# Stone-Clad Apartment Buildings Adnba's Building Design Exceptionally Fuses Wood, Stone and Glass By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-02-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stoneclad References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2018/02/12/stone-clad-apartment-building-architecture-adnba-recessed-windows-terraces-bucharest-romania/) & [adnba.ro](http://www.adnba.ro/) Local architecture studio ADNBA designed this beautiful luxurious [stone-clad apartment building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-coachella) in Bucharest for real estate firm Forte Partners. The intensity of the white crisp facade has been balanced out by the strategic placement of sizable windows. Similarly, the interior of the stone-clad building is harmonized by mixed material use. While the [cement-like walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rendezvous-apartment) communicate an unforgivable utilitarian look, the geometrically-inspired staircase and hardwood floors really give off a cozy and livable vibe to the space. The upper-storey of the luxe stone-clad apartment features an expansive and [glazed marble surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-brocca), whose delicate elegance is met by the ceiling-to-floor windows. This not only allows for decent light exposure, but also reveals a breathtaking high vantage look of the famous 19th century Romanian historic district.
