Edge Details: The Hallmark of Quality

Edge details are more than just finishing touches; they are the hallmark of quality and craftsmanship. We offer a variety of edge profiles to suit every style and preference. Whether it's the elegant curves of an ogee edge, the smooth simplicity of a bullnose, or the subtle refinement of a pencil round, our skilled artisans ensure each detail is meticulously crafted to perfection.

Fireplace Surrounds: A Statement of Elegance

A well-designed fireplace surround can transform a room, adding both warmth and sophistication. Our custom fireplace surrounds are crafted with the same attention to detail and dedication to quality that defines our work. Each piece is a unique blend of traditional hand skills and state-of-the-art CNC machinery, resulting in creations as durable as they are beautiful.

Innovation Meets Tradition

While our methods and machinery have evolved, our commitment to quality and craftsmanship remains unchanged. Our factory, one of the most modern in the UK, combines the precision of computer numerically controlled (CNC) technology with the timeless skills of our masons. This synergy enables us to tackle complex projects with unmatched accuracy, ensuring that every piece meets the highest standards.

Marco Fazio

Marco Joe Fazio is CCO and director of photography at space+style™ by marco joe fazio Ltd, working in fashion, hospitality, food & drink, architecture and design.

Born and raised in Tuscany, Italy, Marco learned the rudiments of photography and the magic of the darkroom in his early school years. Thereafter, he worked in architecture, interior, and lighting design for two decades. During those years, Marco founded an award-winning architectural studio and managed a multidisciplinary design team, working mainly for fashion industry clients.

Since moving to London in 2008, Marco has been recognised as a Chartered Architect of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) while pursuing his dream of connecting the worlds of architecture, design, and fashion from the photographer's perspective.

After years of passionate dedication, hard work and professional achievements, he was awarded the Fellowship certification (FBIPP) by the British Institute of Professional Photography and won the Peter Grugeon Award for the Best Fellowship of the Year in 2016. Subsequently, he has been admitted as a member of the highly regarded Association of Photographers (AOP).

Having achieved a stronghold in coordinated image and photography for the design and fashion world, Marco has taken his expertise into the hospitality market; luxury and boutique hotels, fine dining restaurants, and the drinks and beverage industry are all reaping benefits from his services.

Today, Marco is leading his agency in assignments in the hospitality, fashion, and design industries.

Creative photography, cinematography, coordinated images and brand marketing form the core of his services.

Thanks to more than a decade in the music industry, Marco has expendable knowledge in composition and sound engineering. That knowledge is a valuable asset in creating licensed soundtracks and magnetic sound designs for commercial productions.

Marco's passion and another branch of his business are mentoring and nurturing new visual arts talents. In 2016, he launched "telling [fashion] stories" – photography & set design workshops – and more recently, he has become a lecturer for the School of Art and Creative Industries at London South Bank University (LSBU).

The crossover between genres and industries is a peculiar and essential factor in his work, contributing to thinking outside the box and achieving a unique style rich in symbolism and content.
