When the walls were being poured, red, black and orange colours were added to give the look of the rock, then the latex moulds were “stamped” on the wet cement to create the realistically-textured surface. Liquid latex was painted over a patch of rock and, when dry, this was peeled off to reveal a perfectly moulded imprint. To do this, he created latex moulds directly from the surrounding capstone rock. We wanted the building to look as if it was part of The Jump-Up so David Elliott came up with the idea to stamp the concrete walls to look like natural Jump-Up rock.
