Among the more than 50 designs available, two favorites were quickly found. The Cosentino Center in Munich provided large-format samples. "Dekton Danae matches the color of the limestone in the surrounding mountains and is a perfect fit for the natural stone we wanted to use for the building base and floors," says the client. Shortly afterwards, KAMA-Steinprojekte was commissioned to start designing the façade jointly with the architect from Geisler & Trimmel, for which the Dekton panels were precisely cut with a water jet cutting machine and the corners were finished off by mitring the edges of these panels. Maximum precision in panel cutting enabled narrow joints and precise incisions, such as for roller blind rails or window sills.

The battens of the substructure received an impregnating bonding primer. Then KAMA attached a double-sided adhesive tape, which fixes the façade panels until the special glue applied in parallel hardens and installed the 8 mm thin and up to 260 cm x 90 cm large Dekton panels. "Our aspiration is to work as perfectly as possible - especially with the joint pattern," says Martin Hubmann of KAMA-Steinprojekte. "We could have had it easier with smaller façade panels. But we wanted to approach it this way and no other way".

The client is very proud of the building - as are Martin Hubmann and the team from KAMA. In total, an area of around 375 square meters was clad with Dekton Danae " I'd be pleased to see this example inspire more private customers to consider Dekton as a façade material," says the stone specialist. "A wood or plaster facade often seems more affordable. But you have follow-up efforts and costs," adds the building owner. "In the commercial property sector, you invest rather once and then have your peace of mind. And that's exactly what I also want as a private owner".

Inside, the kitchen and dining room share a large space connected to the outdoor terrace, so that the residents can enjoy the views of the surroundings. Another surface by Cosentino was chosen for the design of this space, a 20 mm thick worktop in Silestone Coral Clay with a matt finish. The slightly bevelled edges add elegance to the overall look. The worktop and sink were fitted flush with the surface, increasing comfort and functionality, two features that are also found in the adjoining living room with its impressive fireplace.

The second floor is reserved for the bedrooms and a bathroom with plenty of natural light. The bathroom floor and washbasin are clad in natural stone, a material that blends in with the Silestone Coral Clay walls which, once again, enhance the natural light and imbue the space with warmth.
