Why we use it
BCG uses plaster where the surface itself should contribute to the architecture without becoming decorative noise.
Character
Subtle movement, hand variation, and soft reflection let the wall change throughout the day.
What we look for
Mockups, substrate readiness, corner details, finish consistency, and a craftsperson suited to the desired restraint.
Design considerations
Lighting angle, wall plane size, trim profile, and adjacent stone or wood affect how the plaster reads.
Installation considerations
Substrate preparation, control joints, humidity, and protection from later trades are critical.
Common mistakes
Skipping mockups, using plaster to hide poor framing, or allowing jobsite damage after finish work begins.
Maintenance + aging
Plaster can be repaired, but it asks for gentle cleaning and trades who understand the original finish.
