Tasman Grey granite has been utilised extensively throughout this outdoor project in Melbourne, not only for coping and paving around pools but also for the tiles in the outdoor entertaining space, brought to fruition by Butterworth Landscapes. 

For Granite Works, this material was an obvious, natural decision. “Granite is a hard-wearing, durable product that looks amazing and requires almost no long-term maintenance,” explains Jordan Taylor, director of Granite Works. “It’s the perfect choice for pool and alfresco areas, so homeowners can entertain guests without the worry of staining or damaging their stone.”

Tasman Grey granite is available in a range of textures suitable for almost any application. For this particular project, Sabo Design opted for a Flamed finish, which boasts incredible slip resistance while retaining a soft texture underfoot. 

This magnificent modern pool, designed by Sabo Design and built by Show Piece Pools, is generous despite the small size of the block and the limited space with which to work. “Although she worked within a small area, Lily Sabo from Sabo Design has managed to not only include a great-size pool, but also an outdoor entertaining area and beautiful garden with an open lawn,” says Jordan.

If any scratches do appear, you can polish out the marks with a cloth and a bit of elbow grease. Heat- and stain-resistant, the sinks are easy to clean and difficult to damage.
Sinks are widely considered to be the new focal point of the kitchen, so make the ultimate statement in your space with a Santorini black or matt-white granite sink. Colour-match it with your stone benchtop or use contrasting colours for a striking look.
A wide range of configurations ensures you’ll find the right size for your kitchen. Made in Italy for the Australian home, these sinks are 80 per cent granite and naturally antibacterial to remove bad smells and pollutants in the kitchen. The other 20 per cent is resin and quartz; the resin sets the shape while the quartz adds a slight sparkle.
These rock-solid products come with a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty for peace of mind, and are available for purchase from leading electrical and plumbing retailers.

The brief given to Phil O’Brien and Designer Kitchens was to create an elegant, timeless kitchen that was functional and worked well with the rest of the home.
After many meetings to discuss the new layout of the kitchen, the first things to go were the dividing walls to give the kitchen the extra space required for the modern appliances the client wanted to incorporate. This also allowed the area to become a part of the rest of the home rather than a hidden nook in the house.
To open the space, the team was asked by the client that their unused dining room become a part of the kitchen, thus creating flow between
the two meal areas.
While the old kitchen had a large built-in pantry, it certainly didn’t match the kitchen, so the new layout had to include plenty of storage in a way that didn’t make the kitchen look cluttered and too busy. This was achieved by including plenty of drawers and cabinet space.
The choice of using a White Sand 100 per cent gloss painted doors and panels teamed with the ghibli natural granite on the benchtops worked favourably as they are not only classic, elegant colours but they will simply never go out of style.
Using the latest stainless-steel appliances takes this exquisite design to another level, making it innovative, sleek and contemporary while keeping its classic beauty.
