An experiment in white

The colour white is popular in all areas and has a unique significance in modern architecture. White is the epitome of clarity, purity and sublimity. White accentuates the geometry of buildings in particular measure. And white orchestrates the play of light and shadow in multifaceted ways like no other colour.

From inspiration to texture

An experiment in white: five different render patterns in white in front of a mountain hut
Five samples - five different material interpretations: The samples that our product design team created with the help of inspirational images and quotes from the architects show the many different ways in which plaster can be interpreted and designed as a material. And it becomes clear that white is not just white, but is influenced by many factors.

How light shapes render

The path from inspiration to the actual built project is a long, but extremely exciting one. True samples are a first step in ascertaining what the end result would realistically be like. Discover how the architects inspired us to create unique render surfaces here:
