Today we completed the Douglas and Grahame Ltd corporate headquarters. It looks amazing. We used a traditional stucco lucido technique; the final application was a true encaustic wax, which was polished using the hot iron method.
There's nothing subtle about this finish! Normally on our projects, I often intercept strange looks on the faces of the other trades, people who don't quite get our work. However, this hasn't happened here. The finish is just so reflective, people can't help but notice it.
I'm not always a huge fan of the really highly polished stuhhi, but I must admit that this does look stunning.
Beautiful work. The encaustic is intense!
