HOUSES WITH ROCK EXTERIORS OR ROCK FACES
  • I need to view houses with rock exteriors, either partial, accented or full rock exteriors. We are finalizing plans with architect for the rock exterior house and need examples to compare. Where do I search for such viewings PLEASE?


  • have you seen Herzog and De Meuron's Dominus Winery in yountsville, CA? You should ask this question in archinect.com's discussion forum, you're sure to have pages of visuals within no time.


  • Hello again, spark619-ga, Here are a few other books that are worth looking into: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0882665502/qid=1098536859/sr=5-1/ref=cm_lm_asin/103-3052143-4352655?v=glance&s=books Building With Stone by Charles McRaven, Chandis Ingenthron [Note that for a number of the books listed here -- including this one -- you can view pages of this book online, using Amazon's "Look Inside the Book" feature] http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1552092984/ref=pd_bxgy_text_1/103-3052143-4352655?v=glance&s=books&st=* The Stonebuilder's Primer: A Step-By-Step Guide for Owner-Builders by Charles K.

These should do a good job of giving you the lay of the land when it comes to styles of stone houses. Before rating this answer, please let me know if you need any additional information. Just post a Request for Clarification, and I'll be happy to assist you further. All the best.... pafalafa-ga search strategy: Searched Google and Amazon.com for "stone houses"


  • There is a commercial website for 'cultured stone' which has a gallery of sample installations. Its not true stone (a concrete product), but if you're primarily interested in the aesthetics, perhaps this will provide what you need: http://www.culturedstone.com Also, http://www.hammerstone.net http://www.midweststone.com http://www.eldoradostone.com


  • this isn't what I had in mind. I would be wiling to purchase a book of rock houses for example. What I need is a site/book dedicated to purely rock houses. I don't know what else to search under to get to the thousands of existing rock houses in this world. Maybe under architecture and rock or something?


  • can you please find more books/webpages that address stone houses or stone exterior houses?


  • this is getting there...is there a way I can see some of the insides of the book(s)? Can you find a few more similar books please?

  • Does this help? http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/fa267/FLW_taliesin.html


  • Take a look at this link and let me know what you think: http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=%28rock+OR+stone%29+exterior+%28house+OR+home%29 There's a pretty good collection of rock-exterior houses here, but it's not 100% -- some other photos slipped in as well. Does this come close to meeting your needs? pafalafa-ga


  • Ah! You mean like this...? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0810932873/ref%3Dnosim/httpwwwbestne9-20/103-8878867-9494246#product-details If this is the sort of thing you're looking for, I can probably find another 2 or 3 books along the same lines. Would that meet your needs? pafalafa-ga
