Bianco Eclipsia & Calacatta Viola Worktops for London’s Most Prestigious Riverside Development
Situated along the River Thames, directly opposite Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Southbank Place stands as one of London’s most distinguished residential developments. A collaboration between Canary Wharf Group and Qatari Diar, the scheme is moments from Waterloo Station and offers an exceptional standard of contemporary living. JR Stone is proud to be appointed to deliver the complete kitchen worktops package for a selection of its luxury apartments.
Following our successful installation at the penthouse in Building 6 – where our team crafted and delivered bespoke White Emperador worktops alongside individually tailored stone portals – we were selected once again to support the next phase of the project. This includes the fabrication and installation of worktops for 88 private apartments in Bianco Eclipsia Leather finish, as well as four exclusive penthouse residences featuring the distinguished Calacatta Viola.
The interiors illustrate how natural stone elevates modern architectural design. The centrepiece of each kitchen is an impressive stone island, expertly constructed to achieve a seamless blend of functionality and refinement. The combination of the central island with a second full-length worktop creates a harmonious layout, perfectly suited to open-plan living spaces that combine kitchen, dining and lounge areas.
Every element is engineered with precision: from laser-guided templating and CNC fabrication to meticulous hand-finishing and flawless edge detailing. The Leather finish on Bianco Eclipsia offers both tactile appeal and practical benefits, providing a soft, contemporary texture resistant to fingerprints and everyday wear.
In the penthouse apartments, Calacatta Viola transforms the kitchens into striking, design-led spaces. Its deep burgundy veining set against a soft, creamy background delivers an unmistakably luxurious aesthetic. Paired with dark timber, brushed metal and architectural lighting, the stone becomes a true statement feature within each residence.
Across Southbank Place, panoramic views of London’s skyline play a defining role in the design. Our worktops and bespoke stone details complement these vistas, enhancing the overall sense of elegance, durability and timeless quality.
At JR Stone, we are proud to contribute to projects that demand exceptional craftsmanship and unwavering attention to detail. Southbank Place represents the very highest standard in London residential development – and our stonework is crafted to match that ambition.
