jade green vanity

Striking marble for the bathroom of a private residence

We were commissioned to fabricate a beautiful vanity for the client of an architectural practice in central London.

The unit, which is composed of a top, heavy section curved ends, and drawer fronts, was fabricated from matching slabs and blocks of Jade Green marble.

 

The double basins were carved out of a 200mm thick slab on a 5-axes CNC machine and then hand-finished by our masons.

We machined the underside to lighten the piece as much as possible, but the whole thing still weighed half a tonne.

 

The finished piece had to be craned into place through a window when it was installed.

Unfortunately the owner of the car parked outside the property had not received the notification that the road was being closed. Luckily for us it was a Porsche so the delivery could go ahead anyway, as the crane fitted over it. We would have been stuck if it had been a Range Rover!
