AVA Blue Quartzite and Costa Esmeralda come together beautifully in this refined contemporary residence, creating a strong connection between the kitchen, bathrooms, and wet areas. Designed and crafted with a clear focus on natural texture, soft contrast, and practical luxury, this project showcases how carefully selected stone can elevate everyday spaces into standout design features.
In the kitchen, AVA Blue Quartzite takes centre stage across the benchtops, island, and splashback. Its deep blue-grey base, sweeping movement, and warm bronze undertones create a sophisticated focal point against the soft neutral cabinetry. The stone adds depth and drama while maintaining a clean, modern feel.
Through the bathrooms and wet areas, Costa Esmeralda introduces a softer natural expression. Its green-grey tones, delicate white veining, and organic movement bring a calm, spa-like quality to vanity tops, splashbacks, toilet feature walls, and shower panels. Used across multiple areas, the stone creates consistency while giving each space its own quiet character.
Natural Stone Across the Home
This project is a strong example of how two feature stones can work together without competing. AVA Blue Quartzite delivers bold movement and visual impact in the kitchen, while Costa Esmeralda brings softness and elegance to the bathrooms.
The kitchen feels polished and architectural, with the AVA Blue Quartzite wrapping through the island, rear splashback, and working surfaces. Its polished finish reflects light beautifully and highlights the natural layers within the slab.
In the bathrooms, Costa Esmeralda is used with restraint and precision. From the vanity tops to the toilet feature walls and shower partitions, the stone adds warmth, texture, and a natural focal point against white tiles, frameless mirrors, and minimal fixtures.
