A Landmark of Modern Craftsmanship and Sustainability
This building showcases a groundbreaking approach to modern construction, exemplified by the Petra Heights apartments, which utilize 725 tonnes of natural basalt stone from Norway to create 596 columns and lintels that form its striking structural exoskeleton. Unlike most contemporary structures, this modern stone building stands entirely on stone, with no steel reinforcement or secondary structure.
It is the first 10-storey, load-bearing stone building since the great stone cathedrals.
Built for the Future
Basalt was chosen not just for its beauty, but for its exceptional strength and fire resistance, proven through rigorous British Research Establishment testing. Its performance allows for half the volume of material needed compared to traditional limestone, delivering impressive carbon savings, around 80% less than a steel frame and 55% less than a concrete frame.
Sustainable Design, Timeless Appeal
The result is an architectural landmark that redefines sustainable living, a modern home built from volcanic stone, designed to last for generations while dramatically reducing environmental impact. It’s a bold rethink of materials, turning stone from mere cladding into the core structure of a resilient, low-carbon building.
