SlakedAuthentic lime plaster, hand-troweled.
Slaked creates artisan lime-plaster finishes for distinctive residential and commercial interiors. We partner with designers, architects, and custom builders to bring natural depth, movement, and character to architectural surfaces.
Who we are
An artisan studio working between material, architecture, and art.
Slaked brings authentic lime and hand-applied craft into contemporary interiors. Each finish is considered in relation to the architecture, light, palette, and surrounding materials, creating a surface that belongs to the space.
What we do
Bespoke lime‑plaster finishes for architectural surfaces.
Slaked develops finishes for the surfaces that set the tone of an interior. These are some of the places where the material contributes depth and identity.
The material suits surfaces that carry a room, where texture and light do as much work as color.
Material and craft
Lime, light, and the movement of the hand.
Authentic lime plaster carries its own tonal movement, mineral character, and relationship with light. Applied by hand, each surface reveals subtle variation and the movement of the trowel.
These finishes are often called Venetian plaster. The foundation is the same in every case: real lime, mineral pigment, and marble aggregate, worked in thin layers and compressed with a steel trowel.
Authentic material
Lime, marble aggregate, and mineral pigment. The surface is what it appears to be.
Hand-shaped surfaces
Each layer is laid, compressed, and burnished by hand, and the trowel leaves its movement in the finish.
Developed for the interior
Color, texture, and sheen are drawn from the palette, light, and materials already in the room.
Natural depth and character
Lime holds a quiet tonal range that shifts as the light moves across it through the day.
Breathable and moisture-managing
Lime is vapor-permeable. Moisture moves through the surface and back out rather than being sealed in behind a film, and the mineral mass helps a room hold steady through heat and cold.
Naturally mold-resistant
Cured lime stays alkaline, a surface that gives mold and mildew little to take hold on.
Non-toxic to live with
No plastics, no solvents, and nothing off-gassing into the room once the surface is finished. A finish that is safe to raise a family around.
Enduring craft
A mineral surface that settles into the architecture and keeps its character.
Selected finishes
A range of surfaces, developed for the space.
Each finish begins from an authentic lime base and is adjusted in color, texture, and sheen for the interior it belongs to.
Marmorino
A classic lime finish with soft depth and a low, burnished sheen.
Travertino
A more open, quarried texture with visible movement and shadow across the surface.
Marmorino Fine
A tighter, smoother hand: quiet at a distance, detailed up close.

Process
Every project begins with a conversation about the space.
Samples are then developed around the interior palette, desired texture, and surrounding materials.
Discuss
The space, the design direction, and the surface you have in mind.
Sample
Samples are developed for color, texture, movement, and sheen.
Refine
The finish direction is adjusted against the room and approved.
Install
Scheduling is set and the surface is completed on site.
Bring depth and material character to the surface.
Designers, architects, builders, and commercial project teams are invited to start a conversation about the interior and the surfaces within it.
