Elegant designs are only realised when they are built into a building.<\/p>\n

Historic and contemporary spaces receive rich spatial capital from the hands of site artisans, delivering a range of proportions, surface textures and building patterns.<\/p>\n

A sculptor by trade, Dennis is a master of materials and a\u00a0stone patching specialist.<\/p>\n

After training in Czechoslovakia as a modeller of fine china and industrial ceramics, Dennis brings his unique skills to stone repairs<\/strong> in the restoration of historical buildings and monuments.<\/p>\n

With a rare understanding of materials, and a shared passion for restoring traditional architecture, Dennis regularly complements true stone design<\/strong>\u2019s period restorations.<\/p>\n

William Zuccon<\/strong>, the architect on one such project, expressed his appreciation:<\/p>\n

\u201cDennis Kalous was recently engaged on our heritage-listed stone house project \u00a0in Darling Point.<\/p>\n

“Repairing or replacing certain areas with dressed sandstone was out of the question being either prohibitively expensive or totally impractical.<\/p>\n

“Dennis was able to refinish these surfaces to look exactly like the adjoining genuine stonework.<\/p>\n

“In 30 years as a practicing architect I have never witnessed such almost miraculous work.<\/p>\n

“Dennis made a wonderful difference to our project.\u201d<\/p>\n[\/team_member][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”grow-in” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][team_member image_url=”598″ bio_alt_image_url=”672″ team_memeber_style=”bio_fullscreen_alt” image_loading=”default” team_member_bio_full_html=”html” name=”Rob Steedman” job_position=”Heritage Stone Restoration” image_size=”“full“”]\n

Rob and true stone design<\/strong> engage in joint ventures on larger restoration projects.<\/p>\n
