The Turovac Residence in Gilbert, AZ, represents a masterclass in cohesive outdoor and indoor stone design, spanning 1,500 square feet of meticulously executed natural stone installations. Completed in 2023 in collaboration with Marvel Masonry and Keven's Landscaping, this Gilbert, AZ stone project showcases the full versatility of the Plata collection — a sophisticated silver-toned natural stone that unifies every surface from the natural stone patio to the interior countertops. The result is a residence where exterior landscape, hardscape, and interior architecture speak the same material language.

Stone Selection

Every surface in the Turovac Residence was specified from ANS MERMER's premium Plata collection, chosen for its cool, consistent silver-grey palette and its ability to transition seamlessly between honed flat panels and tumbled pavers. The selection includes the Plata 3D Honed Ledger Panel in both 6x24 Flat and 6x6 Corner formats, delivering strong textural depth on vertical surfaces. For horizontal applications, three paver formats were employed: the Plata Honed 24x24 3cm Modern Tumbled Paver, the Plata Honed 6x12 3cm Modern Tumbled Paver, and the Plata Honed French Pattern 3cm Modern Tumbled Paver — each offering proven slip resistance, dimensional stability, and refined tumbled edges suited to Arizona's demanding climate.

Applications

• Patio: The Plata Honed French Pattern 3cm Modern Tumbled Paver establishes an elegant, old-world-inspired layout across the primary outdoor patio space.

• Flooring: Large-format Plata Honed 24x24 3cm Modern Tumbled Pavers create clean, expansive interior floor planes throughout the residence.

• Walkway: Plata Honed 6x12 3cm Modern Tumbled Pavers define structured, durable pathways through the landscape zones.

• Wall Cladding & Feature Wall: Plata 3D Honed Ledger Panels in 6x24 Flat format deliver bold dimensional texture across both exterior cladding and a dramatic interior feature wall.

• Fireplace: The 6x24 Flat and 6x6 Corner Ledger Panels wrap the fireplace surround with precise, mitered corners and continuous stone depth.

• Countertop: Plata's honed finish delivers a refined, matte surface ideal for functional countertop applications.

• Landscape: Tumbled Plata pavers integrate naturally into the surrounding landscape design by Keven's Landscaping, anchoring planting beds and hardscape transitions.

Project Highlights

• 1,500 square feet of continuous Plata stone installations across seven distinct application types.

• Single-collection specification eliminates material discord, producing a unified aesthetic from curb to fireplace.

• 3cm paver thickness selected for structural performance under Arizona heat load and heavy foot traffic.

• 6x6 Corner Ledger Panels resolve outside corner terminations on the fireplace and wall cladding without visible cuts or seams.

• French Pattern paver layout adds visual complexity to the patio without introducing a second stone material.
