Architectural Masterpiece

At the heart of this architectural masterpiece, are the organic surfaces that highlight its aesthetic identity. Our Luna Chiaro Limestone Alfresco, with its soft, muted tones, extends gracefully from the pool surrounds to the entry of the house, introducing unique textures that add a sense of inviting luxury.

The use of Luna Chiaro from the pool surrounds through to the house entry carries its soft tones and textural character across the exterior areas. This continuation of the limestone supports the resort-style character described throughout the project while maintaining a consistent material presence from the pool towards the home.

Luna Chiaro

Strategically employed, Luna Chiaro Limestone not only defines the spaces but also infuses them with a resort-style ambiance. Its diverse textures, ranging from the honed finish on the shower wall and bathroom floor, to the crazy paving in the shower floor, enable Luna Chiaro to harmoniously transition from interior to outdoor areas.

Connecting Interior and Outdoor Spaces

The result is a seamless blend of sophistication and relaxation, a testament to the designer, who ingeniously blended organic textures with radiant light.

Inside, the treatment of Luna Chiaro varies by space. A honed finish appears on the shower wall and bathroom floor, while crazy paving introduces a different texture to the shower floor. Together with the limestone used outside, these applications carry the same material through both interior and exterior areas.

Bellevue Hill Masterpiece

In this Bellevue Hill masterpiece, Luna Chiaro Limestone elevates the overall sophistication and creates a haven of luxury and comfort, where the forces of modernity converge with the beauty of nature.

Project Highlights

Luna Chiaro Limestone in Bellevue Hill, Sydney

Luna Chiaro Limestone is used throughout the exterior and interior of this contemporary Bellevue Hill residence by Anna Antoniades Architecture. The limestone extends from the pool surrounds towards the house entry and continues inside, where honed Luna Chiaro features on the shower wall and bathroom floor, with crazy paving introducing another treatment to the shower floor.

The different applications highlight the versatility of the limestone within the project’s resort-style material palette. Soft tones characterise the exterior stone, while transitions between honed, Alfresco, and crazy paving treatments introduce varied textures throughout the residence and enhance the relationship between its interior and outdoor areas.

Sareen Stone supplies Luna Chiaro Limestone for residential and commercial projects across Sydney and Australia.

TAKE US THROUGH THE INITIAL STAGES WHEN YOU WERE DESIGNING THE HOME.

We were very fortunate to work with the noted Southern Highlands Architect, Martin McGrane, on the creative design and layout of our home. Together with Martin, we created a beautiful, contemporary open plan home to enjoy with our family and friends.  This is our forever home.

Through a friend of ours, we came across an interior designer, and a beautiful outdoor material, the Cathedral Limestone, which we just fell in love with. We worked closely with Peta Daniel, Interior Designer from Daniel Baker Design, based in Sydney.  Which was wonderful, Peta just got us and what we were wanting to achieve in our home and helped us to make it a reality, in the selection of materials and finishes.

 

WERE THERE CERTAIN PEOPLE/PLACES THAT YOU TOOK INSPIRATION FROM WHEN DESIGNING/BUILDING THE HOME?

We were looking for a contemporary design, however, I didn’t want it to be too modern.  Inspired by a property in LA, that my husband came across, which we took some concepts from and added our ideas, and made it our own.

The LA contemporary look and detail leading into the house from the front door was something that we just loved.  Along with having one row of tiles that runs along the inside of the glass sliding doors leading into the living/dining room from the alfresco space was also a unique detail we wanted to include.

WHAT WERE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES YOU FACED THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING PROCESS?

The build started in February 2020, and with all the delays throughout COVID, material delays, supplier issues, constant rain, mud pools, you name it, we had it!  Encountering all the possible elements, it felt like we were living in gumboots most of the time during the build.  It took 3 years to build the property, and 8 months just to get the roof on!

We had a deadline for our home to be finished by, which was our daughters’ wedding, being held in March 2023.

There were delays happening everywhere, including issues and delays with the quarry who were providing the Limestone that was to be used in all the outdoor areas surrounding the property.  We had chosen Cathedral Limestone in an alfresco finish with a lovely organic distressed finish on the edge, that we knew would complement the other natural materials we were using.  Time was of the essence, and it came to crunch time and the quarry could not provide a guaranteed time of delivery.  We thought what a disaster!

 

TELL US ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH SAREEN STONE.. AND HOW THE TEAM HELPED TO OVERCOME THE SUPPLY ISSUE WITH THE CATHEDRAL LIMESTONE.

Working closely with Michael Mastro, from Sareen Stone, he had been in constant contact updating me as best he could.  Then an alternative solution was presented, another Limestone of the same size and finish, with similar tones, which I hoped would work and arrive in time.  Sareen Stone had been behind the scenes working closely with another quarry, to create a new product ‘Lavarosa Anticato’, just for our project, so that we had a solution and were able to finish our home in time for our daughter’s wedding.

When the material arrived, we couldn’t have been happier.  We just loved the Lavarosa Anticato, and it worked so well with our colour palette, and love it even more than our previous selection.  We were over the moon!

 

DESIGNER COMMENTS:

Working with Kate and Eugene on this project was wonderful. They were passionate about the overall design but also the finer details and the interplay of the natural materials with the surrounding landscape.

It was very important that the natural material palette was harmonious, and that each element was both complementary and warm.

I’ve worked with Michael from Sareen Stone on a number of projects and have always been impressed with his professional advice and clear communication. The magnificent home warmly wrapped with the “Lavarosa Anticato” is simply stunning.   A beautiful project!
