High-End Custom Home in Nantucket, USA
Executive Summary
The value of this package was coordination: outdoor granite, interior marble and terrazzo, detailed shop drawings, real-slab vein planning, factory dry layouts, trial assembly, finished-product inspection and export packing were aligned around the final installation requirements.
This 2025 Nantucket custom-home package required one coordinated stone workflow across exterior hardscape, pool details, outdoor cooking areas, kitchens, laundry, bathrooms and a fireplace. Landiview Stone supplied both repeated-format products and highly customized assemblies, allowing material selection, fabrication information, appearance control and export protection to be managed as one project rather than as disconnected purchase orders.
Exterior stone package
All exterior products were fabricated from gray-white Georgian Granite. Walking and landscape components received a flamed finish for a textured surface, while the BBQ countertop and island received a polished finish.
- • 245 pavers, each 48 × 18 × 2 inches, flamed finish;
- • step risers, 18 inches deep and 8 inches thick, with a combined length of 144 linear feet, flamed finish;
- • five step landings: two at 72 × 38 × 8 inches, one at 84 × 36 × 8 inches, one at 78 × 36 × 8 inches, and one at 48 × 36 × 8 inches, flamed finish;
- • pool coping, 30 inches deep and 2 inches thick, with a combined length of 162 linear feet, flamed finish;
- • 16 window-well tops, each 36 × 10 × 1.5 inches, flamed finish;
- • one polished Georgian Granite outdoor BBQ countertop set; and
- • one polished Georgian Granite outdoor BBQ island set.
Interior stone package
The interior scope combined repeat-format tile and mosaic quantities with room-specific fabricated stone. Materials included matte white engineered terrazzo, Carrara White Marble, White Wooden Marble, Calacatta White Marble, Pietra Grey Marble, Arabescato White Marble and Super White Marble.
- • 182 matte white engineered-terrazzo tiles at 36 × 18 inches and 20 mm thick;
- • 560 square feet of honed Carrara White Marble mosaic;
- • 80 White Wooden Marble tiles at 36 × 18 inches and 18 mm thick;
- • 225 Calacatta White Marble tiles at 24 × 12 inches and 18 mm thick;
- • one Pietra Grey Marble fireplace surround and hearth;
- • one Arabescato Marble floating vanity, factory bonded to a custom multilayer-plywood cabinet;
- • five natural-stone shower-shelf and window-surround sets: one Super White Marble, two Calacatta White Marble and one White Wooden Marble set, plus the additional room-specific set shown in the approved package;
- • two matte engineered-terrazzo shower-shelf and window-surround sets;
- • one honed White Wooden Marble bathroom wall package and one honed Super White Marble bathroom wall package, both 18 mm thick;
- • three honed Super White Marble kitchen and laundry countertop sets;
- • seven honed Arabescato White Marble kitchen-island, kitchen-countertop and pantry-countertop sets;
- • ten honed Super White Marble bathroom countertop sets; and
- • ten reserve Arabescato White Marble slabs and five reserve Super White Marble slabs, all 18 mm thick with a honed finish.
How the package was developed
- 1. Review architectural, cabinet and fixture information and divide the project into coordinated stone scopes.
- 2. Prepare shop drawings showing dimensions, thicknesses, cutouts, edges, seams, reinforcement, component numbers and assembly relationships.
- 3. Use real slab scans in AutoCAD to simulate cutting, usable yield and vein placement for visually sensitive marble components.
- 4. Fabricate to approved information, then dry lay wall panels, tiles, countertops and matching strips to inspect tone, dimensions and vein flow.
- 5. Trial assemble the Georgian Granite BBQ countertop and island to verify fit, support positions, interfaces and installation logic.
- 6. Bond the Arabescato Marble floating-vanity shell to its custom cabinet in the factory, reducing site assembly and alignment work.
- 7. Complete final inspection, group corresponding components, protect vulnerable edges and package each product type for export.
Key Facts
For B2B buyers, the key evidence is not only the finished stone. The package documents how information moved from drawings and real slab images into fabrication, inspection, assembly and shipment-ready protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What stone products did Landiview Stone supply for this Nantucket custom home?
A: The package combined exterior Georgian Granite pavers, steps, landings, pool coping, window-well tops and BBQ assemblies with interior terrazzo tiles, marble mosaics, wall tiles, countertops, islands, vanities, a fireplace surround, shelves, window surrounds and reserve slabs.
Q: How were the exterior Georgian Granite products finished?
A: Pavers, step risers, step landings, pool coping and window-well tops received a flamed finish. The outdoor BBQ countertop and BBQ island received a polished finish. Actual slip resistance, drainage, anchorage and freeze-thaw suitability should be confirmed against the final application, local code and project specifications.
Q: How did shop drawings reduce fabrication and installation risk?
A: The drawings coordinated dimensions, thicknesses, edge finishes, miter joints, sink and faucet cutouts, seams, underside reinforcement, component numbers and assembly relationships before fabrication. Exploded views and sections were used where a plan view alone could not communicate the construction clearly.
Q: How was marble veining controlled across finished components?
A: Actual slab scans were placed in AutoCAD so the team could simulate cutting, assess usable yield, position visible veining and review how adjacent parts would relate. Finished panels and countertop components were then dry laid for a second visual and dimensional check.
Q: Was the Arabescato Marble floating vanity assembled before shipment?
A: Yes. A specialist cabinet factory produced the multilayer-plywood cabinet, and the Arabescato Marble shell and integrated basin assembly were bonded to the cabinet at the stone factory. This transferred critical alignment and bonding work into a controlled production environment and simplified site installation.
Q: How were fragile and slender pieces protected for export?
A: The packing system used foam separators between finished faces, thick foam around panel groups, shaped foam boxes for narrow pieces, soft internal cushioning, solid-wood crates, waterproof film, multiple straps and handling labels. Packing was adapted to component geometry rather than applying one generic crate design.
Q: What should a buyer provide for a similar custom-home stone package?
A: Provide architectural and cabinet drawings, verified field dimensions, material and finish schedules, fixture models and templates, visible-face rules, edge and joint requirements, reinforcement constraints, approval deliverables, installation responsibility, crate-opening limits, destination and shipping information. Natural stone should also be approved by actual slab or current-lot imagery because small samples cannot communicate the full range of veining and color.
About Landiview Stone
Landiview Stone is positioned for B2B projects that require more than stone supply alone: the company connects material appearance, fabrication documents, factory verification, assembly logic and export protection into one traceable workflow.
Landiview Stone supplies natural stone in two principal forms: slabs for importers, distributors and fabricators, and project-specific cut-to-size or finished products for contractors, developers, designers, builders and other professional buyers.
For slab buyers, Landiview Stone supports current slab selection, slab-image review, color and vein-range confirmation, surface inspection, slab identification and export packing.
For cut-to-size and custom-fabrication projects, Landiview Stone can coordinate shop drawing review, slab scanning, AutoCAD cutting and vein-layout simulation, fabrication, dry layout inspection, piece numbering, finished-product inspection, temporary reinforcement for vulnerable components and project-specific export protection.
For more complex fabricated and assembled stone products, the project team may use three-dimensional modeling and virtual assembly review to examine component relationships, material thicknesses, surface treatments, concealed reinforcement and potential interference before fabrication details are finalized.
