Square Red Stone and Some Grass Between

Don’t mind the mobile phone camera. If folks understood how lenses work, we would be careful about the limitations of tiny cameras.

That’s Red Natural Stone for you. At a farm house. You can try putting any kind of vitrified tiles, and try growing grass in between, the way you see in the pictures, and you won’t feel a thing. And you won’t get a picture like this.

There’s another point here. You see squares have a special magic in matters of flooring. I feel they look better than rectangles.

But then one who understands that beautiful lack of symmetry looks more beautiful than beautiful symmetry, would not prefer squares. That’s for another post. This red looks ravishing at night with some dim lights around.

Cobblestones (work in progress)

A large pile of dark stone cubes scattered on the ground, surrounded by greenery and trees in a natural outdoor setting.

They are stones, they don’t come packed. But when they are laid, there’s no comparison. Have a look below, clicked at a recent project for a bungalow.

A newly laid cobblestone driveway with a circular pattern, showcasing the intricate design and texture of the stones.

You are not going to get vitrified tiles for such beauty. You may think it’s just a matter of outdoors vs indoors, but it isn’t quite. It’s a matter of patience and sensibilities. It’s a matter of what your sole (you may even say, soul) wants to feel.

Amphitheatre

Some time back I posted a work-in-progress pic of this site. I think it’s now completed. IIT Gandhinagar amphitheatre. You can’t dream of building something like this with vitrified tiles.

And there are folks who tile (funny vitrified tiles are in fashion these days) the space that they are going to spend their life in coz of lack of time! Funny!

Reminder.

Architecture is not about space but about time.

That is Teakwood Sandstone! Gorgeous for outdoors, or wall-cladding.

At Kensville Golf Club

Work in progress at Kensville Golf Club. There’s no match to the square cobble when it comes to paving outdoors or landscaping. Actually cobble-like stones with smooth surfaces would make amazing indoor flooring too. But then, so many are fooled by the convenience of vitrified tiles.

Cobblestone grid

As you see above, we’ve placed different types of natural cobblestone in varying sizes here: granite, marble, sandstone, basalt. Not an exhaustive aggregation but gives you an idea.

How they look!

All those work-in-progress pics posted earlier lead to this… Look beautiful. Adhunik Brown 75mm thick granite benches. That cavity serves as a planter. A few years hence, there’ll be trees, and lot of shade, god willing, and the promenade may just become a lovely place to hang out…

Now that is machine-cut Black cobblestone for a bungalow project in Gandhinagar. Dimensions are 100mm x 100mm x 40mm. Exquisite laying. Small simple blocks of square. The grooving makes it groovy.

Granite Benches

Preparing these 75mm thick granite slabs for granite benches. The benches will stand rock solid, of course, and may be for eternity. It’s tough handling such stone. Guys tough it out. Thankfully the weather has relented too in the last 2 days. Courtesy, the Vayu cyclone near the coast of Gujarat.

Fluid landscaping

Of course, for a mighty majority it’s a mighty luxury to have such space in this part of the world. There’s no space means there’s no land means there’s no landscaping.

And yet there are the lucky ones who do have such a space. What do they do? They slab it. They slab it with rectangles. Nowadays, with huge rectangles. And somehow the machiners are improving their ability to slice the rocks into huge rectangles.

I haven’t had the chance to be in very many huge bungalows and huge spaces, but I’ve seen some. And the use of natural stone slabs is not one bit pleasing I must say.

In the above picture, interestingly, they are slabs but not rectangles. Endearing work! Would love to spend a lot of time doing nothing much on those two chairs. Find a wealthy uncle, a lucky cousin.

For such landscaping in Ahmedabad, you know we can help…
