A Warm Welcome to the Nespresso Experience

The Nespresso Boutique at Karrinyup has been thoughtfully designed to create an inviting retail environment where customers can explore coffee, discover new flavours and enjoy personalised service within a relaxed and contemporary setting.

Warm timber joinery, softly illuminated displays and a restrained material palette work together to create a welcoming atmosphere. Throughout the boutique, Tavira Honed Limestone provides a calm, cohesive foundation that connects the retail, consultation and tasting areas while allowing the carefully curated product displays to remain the focal point.

Tavira Honed Limestone Flooring

Sareen Stone’s Tavira Honed Limestone was selected as the primary flooring throughout the boutique, bringing understated elegance and timeless appeal to the contemporary retail fit-out. Its soft neutral tones, gentle natural variation and honed finish complement the warm timber joinery, textured wall finishes and refined detailing found throughout the space.

The generously proportioned limestone tiles enhance the sense of openness while introducing subtle depth and natural character. The flooring provides a sophisticated backdrop that supports the overall design without competing with the vibrant coffee capsule displays or customer experience.

Natural Stone in a Premium Retail Environment

Retail flooring must perform under the demands of daily customer traffic while maintaining its visual appeal over time. Tavira Honed Limestone offers a durable and refined natural surface suited to premium commercial interiors, combining lasting performance with the timeless character of genuine natural stone.

Its continuous use throughout the boutique creates visual cohesion between the entrance, retail displays, consultation spaces and tasting counters, reinforcing the thoughtful design language that defines the Nespresso customer experience.

Materiality and Brand Experience

The natural warmth of Tavira Honed Limestone sits comfortably alongside the boutique’s timber joinery, softly textured feature walls and contemporary detailing. Together, these materials create an environment that feels welcoming, tactile and considered, reflecting the premium quality associated with the Nespresso brand.

Rather than competing with the colourful capsule displays, the natural limestone provides a quiet and enduring backdrop. Its subtle variation and authentic character contribute to a retail environment that feels warm, sophisticated and carefully resolved.

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!
