Duke Stone of Cornwall design, supply and install premium bespoke stone surfaces including quartz worktops, granite, marble, porcelain and sintered stone for kitchens, bathrooms and luxury interiors across Cornwall. Working with homeowners, developers and designers in Truro, Falmouth, Newquay, Wadebridge, Padstow, Rock, St Austell and surrounding areas, we combine expert craftsmanship with contemporary coastal inspired design.
Western Terrace uses pale, softly veined stone to connect several working zones within a light oak kitchen. Duke Stone worked alongside Meadows Kitchens to template, fabricate and install the U-shaped worktops, sink area, cooking splashback and waterfall breakfast bar.
Unlike the restrained white surfaces at Bath House, this project is shaped by visible veining and a more complex run of details. The stone turns corners, meets a window, frames a black undermount sink and continues vertically at both the range and the end of the breakfast bar.
A waterfall end takes the worktop down to the floor beside the breakfast-bar seating.
Western Terrace Project Overview
Project: Western Terrace, Cornwall
Applications: U-shaped worktops, black undermount sink cut-out, drainer grooves, upstands, range splashback and waterfall breakfast bar
Duke Stone’s role: Templating, fabrication and installation
The sink run brings several fabrication details together in a compact area. A black undermount bowl sits below the polished opening, with drainage grooves cut into the stone to the right. Matching upstands follow the rear wall and continue below the window, giving the perimeter a consistent edge.
The pale surface and black fittings create a clear contrast, while the subtle movement in the stone adds depth without overpowering the oak cabinetry.
The undermount sink, routed drainer grooves and upstand were fabricated as one coordinated working area.
Stone Around the Range and Breakfast Bar
Across the main cooking wall, the worktop runs into a tall matching splashback behind the range. This gives the busiest part of the kitchen a robust, continuous finish and carries the material’s light veining onto the vertical plane.
At the breakfast bar, the horizontal surface turns through a full-height waterfall edge. Achieving a clean transition at this prominent corner depended on accurate site dimensions, careful fabrication and controlled alignment during installation.
The worktops link the sink, range and breakfast-bar zones around the U-shaped room.
The Finished Western Terrace Kitchen
The completed installation uses one surface language across several different functions. Fine veining softens the pale worktops, the black sink and tap give the washing area definition, and the waterfall end turns the breakfast bar into an architectural feature within the open room.
Planning a Kitchen with Bespoke Stone Details?
Duke Stone can fabricate sink cut-outs, drainer grooves, splashbacks, waterfall ends and made-to-measure worktops for kitchens across Cornwall.
What stonework did Duke Stone complete at Western Terrace?
Duke Stone templated, fabricated and installed the perimeter worktops, undermount sink opening, drainer grooves, upstands, range splashback and waterfall breakfast bar.
What is a waterfall worktop edge?
A waterfall edge continues the worktop material vertically down the end of a cabinet or seating area. It creates a prominent finished side and requires careful measurement and alignment.
Can drainage grooves be fabricated beside an undermount sink?
Yes. Where the chosen material and specification are suitable, grooves can be machined into the surface beside an undermount sink as part of the fabrication process.
