This beautifully executed renovation in Templestowe captures the essence of refined living — where marble craftsmanship meets modern functionality. Every surface in the kitchen, ensuite, bathroom, and laundry was reimagined through careful material selection, precise detailing, and the enduring quality that defines Pazzi’s work.
The kitchen — refined elegance in Arabescato Vagli
At the heart of the home, the kitchen features Arabescato Vagli marble (20 mm honed) by Lapege. The stone’s soft, flowing veining brings a timeless sophistication, balancing natural movement with architectural precision.
A 40 mm mitred square edge forms the benchtop, while the island — clad on all sides in Arabescato Vagli — extends over 8 metres of continuous mitred joinery. This centrepiece showcases seamless transitions, reflecting both the craftsmanship and discipline of Pazzi’s fabrication team.
Elegant, durable, and deeply tactile, this kitchen represents the perfect fusion of form and function.
Bathrooms & ensuite — sculptural serenity in Calacatta Viola
In the wet areas, Calacatta Viola marble (40 mm mitred) brings bold sophistication. The deep burgundy veining flows across vanities, splashbacks, and feature walls, creating a visual rhythm that transforms these spaces into luxurious retreats.
Each surface was designed to balance visual impact with practical durability, with every join aligned to maintain the marble’s natural flow. The honed finish softens the intensity of the colour, adding depth and warmth to each space.
Laundry — understated continuity
The Calacatta Viola continues into the laundry, reinforcing the home’s unified design language. The benchtops and splashbacks are refined with precise mitred edges, offering both durability and visual continuity.
This consistency in stone selection creates an effortless connection between all rooms, ensuring the renovation feels cohesive and considered from every angle.
Crafting beyond surfaces
From kitchen to ensuite, this renovation exemplifies Pazzi’s commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and timeless design. Each stone was hand-selected, templated, and finished with expert detailing — turning natural materials into architectural statements.
Executed in collaboration with Hodson Building Group, Wynn Joinery, and interior designer Sarah Barban, the result is a home that radiates balance, beauty, and enduring quality.
