Specification study. This is the materials list Altesora would specify for this room. Every product in it is real, priced, and orderable. The room has not been photographed — the imagery on our website for this space is a generated concept image, not a record of built work, and it is deliberately not included in this document.

Materials, in build order
Listed from what goes against the substrate to what you finally see. The surface beside each product is where it went, and the option named is the one the SKU and price below refer to.

The figure above is one unit of every priced item, which is a floor rather than an estimate — a real room needs more than one box of tile.
End of schedule — 3 products, priced as of August 17, 2026. A specification, not a quotation; prices and lead times are confirmed at the point of order.
Why it was specified this way
Split-face stone has real depth, which means it also has real shadow. Lighting it from above rakes across the face and makes the texture do the work, where flat front lighting would wash it out.
Carrying the stone the full height rather than stopping at a mantel makes the chimney breast read as a single element. Setting out from the ceiling down means the top course lands full, and any cut course is at the floor where a skirting hides it.
