“Uh-oh” moment. “We were set on using Patagonia quartzite for both the countertops and the full-height backsplash, but with such a bold, dynamic stone, matching the patterns across multiple surfaces was no small feat,” Harrison says. “The veining is incredibly distinctive, and we knew any mismatch would be obvious. We ended up securing five slabs to give us the flexibility we needed for a cohesive layout. Even with that, templating was a challenge.
