We believe your daily utility spaces should be as calming as your living room. We use single, honest materials like marble and teak to turn kitchens and bathrooms into sculptural, quiet sanctuaries.

This bathroom in the Collectors House is a study in minimalism, crafted from a single type of marble. The custom-carved sink appears to grow out of the wall, creating a seamless and sculptural look.

In the Pink Marble House, the kitchen is defined by a dramatic pink marble backsplash. The space flows towards the "flying" timber treads of the staircase, connecting the home's different levels and functions.

The kitchen in our Collectors House features custom cabinetry in a soothing sage green. Fluted glass on the upper cabinets adds a layer of texture and visual interest, partially obscuring the contents for a clean look.

A close-up of the material mix in the Barefoot House kitchen. We paired a richly patterned pink granite backsplash with simple, clean oak shelves to create a balance of texture, color, and form.

We created a dialogue in darker tones for this bathroom in the Barefoot House. A custom-carved basin made from heavily figured granite becomes the focal point, set against moody, dark stone walls.

The kitchen in the Pink Marble House, designed for a restaurateur, is both beautiful and highly functional. The dramatic pink Makrana marble is used for the backsplash and island, making a bold statement.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area in our Terracotta Earth House is designed for social cooking and eating. A terracotta-hued micro-concrete floor unifies the space, complemented by teak wood cabinetry and a marble-topped dining table.

About Functional Art: Kitchens & Bathrooms

We treat these functional areas with the same design attention as your living room. In our bathrooms, we often carve sinks directly from a single block of stone to minimize visual clutter, while our kitchens prioritize durable, natural surfaces like teak and marble that handle the realities of daily use without losing their visual warmth.
