STONE MASONS, CORFU, IONIAN ISLANDS

Stone work in Corfu, cut andlaid by hand, built to outlastthe people who build it.

Masonry and construction in natural stone: villas, retaining walls, paving and restoration, for estate owners, architects and developers.

THE STUDIO

Four centuries of Venetianbuilding, kept where therest of Greece lost it.

Corfu was never under Ottoman rule, so its Venetian stone tradition survived intact, and we still build inside it.

We build in the stone the island is made of: Sinies limestone from Mount Pantokrator, fieldstone sorted on site, reclaimed cobble with a memory. Local stone is our default, because for most Corfu walls it is simply the right one, but it is not a limit: where a design calls for another stone, or you supply your own, we build in that too.

And we build it the slow way, cut, coursed and pointed by hand, bedded in lime that lets the wall breathe. It is more patient than blockwork and render. It is also still standing after three hundred years, which is the only proof that matters.

WHAT WE BUILD

Stone villas, walls that holdthe hillside, surfaces thatage into the place.

One material, several disciplines, each built as a full-width band, not a card in a row.
