Princeton Terrace

An ambitious furniture project in a residential context: Casey’s Creative Kitchens chose Laminam’s large slabs for the interior of the this private Family Home, in London,, Canada. The Fokos Talco collection was used to finish the fireplace surround and shelf in the living area, for the kitchen countertop, backsplash, and island, and for the laundry room countertop Nero Assoluto from Collection series. A surface of aesthetic and functional excellence, which provides stylistic continuity to a design featuring square forms, clean volumes, and elegant, well-defined color schemes.

Casey’s Creative Kitchens, a long-standing full-service custom kitchen retailer, offers tailor-made solutions incorporating functional design with high aesthetic impact, a result which it achieves thanks to partners who prioritize product excellence without compromises. Its partnership with Laminam is particularly solid, and a particularly eloquent and meaningful example of this is the Princeton Terrace Family Home residential project in London.

Casey’s Creative Kitchens chose Talco colored large slabs from the Fokos collection for numerous internal features: the fireplace surround and shelf in the living area, the kitchen countertop, backsplash, and island, and finally the countertop in the laundry room. The interior of the Princeton Terrace Family Home features a modern design with clean lines, square volumes, and a dialectic between light and dark shades mediated by the extensive use of natural wood – American walnut. The Talco color functions as a connector, harmonizing the contrasts and creating a neutral base which provides chromatic continuity in the different areas without ever overwhelming the individual parts of the whole.

Fokos is an extremely poetic collection, which draws inspiration from the primordial elements from which nature itself draws its strength: stone, sand, lead, earth and salt. With their textural content, these elements create a surface with velvety tactile sensations, based on meticulous color research. The colors are easily combinable variations of beige to offer warm shades when composing spaces. Talco, in particular, delicately draws out spaces, offering a unique visual and tactile experience.

A prime example is the fireplace surround: a column nearly five and a half meters tall which, with its minimalist yet imposing form, exalts the prerogatives of the Laminam surfaces to the fullest.” The lightweight nature of Laminam slabs makes them perfect for such an imposing structure,” explain the designers from Casey’s Creative Kitchens. “What’s more, their exceptional durability and heat resistance ensure that this masterpiece will stand the test of time.”

Like all Laminam large slabs, Fokos Talco boasts unique strength and durability, with resistance to thermal shock and UV exposure, staining, bending, chemicals present in common detergents, and the proliferation of mold and bacteria. Laminam’s natural surfaces are ideal for both interior use and as exterior cladding, and – for indoor applications – are a safe choice in any part of the house, including the most delicate ones in terms of safety and hygiene, such as the kitchen and bathroom.

“We are constantly seeking out partnerships with manufacturers who share our passion for quality and innovation,” explain the designers of Casey’s Creative Kitchens. “In Laminam, we have found a company which perfectly embodies our values. Whether it is a major renovation or a more tightly focused restyling, Laminam allows us to create spaces which reflect the customer’s desires and expectations in the most interesting and innovative manner. What’s more, the ease of installation and fabrication, and their extreme design flexibility, allows us to bring our boldest visions to life.”
