Sareen Stone’s Tavira Alfresco Limestone has been used extensively across the outdoor spaces — from the pool surrounds and entertaining terrace to the front entry stairs — creating a cohesive connection between levels.

Dover Heights Residence, Sydney
Perched on a clifftop in Dover Heights, this residence called for a natural stone that could hold its own against one of Sydney’s most dramatic coastal backdrops. Cathedral Limestone was specified across the outdoor spaces, bringing a quiet consistency to a home designed for coastal living at its best.
Elanora Heights Residence, Sydney
Set high within the natural landscape of Elanora Heights, this architect-designed residence by Gartner Trovato reveals a sculptural interplay of space, light and material. Expansive glazing, soaring ceilings and a series of connected indoor and outdoor spaces create a home that feels both elevated and deeply connected to its surroundings.
Kent Street Lobby, Sydney CBD
A Refined Commercial Arrival
Set within a premium commercial tower in Sydney’s CBD, the Kent Street lobby has been designed as a calm, highly resolved arrival space — where materiality plays a defining role in shaping the experience.
The use of Midnight Granite (Custom) establishes a strong and cohesive foundation throughout the lobby, lift areas and circulation zones. The deep tonal base anchors the space, while the scale and precision of the stone detailing introduce a quiet sense of sophistication.
From the moment of entry, the material palette works in balance with light, volume and architectural form — creating a space that feels both substantial and considered.
Bar La Salut, Redfern
Stone as the Foundation of Atmosphere
Some spaces use stone as a finishing touch. At Bar La Salut, it was the starting point.
Lamond Projects selected a crazy paving blend of Silver Ash, Classic and Noce Travertine to define the tone for this Spanish-style wine bar in Redfern, and the result is both grounded and atmospheric.
The irregular shapes and natural variation across three travertine tones create a depth and warmth that a uniform tile simply cannot replicate. Up close, each piece reveals its own character; across the space, they come together as one.

Set within the Southern Highlands, this thoughtfully designed family retreat balances architectural scale with warmth and liveability. A much-loved rural property for a large and busy family, the home has evolved over time, with both the house and surrounding outbuildings carefully renovated to support relaxation as well as entertaining.
Natural stone plays a defining role across the project, with Ocean Grey Granite selected for the outdoor environments, while Santa Fe Limestone brings warmth and softness to the interior spaces. Together, the palette creates a cohesive material language that responds to how each part of the home is lived in.

Luna Chiaro Limestone forms a light, cohesive foundation across the entry, terraces and outdoor entertaining areas, while Silhouette Grey Granite Cobblestones introduce texture and structure to circulation zones within the landscape.
