In a white, light kitchen, natural stone and quartz surfaces work together, with the countertops in Caesarstone Stone Gray and the large, furniture-style island topped by a single slab of SuperWhite quartzite. The backsplash is constructed with varying sizes of Blanco Hizhou marble tile. (Photo by Brandon Barré)

Inspired by the simple, angular themes of Frank Lloyd Wright, this kitchen/dining area includes Silver Spark granite in five different areas. There’s the regular countertop; an L-shaped wet bar (far right, to the rear); an island/nook; a more traditional dining room table; and (center, to the rear) a work area and backsplash for the walk-in pantry.

Heard that a sleek, contemporary kitchen can’t use natural stone? Try this penthouse application, where a 9cm alder wood countertop works effortlessly with quartzite countertops, cabinetry of alder veneer/grey anodized aluminum and stainless-steel appliances for a very clean look.

The word here is indulgence, including a custom-designed medicine cabiet and a two-person shower with a glass-mosaic tile floor. Natural stone adds toe the luxury, with a Verde Karzi Satin granite countertop, a heated tumbled Crema Marfil marble floor (with matching, albeit unheated, Crema Marfil on the walls).
