Pranvera of Vula ID, approached GD-Stones to assist with sourcing some exciting stone finishes for bathrooms and dining space in a newly built duplex apartment in Centrum District, Oslo.
Design was inspired by the Fjords of Norway, the flow of the space is set from the moment the door to the penthouse is open. With visibility across the space and connection with the landscape and horizon. Each space from the living area to the kitchen, the dining area and to “The Nook” are shaped in the angular form of a Fjord.
The specification called for show stopping marble, onyxes, anything that would make this project stand out from the crowd. The materials were selected during multiple trips to Italy, selected materials included Amazzonite, Connemara Green, Rainbow Onyx and Roma Imperiale.
Material was shipped to our London factory, where which we prepared detailed photographic renders of various permutations and combinations of each area in order to arrive to the best result. The selected materials were not the only challenging aspect, but there were also some pretty complex technical hurdles to overcome. This included designing a system that allowed us to fix and back light stone to a ceiling…. not easy! Additionally, we surveyed and installed, therefore coordinating every aspect of the project from start to finish. It was a fantastic project to be able to be involved with and the results speak for themselves.
