Winner: Ceramic Harmony Int., Inc., Huntsville, Alabama, Stone Importer, Fabricator, Installer and Designer
Project: Mitchell Master Bath
When the Mitchells built a new Tudor-style residence in Huntsville, AL, they wanted an awe-inspiring master bathroom where they could relax in luxury. They commissioned Janna S. Collins of Matheny Goldmon Interiors in Huntsville, AL for this task.
Janna Collins designed the bathroom and worked with Werner Stark of
Ceramic Harmony on the layout and floor design. All stones (marble and
Brazilian quartzite) were selected by the clients and Janna Collins. After
the stones were selected, a waterjet pattern was used to break up the large
floor space. The field pattern consisted of Calacatta Caldia marble bordered
by Perla quartzite, and the tub platform was fabricated out of Perla quartzite.
Both vanities and sinks were custom fabricated out of Perla quartzite. Since
the Mitchells wanted a large shower, a design was created incorporating
Perla quartzite large size slab panels around the shower wainscot and
capped them with a custom molding. The walls above the wainscot (up to
approximately 10 feet) were clad with Calacatta Caldia marble large size
slab panels and again capped with a custom molding. Above these moldings,
large size Perla quartzite slab panels were placed up to the ceiling. The
ceiling received large Calacatta Caldia marble slabs trimmed with a custom
crown molding. The windows and shower casing was made with Calacatta
Caldia marble and Perla quarzite custom fabricated trim. The shower floor
was designed with a custom fabricated channel covered with a matching
Calacatta Caldia marble slab.
All fabrication was done in house at Ceramic Harmony’s state of the art
fabrication facility. The cutting of the floor pattern was done with a waterjet
and the profiles, trim, edges were done on an Intermac CNC machine and
finished by hand. Sinks, vanities, and all final finishing and touch up work
was performed by Ceramic Harmony’s stone craftsmen.
