The Coulter Silver Premium project in Scottsdale, AZ represents one of the most cohesive natural stone installations completed in the Phoenix metro area in 2023. Spanning 2,500 square feet across both interior and exterior applications, this residential project demonstrates how a single, well-curated stone collection — Silver Premium — can unify a property from the natural stone patio and pool deck to the fireplace facade and feature wall. Designed for the demanding Arizona climate, every surface selection prioritized thermal performance, slip resistance, and long-term aesthetic integrity.

Stone Selection

Every product specified for this project was sourced from ANS MERMER USA's Silver Premium collection, a sophisticated limestone offering cool grey tones with natural veining that complements desert modernism effortlessly. The installation features the Silver Premium Honed 16x16 3cm Modern Tumbled Paver for large-format field applications, the Silver Premium Honed French Pattern 3cm Modern Tumbled Paver for transitional and landscape zones, and two ledger panel formats — the Silver Premium Split Face Ledger Panel 6x20 Corner and 6x24 Flat — for vertical cladding surfaces. The honed and modern tumbled finishes reduce surface glare under the intense Scottsdale sun while maintaining a refined, contemporary appearance.

Applications

• Patio & Flooring: The 16x16 Honed Paver was laid in a grid pattern across the main patio and interior flooring zones, delivering a seamless indoor-outdoor transition.

• Pool Deck & Pool Coping: The Modern Tumbled finish on the 3cm pavers provides the necessary slip resistance and heat dissipation for poolside safety and comfort.

• Walkway & Landscape: The French Pattern Tumbled Paver adds visual rhythm and scale variation across garden pathways and landscaped approach areas.

• Feature Wall & Wall Cladding: The 6x24 Flat Ledger Panels clad the primary accent walls, introducing dramatic texture and depth to both interior and exterior elevations.

• Fireplace & Facade: The 6x20 Corner Ledger Panels wrap the fireplace surround and building facade corners cleanly, eliminating raw edges and ensuring a finished, architectural result.

• Spa: Silver Premium's natural density and moisture resistance made it an ideal surround material for the spa enclosure.

Project Highlights

• 2,500 square feet of Silver Premium natural stone installed across 11 distinct application types.

• A single-collection design strategy created visual continuity across the entire property while reducing specification complexity.

• The 3cm thickness specification throughout ensured structural durability for both vehicular-adjacent and high-foot-traffic zones.

• The split face ledger panels introduced bold textural contrast against the smooth honed field tile, elevating the overall design sophistication.

• All selected finishes meet the performance demands of Scottsdale's high-UV, high-temperature desert environment without sacrificing aesthetics.
