I love it, and are considering this myself which is why I can offer an insight to installation. Yours is luckily freestanding, however I would install this central to the long part of your L and enclose it within cabinetry, actually yours is Likely to just be faced with fake doors and no carcass behind, still a place to utilize storing buckets or baskets, even laundry powder, just not a standard cupboard. I would then actually install a stone benchtop making this technically undermount trough. You would still have the practical size and aesthetic impact this concrete relic has to contribute. Only, with the bench top area to make it a useable space.

Hi Tace, thanks so much for getting back to me and posting the photo. I think that looks pretty nice. Love the sink/taps too. Are your cabinets glossy Polyurethane? I'm now thinking of getting white a laminate benchtop to match the cabinets (rather than Caesarstone due to $$$), and going with a clear mirror splash back (behind the cooktop) and herringbone marble like yours (behind the sink). This is a 3D render of a possible design - I don't like the subway tiles though - I think the Herringbone marble splashback would look better.

Thanks Fort Interiors. I checked out the Smartstone website and found my dream kitchen! I just received the quote from my local joinery works for my proposed kitchen island, bench and splashback in 'statuario venato' including under mount sink cut out, 2 power point cut outs and waterfall ends -just under $13000!! Unfortunately it seems I will be needing to reign in my naive champagne taste ideas :(

What a great idea. I would assume commercial kitchen suppliers would have access to these types of benches. If not a metal fabricator or a cabinet maker who specialises with stainless steel would be able to commission one for you.
