Arched opening in ashlar
in the Gers
Project details
The creation of this arched opening in ashlar required a design in keeping with the original openings of this old Gascon building. The pointed arch shape of the neighbouring openings was taken up, with proportions and appearance respected.
The choice to create this opening in the image of its older neighbours, the natural stone with its age and patina, the natural and durable materials (stone, terracotta, wood, lime), and the respect for the architecture all contribute to the enhancement of the building.
A glimpse of the work before the finishing touches, and a close-up of the small carved detail on the stones of the original openings and repeated on the bottom of the new jambs :
