Inspired by Adventure and Palladio

This project in Biltmore Forest, Asheville, NC was a collaboration with Jim Selmsenberg of Palladium Home Builders. We travelled with the home owners to Italy to see the various stone options and fabrication process and to meet the craftsmen. This working trip and adventure is something that we relish with clients, when it's possible. The home owners were very much involved in the design and material sourcing, and we at DeSantana love working closely with our clients.

Several different stones and applications were installed throughout the interior and exterior of their home. A Thala Beige limestone watertable surrounds the exterior, and the custom front entry surround, wall caps, fountain, stair treads and other exterior details are carved in Italian Lecce Beige limestone. 

A beautiful patterned design is installed on the terraces, consisting of a subtle mixture of Vicenza Beige and Lecce Beige limestones. Blanco Naxos marble slabs and Thala Beige slabs were imported from Italy and installed for the shower walls and countertops respectively.
