THE CREATION AND HISTORY OF RISING STONE THROUGH THE EYES OF JEAN-THOMAS OLANO

In the heart of the majestic mountains of Méribel, Courchevel, Auron or Ferragudo in the Algarve (Portugal), the quintessence of luxury is revealed with Rising Stone, property developments where every detail embodies a heritage of grandeur and innovation. Under the watchful eye of Jean-Thomas Olano, Rising Stone is not just a company: it's a philosophy, an art of living, sculpted for those who seek exclusivity in tranquillity.

EXPERTISE & EXCELLENCE

Jean-Thomas Olano, founder of Rising Stone, personifies luxury not only through excellence in construction, but also through a profound respect for the environment. Each Rising Stone project is the fruit of a delicate alchemy between premium location, local know-how and sustainable materials, creating a harmony between man and nature. By favouring local artisans and short distribution channels, each project becomes a declaration of support for communities and artisan traditions.

"When you work like Rising Stone, adding craftsmanship and even artistry to the construction process, the result becomes a work of art. We go beyond the real estate product itself to offer something else to a clientele that shares our vision of excellence"

Jean-Thomas Olano

PHILOSOPHY: REAL ESTATE IS A WORK OF ART

Rising Stone properties are true works of art, each one unique and created with an almost invisible but fundamental attention to detail. Extreme bespoke at Rising Stone is not just a service, but a philosophy encapsulating an unwavering commitment to absolute customisation, meeting every requirement of those seeking an unparalleled experience. The architecture not only adapts to the picturesque surroundings, but enriches every sight, sound and touch, enhancing the sensory interaction with the space.

A SUSTAINABLE, RESPONSIBLE AND FORWARD-LOOKING VISION

According to Jean-Thomas Olano's vision, prestige real estate embodies beauty, the invisible and indispensable detail, but not without responsibility.
With a commitment to responsibility, Rising Stone also minimises its environmental impact. Innovative water management systems, such as re-injecting water into local streams, ensure that each project enhances rather than degrades its environment. This philosophy extends to minimising the carbon footprint, from the choice of materials to construction and beyond.

JEAN-THOMAS OLANO: "A HERITAGE THAT CAN BE PASSED ON".

Investing in a Rising Stone property is as much a safe-haven investment in these uncertain times as it is a celebration of the art of living. Jean-Thomas Olano sees real estate not as a possession, but as an inheritance, asserting that "we are not the owners of luxury, it is an inheritance that is passed on". So each property is designed to be a sanctuary of peace, a meeting place for family and friends, enriching lives beyond the simple financial transaction.

"At Rising Stone, the creation of living spaces goes beyond architecture; it strengthens family ties and creates rare, timeless works of art that are destined to be passed down from generation to generation"

Jean-Thomas Olano

Rising Stone is not just a property developer; it is a creator of dreams where every stone, every view and every space is designed to exalt the senses and enrich experiences, ensuring that each residence is more than a home, it is a work of art destined to be cherished and passed down through generations. Jean-Thomas Olano and Rising Stone invite everyone to rediscover luxury, where beauty and sustainability are one.
