“The space features seamless white cabinetry with shaker-style cabinetry that create a clean and timeless foundation. The design is elevated through the extensive use of Smartstone’s Calacatta Borghini on the benchtops, splashback, and waterfall island, bringing texture and subtle luxury to the space,” says Allison.

"Smartstone allowed me to bring warmth and movement into the space, while giving my clients a surface that endures everyday life," she notes.

Arty explained that the consistency of Smartstone sintered stone finishes, colour accuracy, and durability of the product all help achieve the level of detail and refinement AFD Studio is known for.
“What I enjoyed most about this project was the collaborative process and the opportunity to shape spaces that feel emotionally resonant. We were intentional with every detail from joinery proportions to the placement of stone to ensure the home feels cohesive and beautifully resolved,” she added.

At the centre of the design is the kitchen: a communal hub positioned to take in expansive city views. To ground the space, Strutt Studios conceived an oversized island bench generous in scale yet finely detailed. Wrapped in walnut timber and topped with Smartstone’s Calacatta Lusso sintered stone, it anchors the interior with warmth and sophistication.
