The Chelsea Barracks project, developed by LSI Stone in London, United Kingdom, represents one of the most prominent developments in central London in recent decades. Conceived by Eric Parry Architects, this project combines contemporary living with a historic environment, responding to the needs of the general community as well as long-term sustainability.

The use of Portuguese limestone Cabeça Veada on the facade of Phase 4 of Chelsea Barracks demonstrates the confidence of British architects and developers in the quality and suitability of Portuguese natural stone for prestigious projects in historic urban contexts. The work presents enormous friezes with phrases engraved in stone all around the building, evidencing the company’s advanced technical capabilities in the field of stone engraving and customisation.
