One block of travertine, one plane of blackened cabinetry, nothing else.

A kitchen designed to read as sculpture when it is not in use.

Design challenges

  • 01A 3.4-metre island required a single uninterrupted slab.
  • 02Every appliance and socket had to be invisible.
  • 03A working family kitchen that had to stay gallery-quiet.

Final outcome

A book-matched travertine monolith with mitred 60mm edges, integrated sink and no visible joint. Storage capacity increased 30% over the previous layout.

Materials used

  • Navona travertine, book-matched
  • Blackened oak veneer
  • Unlacquered bronze tapware
  • Micro-cement floor

Client feedback
