Schist by Design was created to bring the beauty and authenticity of natural stone to New Zealand architecture, without the challenges of traditional masonry.
Our system makes it easier, faster and more reliable to achieve stunning results that last for generations.
Founded in New Zealand, Schist by Design was born from a simple belief — that exceptional stone should be beautiful, practical and accessible.
