The studio
Surfaces with Depth, Character and a Sense of Place
Modern Plaster is a specialty architectural finishes studio. We work in mineral and lime-based materials, applied by hand, layer by layer, so every wall carries the subtle movement and tonal variation that only a craftsperson’s trowel can give.
Every surface is custom: considered against the architecture of the room, the way light falls across it through the day, and the vision of the homeowner or designer we’re working with.
Signature finishes

Hand-applied finishes in real homes. Every surface is finished on site, by hand, for the room it lives in.
Craft & material
Made by Hand
Made for the Room
The difference between a decorative coating and an architectural surface is in the preparation, the material and the hand that applies it.
i.
Craftsmanship
Finishes are built in thin, hand-applied layers and worked by trowel, never sprayed or rolled to imitate texture. Preparation is treated as part of the finish, not an afterthought.
ii.
Materials
We specify mineral, lime- and clay-based systems from specialist decorative plaster manufacturers, chosen for their depth of colour, durability and natural character.
iii.
Customization
Colour, texture and sheen are tuned for each project and confirmed on physical samples before we begin, so the finished wall is exactly what you approved.
For designers & architects
A Finishing Partner for Your Vision
We work alongside interior designers, architects and custom builders, from early finish selection and custom samples to coordination on site.
The artisan
A Craft-Driven Approach
Modern Plaster was founded by Jose Jr. Texture runs in the family: the core techniques were passed down from the generation before, then sharpened through hands-on plaster and drywall finishing with the Acevedo Home Developments family of companies.
To those core skills, Jose Jr. adds an artistic eye and a passion for creating custom textures and designs. The studio was created to give that craft its own home, dedicated entirely to decorative plaster, limewash and microcement for thoughtfully designed spaces.
