Our winner for Residential Stone Installation, the Stone Tile Group’s Private Orlando Estate with Ventilated Limestone Facade featured project from one quarry and 53 containers of hand-selected Portuguese Moca Fossil limestone. It is a residential façade unlike anything Central Florida has seen before. To guarantee perfect consistency, raw blocks were sourced personally, straight from a single layer of a Portuguese quarry. Custom stainless-steel brackets, kerf clips, and concealed anchors were purpose-engineered for every stone condition. Cranes lifted multi-piece cornice assemblies over a three-story roofline to reach the rear elevation. Twenty-four months of installation on a lot so tight it demanded a custom-built gantry crane system just to maneuver. This is where artisan fabrication meets structural engineering — and the result is a home that looks like it was carved from the earth itself.
