THIS SOUTH LOUISIANA ESTATE IS NOTHING SHORT OF A TRIUMPH OF FINISH AND MATERIAL SELECTION, THOUGHTFULLY AND MASTERFULLY EXECUTED IN AN IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY OF SOME OF NATURE’S FINEST HANDIWORK.
As you step through the front door and enter the foyer, the classic black and white palette sets the tone for the entire home. Honed Nero Marquina and Statuary White marble tiles laid in a checkerboard pattern underline this chic space.
Entering the kitchen, you will find the most spectacular application of honed Arabescato Calacatta. Starting with the cantilevered island, the rich tones of the charcoal veining are carried through to the second island, the perimeter counters, backsplashes, winding up the hood wrap and echoed in the dramatic black painted cabinetry.
In the wine bar, the color tones found in the honed Calacatta Viola are a playful reminder of the purpose of the space; burgundy, blanc, champagne…words not only describing the vintages, but the hues found in the stone.
Retreating to the sanctuary of the primary bath, polished Calacatta Oro marble adorns each surface, establishing a fresh repose from the punchy drama inflicted on the rest of the home.
Stepping out onto the veranda, the checkerboard pattern is revived in a well-worn installation of tumbled Ocean Grey and Carrara marbles – a poised finale to the dynamic tour of what can only be described as a masterpiece of modern design in stone.
Triton Stone Group was awarded a Pinnacle Award for this project for excellence in implementation of design, quality craftsmanship, innovative solutions to unique challenges, control of stone material, tone, and character quality. Rachel Jones, Co-founder and CMO of Triton Stone Group, accepted the Pinnacle Award for Triton Stone Group at TISE 2024. This is the second consecutive Pinnacle Award for Triton.
