This completed exterior courtyard highlights the power of microcement and architectural plaster to create calm, contemporary outdoor spaces. Delivered by Profile Plastering using high-performance materials from Forcrete, the project demonstrates how seamless finishes can unify architecture, landscape, and circulation into a single, cohesive design.

Project Overview

The scope focused on creating a cohesive exterior courtyard that visually connects the architecture, landscaping, and circulation paths into a single, unified composition. Using microcement and mineral-based plaster systems, the exterior walls, pathways, and built elements were finished in a soft, neutral tone that complements both the surrounding brickwork and natural planting.

The result is a calm, modern outdoor space that feels intentional and timeless—designed to age gracefully while maintaining a clean, architectural presence.

Why Microcement Works for Exterior Applications

Microcement is increasingly specified for exterior projects due to its versatility and performance. Unlike traditional exterior finishes, microcement provides a continuous, joint-free surface that enhances visual flow and reduces long-term maintenance concerns.

Key benefits showcased in this project include:

• Seamless appearance that eliminates grout lines and visual interruptions

• High durability suitable for exterior exposure and daily foot traffic

• Weather resistance with 100% waterproof system

• Design flexibility across walls, floors, and architectural elements

The subtle texture achieved in this application adds depth without overpowering the design, allowing light and shadow to bring the surface to life throughout the day.
