A landscape, not a pattern.
The source block was chosen for charcoal-and-white movement that could carry continuously around the full circumference. With no second block and nowhere for a seam to hide, selection was the first act of engineering.
Carved from a Single Block
Sculptural Marble Bath
One block. No seams.
A 2.4-tonne wave-veined marble block transformed into one continuous vessel, hollowed and polished by hand for a quiet country house outside Colchester.
≈ 1,900 mm / 75 in
≈ 560 mm / 22 in
≈ 100–110 mm
≈ 950 kg
Hand-polished inside and out
Hollowed to an even wall.
Carving moved from the outside in, with constant measurement holding a deliberate wall thickness throughout. The result retained the drama of the original block while becoming a functional, balanced vessel.
Walked in. Never dragged.
The bath travelled upright in a padded crate. On site it moved through the house on a lifting cradle, rubber-wheeled dolly, timber runners, and protected floors before being eased onto adjustable feet and aligned with the prepared waste.
“We had seen the block at the workshop and still weren't prepared for how it would feel in the room. Nothing was rushed, nothing was marked. It's the first thing every guest asks about.”
