NV Stone / Gold Coast residential project
Carrara Marble
Throughout the Home
A curved kitchen island, matching splashbacks and bathroom vanities connected by one natural stone.
A connected palette, from kitchen to bathroom.
Carrara marble brings the rooms of this Gold Coast home together through a pale background, soft grey movement and carefully shaped edges. The kitchen, pantry, laundry and bathrooms share the same stone palette, while each surface is tailored to its cabinetry and daily use.
The curved island is the centrepiece. Its light 20mm marble top contrasts with dark fluted cabinetry, with a rounded end that softens the outline of the kitchen.
A curved island with a slim stone profile.
The island’s rounded end follows the cabinetry beneath it, giving the marble and joinery a clear relationship. A consistent overhang and an accurately shaped perimeter help the thin profile read cleanly around the curve.
Planning this detail starts before cutting. The cabinet radius, support, stone pattern and finished edge need to be reviewed together, then checked against the installed cabinetry during onsite templating.
Carry the stone beyond the island.
Matching surfaces, different roles.
The secondary counter repeats the curved edge beside a wine fridge and dark cabinetry. A matching marble upstand connects the horizontal work surface to the wall without introducing another material.
Elsewhere, the kitchen run combines a pale stone benchtop with white cabinetry and a window above the sink. Using the same marble keeps these contrasting joinery finishes connected.
Pantry and laundry stonework deserve the same care.
The marble palette continues through the pantry and laundry. Benchtops, sink openings and splashbacks are coordinated around the storage and working space in each room.
A compact utility surface still needs careful planning: the position of the tap, sink, cabinets and splashback affects how it is measured, fabricated and fitted.
The same soft curves in a smaller space.
The bathroom vanities echo the island’s shape. Rounded Carrara tops sit above dark fluted cabinetry, while grey vessel basins keep the stone visible around their bases.
These are stone vanity tops with separate vessel basins. Their curved outline carries the home’s design language into the wet areas without needing to repeat the scale of the kitchen island.
Walk through the finished stonework.
The project film provides another view of the surfaces, proportions and details shown in the photographs.
One stone package. Each room measured individually.
Slab selection and layout: Review the Carrara slabs, natural variation, piece sizes, proposed joins and edge details across the home before manufacture.
Onsite templating: Check installed cabinetry, wall junctions, overhangs and rounded profiles, with sink and appliance information confirmed for each room.
In-house manufacture: Cut, shape and hand-finish the stone in our Slacks Creek workshop. Curves and adjoining pieces are prepared around the agreed construction details.
Installation and sealing: Coordinate site readiness, install the stonework and seal where required. Where included in the scope, sinks are fitted onsite ready for the plumber to connect.
Choosing Carrara for everyday spaces.
Carrara marble offers a natural pattern that varies from slab to slab. Reviewing the actual selection is part of planning the appearance of a kitchen, splashback or vanity.
Marble can etch when exposed to acidic substances and may stain. Sealing helps manage absorption but does not prevent etching or make a surface stain-proof. A suitable cleaning routine and realistic expectations about wear should be discussed before selecting it.
