Delivering a high-end residential project is always a
delicate balancing act: achieving a distinctive, premium look while remaining cost-conscious enough to avoid overcapitalisation. The result must resonate with buyers both practically and emotionally—and in three standout Sydney projects, Kaolin Porcelain played a pivotal role in achieving just that.
From timeless elegance to architectural distinction, these projects didn’t just meet market expectations—they redefined them. Here's how Kaolin helped them set suburb records.
Why Did These Projects Choose Kaolin?
1. Large Format, Luxury Impact — Without Luxury Overhead
Our 900×1800mm large-format porcelain tiles brought a sense of scale and sophistication typically reserved for high-budget builds. Compared to generic small-format options seen in many developments, Kaolin’s tiles added just $1,500 per bathroom—an investment that translated into significantly higher buyer appeal and long-term visual value.
2. Design-Led Finishes That Go Beyond
"Standard"
Textured matte surfaces, Endless Vein® designs, and highly realistic stone-look
finishes gave architects and designers the freedom to integrate porcelain tiles
as a core design feature—not just a background surface.
3. Seamless Aesthetics with 0.5mm Grout Joints
Our precision manufacturing enables installation with ultra-fine 0.5mm grout
joints—unique to Kaolin. The result? An almost seamless finish that mimics real
stone, elevating the perception of luxury.
4. Bespoke Features — from Mosaics to Vanities
Each project included custom-designed mosaics and vanities crafted specifically to match the architectural language. These details created standout spaces that were anything but cookie-cutter.
The Projects
Murdoch Residence, Turramurra
An award-winning classical home by Kyearn Architecture, Murdoch Residence features our Silver Cloud Dolomite Endless Vein® tiles across the main floors. Installed with 0.5mm joints, the result is nearly monolithic in appearance. Bathrooms were elevated further with Royal Green Jade porcelain and a custom-designed vanity in Supreme Aosta Grey.
Brighton-Le-Sands Duplex by Zane Carter Architects
This contemporary duplex development embraced the warmth of Tuscan Crème
textured honed tiles across the main floor. In the bathrooms, Endless Vein®
tiles and custom mosaics—meticulously fitted to curved walls—delivered visual
continuity and refined execution.
Newtown Residence by Casabela
Newtown is known for its eclectic vibe, and impressing buyers here is no small
feat. This bold design used our exclusive Greg Natale Collection, along
with custom vanities and mosaics, to craft bathrooms that truly stood apart.
The result? A new suburb record for its category.
Kaolin Porcelain continues to prove that design innovation, superior quality,
and value-driven choices can achieve premium outcomes—helping developers and architects not only meet market expectations, but exceed them.
