"We love to design using natural tactile materials and consider design detailing. Neolith offers a beautiful product that aligns with this philosophy," says Cam Pyke, Director of Yoke Architecture. "Strata Argentum is as close as we’ve seen to a travertine stone, but its strength and profile allowed for more creativity. This has allowed us to detail the kitchen in different ways— the island bench takes on a monumental heaviness in the top, which is contrasted by the sleek 12mm profile of the expressed Neolith material on the back bench."
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Riverwashed finish of Strata Argentum enhances the sensory experience, offering a more natural feel than many engineered surfaces. "We were really drawn to the travertine grain, and using it on both the benchtops and splashbacks lets this grain come through strongly. Its tonality is warm and soft and sits beautifully in the range of dark timbers we often use in our interiors," Cam explains.
This project exemplifies how Neolith’s unrivalled durability, refined aesthetic, and commitment to sustainability make it the ideal choice for contemporary kitchens. Whether used to create bold, sculptural statements or sleek, minimal profiles, Neolith’s diverse colour portfolio offers endless possibilities for architects and designers alike.
