Each corner of Stone Manor is a narrative woven with texture, tone, and refinement.
The exquisite Arabescato Corchia marble transforms the powder room into a serene sanctuary of natural luxury. Its sculptural veining contrasts beautifully with clean, contemporary lines. Capturing the marble’s dramatic details was an exercise in balancing texture and light to highlight its natural beauty.

As an Architectural Digest-approved interior photographer, my approach to photographing Stone Manor was rooted in storytelling. I sought to honor the designers’ vision while celebrating the interplay between light, texture, and architectural refinement. Each angle was carefully considered to create editorial-style imagery that draws the viewer into the space, evoking both emotion and appreciation for the design.
