about
Lime is a vital natural ingredient in mortar, that holds the
building together. Today, lime mortar is used primarily on conservation
buildings and has inbuilt resistance to mould. Just like lime in mortar, LIMe Design Studio is a collaboration between practical and aesthetic, builder and designer, modern technology and natural materials that produces a building project held together within our clients budget.
