Beige, sand, taupe, and browns, present in stones such as Travertine and Crema Marfil, provide comfort and elegance. At the same time, marbles with striking veins take center stage, transforming each surface into a true work of art.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finishes and Textures<\/strong><br \/>\nThe trend is to enhance the authenticity of stone. Satin, matte, and brushed finishes are chosen to give spaces an organic and elegant touch, as is the enhancement of the raw state of the raw material to ensure a more natural look full of character.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shapes and Design<\/strong><br \/>\nCurves and organic shapes convey movement and fluidity, giving rise to functional and sculptural pieces. Another trend is the integration between interior and exterior, which reinforces the continuity of spaces, allowing the stone to dialogue with the environment and define architectural identity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sustainability and Durability<\/strong><br \/>\nThere is an increasing preference for durable materials from responsible sources with reduced environmental impact, combining aesthetics, function, and longevity.<\/p>\n<p>We follow these trends and transform natural stone into unique solutions, designed to enhance each space with character, presence, and sustainability.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1727182730572{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;100&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entrevist\u00e1mos Carolina e Jeremy, fundadores do Atelier Backlar, ap\u00f3s a conclus\u00e3o do projeto de reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o de um apartamento no Pr\u00edncipe Real, onde a nossa pedra natural foi utilizada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":10147,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[218,360],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-news-highlight-home"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galrao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galrao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galrao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.galrao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.galrao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10144"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.galrao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10165,"href":"https:\/\/www.galrao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10144\/revisions\/10165"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.galrao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galrao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.galrao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.galrao.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
