The level of craft matters more than the price of the marble. Period flats, penthouses and singular properties.
Luxury full-scope refurbishments are not distinguished by the price of the marble. They are distinguished by the level of craft: the carpenter who can make an invisible mitre joint, the plasterer who finishes a ceiling without shadows, the electrician who hides installations behind a chamfered edge, the stone setter who lays a three-metre piece without visible cuts.

We work with a network of trusted trades we have collaborated with for years. We do not improvise contractors. The quality of a high-end refurbishment lies more in hands than in drawings, and that requires long relationships. We work routinely with noble woods (French oak, walnut, brushed ash), natural stones (Travertine, Nero Marquina, Bianco Carrara, Calacatta), metals (natural brass, blackened steel, bronze), natural textiles and mineral coatings (microcement, lime stuccos, tadelakt). We do not use imitations.

Craft quality, materials, level of personalisation, rigour of construction management and finish detail. In luxury, invisible details define the result.
For a high-end refurbishment, yes. The difference between standard and luxury is decided in hundreds of small project decisions a contractor alone cannot make.
