The weathertight shell: roof and facade
The house closes off from the weather and gains its face. Roof, windows and facade stone — the envelope that keeps the warmth and makes the first impression.
01 — What it is
The house closes off — and gains its face
The weathertight shell is the roof, the windows and the facade. Once the house is closed, work inside can go on in any weather, while outside it gains what the whole thing was for: the order, stone, cornices and decor to the facade drawings. It is the most «photogenic» stage — and at the same time the one that decides whether the house will be warm and dry.
- The truss system and roof build-up for heavy roofing
- Windows and glazing — warmth and a sealed envelope
- Facade stone, render, the order and decor to the drawings
- Drainage, flashings and moisture protection of joints
02 — From trusses to stone
The shell that holds warmth and beauty
The roof closes the house, the facade dresses it. We run both to the working drawings — and the result is a facade carried from the sheet to the stone.
03 — How the stage goes
From the roof to a finished facade
First we close the house from above, then set the windows and clad the facade — in the right order, so work inside can already begin.
The roof
The truss system, membrane, insulation and roof covering.
Windows
Installation of windows and glazing — the shell is closed and sealed.
The facade
Stone, render, order, cornices and decor to the working drawings.
Moisture joints
Drainage, flashings and junctions — the house stays dry for decades.
04 — What you receive
A house under roof and in stone
- The truss system and roof build-up
- Roof covering: tiles, standing seam or copper
- Windows and glazing with warm installation
- Facade stone, render and architectural decor
- The drainage system, flashings and joint protection
- A warm and dry shell — the basis for finishing
05 — The project path
Six stages — one author
Each stage can be commissioned separately. But the true value is the whole path: a house led by the project's author from the excavation to the keys under one responsibility, with proven contractors at every stage.
Why us
Why clients trust us with the shell
The facade as drawn
Stone, order and decor are executed to our own working drawings, without simplifications.
Warm and dry
The roof and facade joints are resolved so the house neither leaks nor freezes.
The right order
We close the shell on time — so the interior finishing can proceed in any weather.
