUSE

facade, glazing, light inside — the stone in place

SCROLL VISUALISATION

02 THE VOLUME

One stone, the whole house

This is not a building and not a portfolio. It is the material shown in architecture: how travertine sits on a facade, on a step, on a floor and on a wall indoors.

STATES OF THE PLOT

One camera position, moment after moment: ground, frame, volume waiting for stone. Cut to size and architectural elements made to drawing.

VISUALISATION

  1. Visualisation: an empty plot with terraces, olive trees and a mountain range behind

    01 The plot

    Terraces, olive trees, a mountain range behind. Not a gram of stone yet.

  2. Visualisation: a bare column grid on an empty plot, before the floor plates

    02 The frame

    A column grid comes out of the ground. The cladding line is already readable.

  3. Visualisation: a structural frame with beams and cantilevered plates, not yet clad

    03 The volume

    Beams and floor plates are in. The facade is waiting for stone.

ONE WALL, TWO HOURS

Travertine is porous: light settles into the stone rather than bouncing off it. By day and at dusk this is the same wall — and not the same tone.

VISUALISATION

Visualisation: a two-storey house clad in travertine, seen from the road in daylight

Day

A warm, light tone — the character of travertine from the Ararat deposit.

Visualisation: the same travertine-clad house at dusk, lit from within

Dusk

The same facade at sunset: the grain deepens, the tone warms, the light stays in the stone.

INSIDE

The same stone indoors: wall, floor, step, edge. One stone, different finishes.

VISUALISATION

Visualisation: an interior with a travertine wall, a long fireplace and a view over the valley

Wall and fireplace

An unbroken travertine wall with a long fireplace and the stair; the valley through glass.

Visualisation: a living room with travertine floor and walls, dining beyond, mountains through glass

Living room

Floor, walls and furniture from one stone. The tone holds across the whole plane.

Visualisation: an open living space with a fireplace and kitchen, all in travertine

Open plan

One space: fireplace, living, kitchen. The stone works on the floor and on the wall alike.

Every image on this page is a visualisation of the material. None of them is a photograph of a Petro Stone project and none of them is a portfolio: they show what the stone becomes, not work we have carried out.

03 ARCHITECTURE

Visualisation

Stone becomes building

This is where our part ends and yours begins. From here the stone lives inside the project: on the facade, on the floor, on the stair, on the edge of a countertop.

FACADE RHYTHM

Composed from the real surfaces of our stone: a cladding set-out, not a picture of a building.

Visualisation: a minimalist lobby with a travertine feature wall and stone bench

INSIDE

The same stone indoors: a travertine feature wall and bench in the calm light of a lobby.
