According to Sosa, the goal was to take the flair of older homes and mix it in with modern design concepts, and stone was selected for its elegant characteristics. Over 5,000 square feet of stone was used throughout the residence.
The kitchen countertops, which feature a 3-inch ogee bullnose, were fabricated from Colonial Dream Extra granite - quarried by Brasil Natural Stone. The same material was used for the backsplash only an Absolute Black granite inlay - from Quantum GMS of San Leandro, CA - was added to enhance the design. “The kitchen was designed to be modern with a little bit of elegance to it,†said Sosa.
