My photography featured in Architextures

I have supplied Armourcoat photography ranging from case study pictures to company portraits and reportage material for their website since 2016.

Armourcoat’s clay lime plasters give a wall presence. From concept to installation, finishes are defined by the balance between design intent, performance, sustainability, detailing and craftsmanship — key considerations in every successful project.

Clay Lime Plaster offers a more natural, breathable alternative to many synthetic wall finishes, with lower VOC content and a material character that comes from mineral ingredients. As lime cures, it reabsorbs carbon dioxide, giving the product a stronger environmental case as well as an aesthetic one, and offering architects a way to bring environmental thinking into the interior palette to add richness to a project.

For the specifier, the appeal starts with what the raw materials can do that paint cannot. With Clay Lime Plaster, a blank wall does not need to be plain. Colour sits within a material with body, so the surface holds depth, and a slight movement. Armourcoat’s clay lime plasters can be matte and chalky, or more worked and directional, depending on the aggregate, the pressure of application and the sealer used. That range gives architects another register between flat coating and heavy texture: a finish that can bring tactility without overwhelming a room. Spencer describes Armourcoat as working in “the realms of visual materials”; these are surfaces to be read up close.
