House Limewash Paint | The Hoxton x Bauwerk Neighbourhood Collection

Return to the architectural roots of urban design with House, a soft and timeless neutral grey.

House is a versatile, soft grey limewash developed as a core bridging colour for The Hoxton x Bauwerk Neighbourhood Collection. This shade captures the foundational aesthetic of The Hoxton, reflecting the industrial yet welcoming spirit that defines their spaces. As a “bridging” colour, House is designed to tie together more vibrant tones within a room, providing a steadying, sophisticated backdrop that feels both historic and modern.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, House is a mineral-based finish that offers more than just colour. It provides a breathable, matte texture that develops a beautiful patina over time, ensuring your walls have the same tactile soul and character found in the world’s most iconic boutique hotels.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with a commitment to environmental health and the longevity of your home. When you choose House, you are choosing a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Made from natural lime and sustainable mineral pigments. Breathable: Allows moisture to move freely through the surface, supporting a healthy indoor climate. Naturally Antibacterial: The high pH of natural lime acts as a built-in defense against mold and mildew without the need for toxic additives. Unique Finish: Applied in thin, translucent layers, it creates a subtle “cloud” effect that adds movement and life to your walls.

Application & Coverage

To achieve the signature Hoxton aesthetic, we recommend applying House with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Using a loose, multi-directional stroke allows the soft grey pigments to layer and bloom, creating the iconic mottled finish of traditional limewash.

Tip: Limewash is designed for absorbent surfaces like render, brick, or surfaces prepared with a specialized lime-prep undercoat. We always recommend a patch test to see how House reacts to the specific light and shadows of your environment.

Benefits

The benefits of a paint made exclusively from minerals + natural pigments

BAUWERK Colour Lime Wash Paints are purely mineral based. They are manufactured from calcium carbonate, the same material sea shells are made from. When you paint with it the only chemical reaction that takes place is the absorption of atmospheric CO2 to convert the lime paint back to lime stone.

We colour our Limewash with natural pigments, this makes our colours completely different, as when light hits the wall the colours look like no other.

You can safely paint your home without any fear of breathing in fumes that are harmful to you or your children. We make the paint without solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOC). Because of that, Bauwerk Lime Paint is fire proof.

The paint can be used inside or outside, even in high humidity environments, such as bathrooms. It is not film-forming, like a plastic paint; it allows walls to breathe and be part of your micro-climate inside your home.

We don't use biocides or other preservatives; our lime wash has natural anti-bacterial properties. Enjoy the emotional depth and the play of light on our colours—they react dynamically to changing light conditions.
