Custom Stone Veneer Home in Rhode Island

This residential project in Rhode Island is a showcase of thoughtful design and the artistry of natural thin stone veneer. The exterior features a custom blend of 70% Newport Mist Ashlar with 30% Oyster Bay Ashlar, creating a refined, light palette with hints of warmth and depth. This blend carries across the home’s siding, entryway, and retaining walls, tying the structure seamlessly into its landscaped setting. Elegant planters and a carefully constructed stairway enhance the entry, making the home both welcoming and bold in presence.

The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. A stone-clad rooftop overlook provides a serene perch with wooded views, while the patio area becomes a destination in itself. Retaining walls, paved walkways, and an outdoor pool bar built into a grotto-like structure highlight the versatility of stone, balancing durability with modern luxury. These design choices allow for a cohesive transition between the architecture and the natural surroundings.

Inside, the home reveals a different expression of stone. A dramatic Greenwich Gray Ashlar feature wall frames the fireplace and entertainment system, becoming a true centerpiece of the living area. The cool gray tones complement sleek finishes and modern decor, while adding texture and dimension to the room.

Expertly installed by David Feole of D. Feole Masonry Inc., this project is a testament to craftsmanship and vision. By combining blends, textures, and applications, the home achieves a balance of timeless New England character and contemporary style.

From exterior curb appeal to interior focal points, this Cranston residence demonstrates the enduring beauty and versatility of natural stone in residential design.
