London-based Marble Arch has completed the redevelopment of 28 luxury apartments in Cadogan Gardens, off the Kings Road in London's fashionable Chelsea, as part of a scheme worth £6m.

London-based Marble Arch, a major supplier, manufacturer and installer of natural stone, has completed the redevelopment of 28 luxury apartments in Cadogan Gardens, off the Kings Road in London's fashionable Chelsea, as part of a scheme worth £6m Working with contractor The Wates Group, and architects Paul Davis and Partners, on behalf of Cadogan Estates Ltd, Marble Arch supplied and installed a range of unusual stones for the exacting, modern design, with stunning results

Azul Valverde Cascais, a dark brown limestone with a soft golden flower effect, was chosen for kitchen floors, while thick African black granite was used for kitchen tops.

Azul Valverde Mourisca, a lighter brown limestone from the same region as the Cascais, was specified for floors to common parts, staircases and skirtings, and Vidraco de Ataija Azul, a hard polished light olive green limestone, was used for the bathroom walls.

The floor and wall slabs in the bathroom had critical 10mm shadow gaps between the stone and plaster work, making the interface between trades critical to the project's success.

All the materials were sourced from Portugal, with the exception of kitchen tops supplied by MGL, London.

Marble Arch is entering the project into the Interiors category of this year's Natural Stone Awards.

The awards, sponsored by the Stone Federation of Great Britain and the CITB, will take place in November.
