Challenge
CBC Stone, a prominent architectural stone supplier, wanted to transform their headquarters lobby into an inspiring space that reflected their expertise in natural stone craftsmanship. The existing lobby felt outdated and lacked cohesion with the brand’s reputation for elegance and innovation.
The goal was to create a dynamic yet welcoming environment, showcasing the versatility of stone while maximizing functionality and sustainability.
Solution
Our design team worked closely with CBC Stone to develop a concept centered on the beauty of natural materials and timeless design. Drawing inspiration from Scotland’s rugged landscapes, we integrated bespoke stonework into every element of the space.
Key Features
- Statement Wall: A dramatic feature wall using a blend of polished marble and textured slate, showcasing CBC Stone’s signature collection. The wall incorporated a backlit logo inlaid with precision-cut quartz.
- Reception Desk: Crafted from a single block of Carrara marble, the desk anchors the space with its minimalist silhouette and striking veining.
- Flooring: A seamless transition of honed limestone and herringbone-patterned granite tiles to guide foot traffic while adding visual interest.
- Interactive Display: A custom-built stone slab display and touchscreen kiosk allow visitors to explore CBC Stone’s material library and project portfolio.
- Sustainable Touches: LED lighting and the use of recycled stone offcuts for accent details reduced the environmental impact of the renovation.
Outcome
The revitalized lobby is now a bold representation of CBC Stone’s craft and ethos. Guests are greeted by a harmonious blend of natural textures, modern functionality, and timeless aesthetics. The space has become a hub for client interactions and showcases the endless possibilities of working with stone.
Client Testimonial:
