Casa Nido. Nesting within heritage in Valencia

Occupying a corner plot in Torrefiel -one of Valencia’s most humble neighborhoods- the Nest House is conceived as an exercise in protecting and highlighting the scarce and valuable built heritage still preserved in the streets of this key peripheral district in the city's north. David Zarzoso David Zarzoso David Zarzoso David Zarzoso Indeed, although code regulations allowed us to demolish the existing structure and build a new, the project insisted from the very beginning on preserving the original envelope and seeking shelter within it. It is as if that skin -made of solid brick and lime mortar, held intact over the years- had now become the foundation (or perhapsthe nest) for a new, emergent architecture that r... More

Product • By Luce Spaces LLCCalacatta Viola Marble Sculptural Leaf Vessel Sink

Calacatta Viola Marble Sculptural Leaf Vessel Sink

Calacatta Viola marble—defined by its deep burgundy intrusions, violet striations, and contrasting white ground—reaches full visual intensity in this natural stone vessel sink, where the honed finish draws the eye across the surface without reflective interference. Carved from a single block into an asymmetrical leaf profile, the basin's organic curvature and gently undulating rim demand the kind of sculptural precision that distinguishes architectural stone objects from conventional sanitaryware. At 24 inches in length and 5 inches in depth, the above-counter form carries considerable visual weight, its silhouette sharpest when paired with a wall-mount faucet that leaves the stone's geometry uninterrupted.

Product • By Luce Spaces LLCCalacatta Viola Marble Wall-Mount Sink with Crested Backsplash

Calacatta Viola Marble Wall-Mount Sink with Crested Backsplash

Calacatta Viola marble forms over millions of years into a dense, crystalline matrix distinguished by its ivory ground and deep burgundy-violet veining—geological drama that polishing amplifies into a high-gloss optical depth rarely achieved in a natural stone wall-mount basin. This rectangular floating sink is precision-cut to a clean 24"×18" deck, its solid geometry resolved upward by a 12" crested backsplash whose arched silhouette introduces a single curve against otherwise orthogonal planes. The fully solid, hole-free deck surface preserves the continuity of Calacatta Viola's veining pattern across the entire face of the fixture, making each wall-mount marble sink a structurally and visually unrepeatable architectural eleme...

Product • By Luce Spaces LLCCalacatta Viola Marble Fluted Half-Round Wall-Mount Sink

Calacatta Viola Marble Fluted Half-Round Wall-Mount Sink

Calacatta Viola marble carries one of the most visually arresting geological signatures in natural stone—deep burgundy and violet veining coursing through a white crystalline ground—and in this wall-mount natural stone basin, that character is given precise architectural form. The half-round profile is CNC-carved to a tight D-shape geometry, its flat rear plane engineered for flush wall integration while the curved front exterior is worked into a fully fluted texture, each vertical channel cut with consistent depth and spacing to produce a rhythm of shadow and relief across the honed surface. At 24 inches wide with an 8-inch vertical drop, the partially filled honed finish draws the eye into the stone's tonal range without refle... More

Product • By Luce Spaces LLCBursa Gray Marble Wall-Mount Sink with Stepped Basin & Backsplash

Bursa Gray Marble Wall-Mount Sink with Stepped Basin & Backsplash

Bursa Gray marble carries a dense, slow-formed grain structure that produces its characteristic charcoal field threaded with irregular white veining—a visual weight that reads with quiet authority against bare plaster or large-format tile. This natural stone wall-mount sink translates that geological character into precise architectural form: a terraced interior basin steps concentrically toward the drain, while a flush-integrated backsplash extends the plane vertically without interruption. The honed finish across every surface suppresses reflectivity just enough to foreground the stone's own tonal complexity, keeping the geometry of the cut—curved front profile, sharp horizontal terraces, continuous deck—at the center of...

Product • By Luce Spaces LLCCarrara White Marble Fluted Wall-Mount Sink

Carrara White Marble Fluted Wall-Mount Sink

Carrara White Marble's characteristic silver-grey veining and bright ground tone are preserved in full geological clarity across this compact rectangular natural stone wall-mount sink, where the honed matte finish subdues reflectivity to draw attention directly to the stone's inherent chromatic contrast. Vertical fluted channels—precisely carved across the exterior profile—introduce a reeded rhythm that gives the basin visual depth and tactile definition without disrupting the geometric discipline of its 20-inch form. Suspended as a floating wall-mount basin, the piece commands proportional authority in tight or open configurations alike, its partially filled surface texture and sharp-edged silhouette maintaining the exacting st...

Product • By Luce Spaces LLCCalacatta Viola Marble Wall-Mount Right Corner Sink

Calacatta Viola Marble Wall-Mount Right Corner Sink

Calacatta Viola marble's deep burgundy and violet veining—formed through millennia of mineral intrusion across a white crystalline ground—reads with particular intensity across the honed surface of this wall-mount right corner basin, where the matte finish draws out chromatic contrast without reflective interference. Cut to an asymmetric geometry that resolves flush against two perpendicular walls while projecting a sweeping curved front profile, the 24"×16"×4" form occupies corner space with structural precision. Suited to installations pairing a natural stone vessel sink or floating basin with a separately specified wall-mount faucet, each slab yields a singular arrangement of veining. This ensures the finished fix... More

Product • By Luce Spaces LLCCalacatta Viola Marble Fluted Wall-Mount Sink with Curved Backsplash

Calacatta Viola Marble Fluted Wall-Mount Sink with Curved Backsplash

Calacatta Viola's deep burgundy and violet veining—formed through millennia of mineral compression within dense crystalline limestone—reaches its full visual intensity under a high-gloss polished finish, making this wall-mount marble basin an exercise in geological precision rendered at architectural scale. The exterior of the natural stone vessel sink is worked into a vertical fluted profile, its parallel channels creating a rhythm of light and shadow that contrasts sharply with the mirror-smooth basin interior and the sweeping curved geometry of the integrated 10-inch backsplash. At 37 inches in length, the floating configuration and partially filled surface voids characteristic of hand-cut marble ensure that no two examples o... More

Product • By Luce Spaces LLCCalacatta Viola Marble Wall-Mount Sink with Curved Backsplash

Calacatta Viola Marble Wall-Mount Sink with Curved Backsplash

Calacatta Viola is defined by its dense white matrix and the deep burgundy veining that cuts through the stone with geological intensity, a chromatic contrast formed over millions of years of crystalline compression. Precision-cut into a rectangular wall-mount basin with softened edges and an integrated curved backsplash, this natural stone vessel sink translates that raw geological drama into a composed, architecturally resolved form. The polished finish draws the surface to a high-gloss clarity that sharpens the veining's depth and amplifies the visual weight of the stone against any wall plane. More

Product • By Luce Spaces LLCCalacatta Viola Marble Freestanding Drawer Sink

Calacatta Viola Marble Freestanding Drawer Sink

Calacatta Viola marble is defined by its dense geological layering, which produces the stone's characteristic deep burgundy and violet veining crossing fields of cool white—a chromatic intensity that polishing amplifies into high optical contrast. Cut to freestanding vanity proportions and precision-milled with integrated drawer cavities, this natural stone vessel sink resolves the formal tension between monolithic mass and concealed functionality without interrupting the monolithic surface plane. At 34 inches in height and 30 inches across, the rectangular form occupies vertical and horizontal space with the deliberate visual weight that anchors a minimalist interior without ornamentation. More

Product • By Luce Spaces LLCCalacatta Viola Marble Fluted Front Wall-Mount Block Sink

Calacatta Viola Marble Fluted Front Wall-Mount Block Sink

Calacatta Viola marble is defined by its deep interplay of burgundy, violet, and white—a chromatic intensity produced over geological time and revealed here through a high-gloss polished finish that amplifies every vein across the basin's broad, rectangular deck. Precision-cut as a single solid block, this natural stone wall-mount sink presents a fluted front profile that introduces rhythmic vertical relief against the otherwise planar geometry, creating a deliberate tension between shadow and reflective surface. At 31.5 inches in length with a substantial 10-inch drop, the floating installation heightens the visual weight of the form, allowing the partially filled surface character of the stone to read as both structural and sculptur...

Product • By Luce Spaces LLCCarrara White Marble Fluted Wall-Mount Sink

Carrara White Marble Fluted Wall-Mount Sink

Carrara White marble's characteristic grey veining—formed through the recrystallization of limestone under sustained geological pressure—achieves particular visual clarity when cut to a honed finish, where the matte surface tempers reflectivity and allows the stone's tonal depth to read as architectural texture rather than ornament. This natural stone wall-mount basin translates that geology into built form through a precisely executed fluted exterior profile, its vertical ribbing generating a rhythm of light and shadow that gives the rectangular volume a considered geometric presence against a flat wall plane. The partially filled surface character inherent to Carrara White marble ensures that each honed basin retains a singula... More

Product • By Luce Spaces LLCCalacatta Viola Marble Fluted Corner Wall-Mount Sink with Backsplash

Calacatta Viola Marble Fluted Corner Wall-Mount Sink with Backsplash

Calacatta Viola marble is defined by its geological intensity—dense burgundy and violet veining cutting through a white ground in patterns formed over millions of years of mineral compression. The polished finish of this wall-mount corner basin brings that chromatic depth into full resolution. The 16"×16" footprint is engineered for corner installation, allowing the fluted front profile to introduce vertical tactile rhythm precisely where two planes meet, while the integrated backsplash extends the stone continuously up the wall for architectural coherence. Each natural stone vessel sink of this form is milled from a single block, ensuring the veining migrates uninterrupted across the basin floor, fluted face, and backsplash as... More
