Kitchen · Seattle, WA
A modern kitchen in Seattle's Alki Beach with honed Statuaretto natural stone, eased polished edges and matched veining across several slabs.
The layout was complex, with several cutouts for the sink and cooktop, and the existing cabinets set the fit. The veining had to line up across more than one slab. The homeowners asked for a honed finish, which needs to look consistent across every piece.
We used StoneEx digital laser templating to plan each cutout and edge. The veining was matched across the slabs, and the seam sits along the sink area where it shows least. The edges are eased and polished against the honed face.
The countertop shows one continuous flow of veining with a quiet honed finish. The sink and cooktop cutouts sit cleanly in the stone.
The challenge in detail
This Alki Beach kitchen had a complex layout that called for accurate measurements and multiple cutouts for the sink and cooktop. The homeowner wanted the natural stone to blend with a modern design while staying functional, and the existing cabinetry had to be taken into account, so planning started from what was already in place.
The natural veining of Statuaretto needed careful handling so the pattern lined up across the surface. With multiple slabs involved, keeping a continuous flow from one piece to the next was a real challenge. The honed finish was a specific request, and it had to look consistent on every slab.
The location added logistics. Delivering and handling large slabs in a busy Seattle neighborhood took careful coordination so the installation went smoothly with little disruption.
How we approached it
Work started with a StoneEx digital laser scan of the kitchen. The measurements let the team plan every cutout and edge profile in advance and lay out the slabs so the natural veining would align.
CNC cutting delivered the accurate cuts this layout required and supported a consistent honed finish with eased, polished edges, so each piece fit the intricate layout of the kitchen. The same process produced the cutouts for the undermount sink and cooktop to the homeowner's specifications.
The seam was planned along the sink area to keep it as discreet as possible and leave a smooth surface. Our team matched the veining patterns across the slabs, which brings out the character of the Statuaretto and gives the kitchen a cohesive look from end to end.
The finished project
The finished kitchen pairs a modern design with the timeless appeal of natural stone. The honed Statuaretto countertops and eased, polished edges give the room a sleek, elegant look that matches the homeowner's vision for the space.
The undermount sink is integrated cleanly, and the cooktop cutout sits accurately in the stone. Matched veining and a carefully placed seam give the countertops a continuous surface that supports both the function and the appearance of the kitchen.
The kitchen now serves as both a practical workspace and a centerpiece of the home. Careful templating, vein matching and finishing are what let a multi-slab natural stone countertop read as a single, calm surface.
