Granite Thin Veneer + Silver Travertine Paving + Bluestone Blue Select Paving

Nestled among the rolling hills of Orinda, this residence blends timeless architecture with the enduring beauty of natural stone. From the dramatic covered entry to the expansive outdoor living spaces, Granite Thin Veneer creates a warm, welcoming presence while adding texture, depth, and lasting character throughout the home.

Thoughtfully incorporated across exterior walls, architectural details, and outdoor gathering spaces, the stone complements the home's clean lines and rich wood accents with an organic palette inspired by the surrounding landscape. Grounded by a mix of Bluestone and Silver Travertine Paving, the result is a design that feels refined yet livable.

Materials to Achieve This Look

Bluestone Blue Select Paving

Blue select bluestone paving features uniform cool blue-gray tones sorted specifically to exclude the mixed thermal green, brown, or lilac shades of "full range" stone. It offers a clean, sophisticated look for upscale patios, pool decks, and walkways.

Silver Travertine Paving

Silver Travertine Pavers are a mixture of light and dark silver with beige and grey tones with significant movement throughout. These pavers are one of the most popular choices for paving materials and are recommended for interior and exterior use.

Ponderosa Thin Veneer

A medium grained quartzite featuring grey and brown tones with distinctive silver veining and occasional rust-toned mottling. Cut and pattern play an important role in making this material suitable for both traditional and modern applications.
