The
artistic design for this upscale kitchen called for a curved
seam on both the countertop and the floor where differing
materials would meet for visual interest. The countertop
features two different granites in two different finishes:
polished Verde Tunas and honed Sunset. The black granite
floor tiles match the countertop and abut the hardwood in
curves reflective of the counter top design. The curved
seams posed substantial fabrication challenges, and A-Stone
performed nearly every aspect of the job by hand. The choice
of bonding agent was another challenge, which A-Stone solved
by using black epoxy.
Judges'
Comments:
Though
small in size, this job was complex and highly detailed.
We liked the choice of materials used to implement the interesting
design. Quality workmanship contributed to the excellent
results.
