At Chaii Living, we pride ourselves on bringing creativity, craftsmanship, and precision to every project. Our latest job, a custom microcement benchtop for a client in Burleigh, is a testament to the beauty and versatility of microcement and Venetian plaster in modern interior design.
The Project: A Curved Masterpiece
This particular project was a unique challenge: our client wanted a bold, custom-designed island bench that would seamlessly integrate with the overall aesthetic of their contemporary kitchen. The vision was clear – a white, curved microcement island bench that would serve as both a functional workspace and a striking feature of the kitchen. However, the real magic came from integrating a custom sink into this stunning design.
Crafting the Custom Microcement Benchtop
Microcement is an incredibly versatile material, perfect for creating bespoke designs that reflect personal style. It’s sleek, durable, and adds a timeless elegance to any space. For this project, we applied multiple layers of microcement to craft the island bench, working carefully to create a smooth, seamless surface that matched the curved lines of the kitchen design.
The beauty of microcement lies in its ability to mould around any shape. In this case, we precisely curved the surface to flow seamlessly around the custom sink, ensuring it looked as though it was part of the island, rather than something simply added later. The result? A harmonious, continuous design where form and function meet in perfect balance.
The Integration of the Custom Sink
The client’s choice to integrate a custom sink into the design was the perfect way to make the benchtop truly one-of-a-kind. The sink, crafted with precision to match the curves of the island, flows effortlessly into the surrounding microcement. With careful attention to detail, we ensured that the sink’s installation did not interrupt the seamless nature of the bench. Every edge was shaped with precision, and the microcement was expertly blended around the sink to maintain the integrity of the design.
This attention to detail is what sets Chaii Living apart. We don’t just create surfaces; we create art that enhances the function and beauty of the space.
Why Choose Microcement?
Microcement is a perfect choice for those looking for a modern, seamless look that is both elegant and practical. It’s incredibly durable and easy to maintain, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchen benchtops. Plus, the variety of finishes and textures allows for complete customisation, meaning that each project can be tailored to suit the client’s unique style.
For this Burleigh project, the white finish we chose provided a crisp, clean look that brightened up the kitchen and made the island bench the focal point of the space. The subtle texture of the microcement added depth and interest without overpowering the surrounding decor.
The Final Touches
Once the microcement was applied and smoothed to perfection, the benchtop was sealed to protect it from wear and tear. The result was a luxurious, smooth, and perfectly curated piece of functional art. Our client was thrilled with how the bench turned out, and it now serves as the centrepiece of their kitchen – a place where family and friends gather, cook, and entertain in style.
