Project Gallery

Private house, Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire

A bold and beautifully crafted staircase and fire surround finished in Microtopping® in the striking “Roughcast” style and deep black colourway. The textured finish creates a warm and atmospheric feel, balancing contemporary design with a tactile, handcrafted character. Applied seamlessly across both surfaces, the finish enhances the architectural forms while adding depth, movement and subtle variation that changes beautifully with the light throughout the day.

The rich black tones give the installation a sophisticated and timeless presence, perfectly complementing modern interiors while retaining an inviting sense of warmth. The Roughcast texture introduces a slightly rugged, natural appearance that contrasts elegantly with clean lines and refined detailing, making both the staircase and fire surround true focal points within the space.

Expertly executed by Polished Plaster Wimbledon, the project showcases the versatility of Microtopping® and the exceptional craftsmanship possible with carefully applied textured finishes.
