With concrete central to the architectural intent, achieving the correct tone and consistency was critical at La Storia.
Materials & application
ECOTONE undertook a detailed sampling process to refine the exact brightness and mineral depth required, then applied ECOTONE Minsil to the precast concrete using a controlled multi-coat system. Surfaces were prepared for even absorption so the mineral coating could penetrate and bond with the substrate, delivering a consistent, bright concrete-look finish.
Outcome
La Storia reflects Carlton's cultural identity through material clarity and architectural restraint. The bright concrete façade gives the building a confident street presence, with the finish reading as integral to the structure rather than decorative — a cohesive, enduring addition to Carlton's architectural landscape.
