Private Residence, West London
Bespoke Decorative Plasterwork
Stevensons of Norwich were approached to manufacture the highly ornate decorative ceiling features and bespoke ceiling paneling, as well as cornices and wall panels for this high-end renovation in West London.
After our Design & Workshop drawings were approved by the Client, each element was handmade at our Works in Norwich ahead of transportation to London for installation.
The principal ceiling features are made up using a number of our existing Decorative Ceiling designs, including our DC24 - Salzburg Floral Decorative Plaster Ceiling Feature and our DC20 - French Empire Ceiling Decoration.
Stone Effect Mouldings
Stevensons-Stone
A durable and lightweight alternative to natural stone, Stevensons-Stone® is used to create finely detailed faux stone architecture. From our factory in Norwich, Stevensons’ skilled craftsmen have created Stevensons-Stone® architectural mouldings for private and public properties in over 40 countries, from the smallest corbel to the largest column and building façade.
LIGHTWEIGHT ALTERNATIVE TO STONE
WHAT IS STEVENSONS-STONE®
Stevensons-Stone® is a Jesmonite-based alternative to natural stone, which offers a lightweight stone effect material with the added benefits of increased impact and water resistance. Convincingly replicating natural stone, but with a fraction of the weight, Stevensons-Stone® allows for finely detailed architecture to be created and easily installed on new and existing buildings.
STRUCTURAL PLANNING FLEXIBILITY
BENEFITS OF STEVENSONS-STONE®
Our design team are experienced working with Stevensons-Stone®, and will guide you every step of the way, from the initial idea through to installation. Utilising the benefits of Stevensons-Stone® over traditional stone carvings, buildings with architectural components can be designed using lighter materials, giving you more flexibility in your structural planning – speak to our team for more information on how Stevensons-Stone® can benefit your entire project.
With a lightweight design and thinner cross-section than typical stone architecture, Stevensons-Stone® can be easily installed onto existing buildings without the need for heavy duty reinforcements. Stevensons offer a worldwide installation service, which includes secure shipping and fixing of the architectural mouldings to complete your project.

Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace
Bespoke Design & Restoration
As part of a larger restoration project by the Royal Collection Trust, Stevensons of Norwich were invited to renovate the Queens Gallery within the grounds of Buckingham Palace.
For the impressive Lecture Theatre within the Gallery, Stevensons designed a bespoke ceiling rose, which was mounted within a striking central pendentive ribbed plaster dome, set within a perfect square. The walls within the Lecture Theatre included plaster arches and columns, and the room was finished with a range of ventilation rosettes. Alongside interior work, we used our own Stevensons-Stone® material to cast new exterior cornice, and an ornate sign for the building entrance.
Our work on the Queens Gallery received awards recognition upon completion, with the Judges commenting that the geometry was very difficult, but the effect, carried out perfectly, was well worth it, and noting that Stevensons carried out the best single piece of plasterwork seen this year: the enriched lintel and brackets to the doorway leading from the stair into the entrance lobby.

Westminster City Council
Bespoke Stevensons-Stone® Mould
As part of their premises refurbishment, Westminster City Council commissioned Stevensons of Norwich to produce new castings of their Heraldic Lion logo, to be displayed outside the entrance to the building.
Using the existing stone lions, which had become damaged due to age and weathering, our craftsmen restored them to a state where a mould could be taken, into which Stevensons-Stone® was poured and cast into the shape of the original pair. Once cast, the new faux stone logo was finished by Angel Interiors, who applied the painted detailing, before being installed outside the building entrance by our team for the official re-opening.
