I live in a limecrete building from 1857, in the Scottish Borders.
It is similar to a tower block in minature, a girder frame with cast walls, only 3 stories high - but the rest of the village is all 2 story stone cottages. Innovative technology for 1857 !
But being limecrete it has set into limestone over the last 150 years - a very long lasting technology.
The only downside is it suffers from the 1960s portland-cement based harling (pebble dash) which keeps the moisture close to the stone - hopefully we can change this to a lime render and limewash as it should be.
