I believe that would be a stone facade, a veneer of relatively thin stone attached to the wood stick frame structure similar to how brick walls are constructed. The stone may even be manufactured stone and attached to the sheathing with adhesives. Given the number of windows and absence of shear brace wall space there may be some steel in there. Very likely an engineer involved.

Impressive appearance.

It would make the page easier to read if the first image was removed

I'm equally as impressed by the quality of the photo itself.

Yes, very nice. Is it livable yet? Heat, electrical, plumbing?

Over the top of the stone? Like in the exterior window to stone area.

The windows were flashed / sealed before the stone.

As they should be; same as with lap siding, stucco, and so on. The stone, lap siding, stucco, etc. are simply the cosmetic finish to the structural wall.

That's pretty cool. How was the stone applied?

Tools: tape measure, level, drill, grinder.




Step 1 : Housewrap
Step 2 : Starter strip ( metal bracket )
Step 3 : Corners first
Step 4 : Fill




Everything is secured with stainless steel clips & screws. Incredibly simple.
