The use of red-toned stone blends made of belgrano® porphyry and granite in landscape architecture combines warm colors with exceptional durability.

Harmonious Color Compositions with Natural Stone: Design Possibilities with belgrano®

In landscape and garden design, the choice of materials significantly shapes the overall effect of a project. Red-toned stone blends made from porphyry and granite create a vibrant yet natural-looking appearance with warm red, brown, gold, and grey hues. Especially when combined with greenery, wood, or metal, these stones unfold their full design potential.

 

belgrano® Porphyry in Landscape Architecture

belgrano® porphyry stands out for its natural variety of colors – ranging from warm red and violet tones to brown, grey, and beige shades. Its distinctive appearance is shaped by mineral components such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. The volcanic origin makes this natural stone particularly robust and weather-resistant, making it ideal for heavily used areas and design accents in outdoor spaces.

 

belgrano® Granite in Landscape Architecture

belgrano® granite impresses with its natural hardness, dimensional stability, and a wide range of colors. In addition to classic grey and anthracite shades, red-toned variations are also available – their coloration is due to mineral components such as potassium feldspar. With its low-maintenance, non-slip surface, this natural stone is ideal for paths, stairways, and paving in heavily used outdoor areas.

 

From Planning to Implementation: Custom Natural Stone Solutions

The stone blends from BESCO originate from carefully selected quarries in regional, European, and international locations. They are precisely tailored to the functional and design requirements of each project. The combination of different types of stone results in a vibrant appearance and offers excellent resistance to frost, mechanical stress, and weathering. belgrano® stands for certified quality, sustainable sourcing, and reliable delivery – from planning through to implementation. Numerous completed projects demonstrate how flexibly red-toned blends can be integrated into a wide range of design concepts.

 

belgrano® Brings Warmth to Public Spaces in Neuenburg am Rhein

The Kronenrain site in Neuenburg am Rhein references the region’s architectural heritage through its warm color scheme. Reddish, multicolored natural stones from Europe – including belgrano® granite, porphyry, and rhyolite – echo the tones of local red sandstone and the historic city wall. In sunlight, the natural reds, browns, and greys unfold their full effect, giving the square a vibrant atmosphere. This robust stone blend is also weather-resistant and resistant to frost and de-icing salt – ideal for long-term use in public spaces.

Material Selection as a Design Element in Public Spaces in Illingen

Since its redesign, the former Höll site in Illingen has developed into a welcoming meeting place – thanks in large part to the deliberate choice of materials. The combination of belgrano® porphyry and four European granites brings warm red, brown, and grey tones to the square, blending harmoniously into the townscape. The sawn and flamed natural stones were laid in various formats using a bound construction method, visibly enhancing the new town center.

Color Harmony Along the Miltenberg Riverside Promenade

For the riverside promenade in Miltenberg, planners selected a harmonious mix of belgrano® granite, porphyry, and quartzite. Reddish and grey tones enliven the spacious area and reflect the hues of the regionally typical Main sandstone, which is also featured in the adjacent River Forum. The sawn and flamed belgrano® paving stones not only enhance the design but also impress with their robustness and resistance to frost and de-icing salts.
