Stone
Calacatta Wow marble Asian Statuary marble Bardiglio marble Bianco Carrara marble
The goal for this project was to feature the unique characteristics of natural stone. As a high-end chef and restaurateur, the clients value quality and the beauty that this planet provides. In this case, it was Calacatta Wow 2cm marble imported from Italy, Asian Statuary 2cm marble slabs, Asian Statuary 12 x 24 inch tiles, a custom waterjet floor patterned from Asian Statuary, Bardiglio, and Bianco Carrara marbles, and custom staggered joint Asian Statuary mosaic.
It was also important to the clients to create a high-end timeless design with handcrafted features. The scope of the work involved the main floor, shower, and vanities. The main floor pattern was a custom-designed water- jet pattern by Ceramic Harmony, fabricated and installed over a radiant floor heating system that included the shower floor.
Kitchen / Bath
Super White Dolomite Kitchen, Dover, Massachusetts
The curb-less shower floor features a cus- tom fabricated invisible drain along the wall underneath the shower seat. The shower also features a custom shelving system with integrated shower seat fabricated entirely of mitered 2cm marble. The entire window-sur- round is fabricated out of 2cm marble.
The mosaic shower ceiling is arched, including a custom designed and fabricated magnetized vent cover. The marble vanities feature scalloped backsplashes with a relief detailed edge profile.
INthe heart of Dover, Massachusetts, a remarkable kitchen boasts a dolo- mitic marble renowned for its elegance and durability. Quarried by Pazigram in Brazil, the Super White slab captivates with its composition of calcium magnesium carbon- ate. Parallel layers of mineral crystals create mesmerizing patterns and intricate veining, enhanced by the interplay of fissures and dry veins. This distinctive composition makes dolomitic marble a sought-after choice, infusing spaces with timeless beauty and
sophistication.
Super White dolomitic marble, a material of complexity, poses unique challenges for fabricators. The stone’s inherent hardness and intricate composition demand meticulous handling during fabrication, cutting, and polishing. Prior to cutting, meticulous planning and organization were crucial in this project to keep the slabs’ integrity. The specification and orientation of the design ensured mesmerizing patterns were showcased, especially in the full- height backsplash and pantry. The pantry, a testament to seamless integration, was crafted
from a single slab, showcasing the team’s precision, requiring a dedicated team of five experts, resulting in a flawless installation radiating elegance and sophistication.
To enhance the allure of the Super White, the client opted for sleek white cabinets adorned with gold hardware and Dorn Bracht fixtures. This thoughtfully curated combination created a harmonious symphony, allowing the stone’s natural beauty to take center stage. The pristine white surfaces provided the perfect backdrop, while the gold accents added a touch of opulence, capturing the essence of refined luxury.
The countertops and backsplash epitomize the harmonious union of artistry, craftsmanship, and the timeless beauty of Super White. From the meticulous selection of the slabs to the precise handling of the material during installation, every step showcases the mastery of this woman-owned company dedicated to pushing boundaries in the natural stone industry. This project represents the pinnacle of achievement, inspiring future innovations in natural stone design.
