Case study · NW3

Hampstead island.

A waterfall island in Silestone Lyra — one slab, folded over both ends so the veining pours to the floor.

The brief

The island is the whole argument of this kitchen, so we mitred Lyra down both ends as a waterfall — veins running unbroken from worktop to floor. The client chose the vein direction standing over the dry-laid slabs in our workshop.

Perimeter runs stay quiet and low-key so the island can speak; the hob sits flush in a precision cut-out with concealed ventilation slots behind.
