beautiful stone for the finest of homes
timeless opulence
Monks Lantern is a very large house built in the classical style on the Crown Estate, St George’s Hill, Weybridge Surrey. Environmental responsibility and sustainability are prerequisites when developing this sort of luxury property with materials that will last for generations a must. The performance and longevity of stone both internally and externally fulfil these requirements perfectly.
The beauty of Calacatta Vagli combined with the skills of the mason to take book matched slabs and cut them to shape and size so that the veins match perfectly, is used to stunning effect in the master bathroom, while the ensuite was tiled with St Moritz marble.

Water jet cut detailing in the limestone hall floor
A lasting first impression
Beautiful large size Thala Beige polished limestone tiles were laid throughout the main entrance hall, up the main staircase and on the landing floors. The same stone was water jet cut to form a circular motif on the raised part of the entrance hall floor.
The back staircase, kitchen/family room floors and the lower ground floor/pool area floors were tiled using Grigio Perla limestone sandblasted to give it a lovely granular finish.

Two contrasting islands were fitted in the kitchen: the first was in polished Caesarstone Oyster with a sharks nose edge, the second was in Bianco Eclipsia Quartzite.
