Key Design Highlights: The Power of Contrast
The success of Project Braun lies in its bold material choices and specialized finishes that respond to the island’s vibrant environment.
1. Bold Interiors with Toros Black Marble
In a striking design move, the interior features Toros Black Marble with a Splitface surface. This deep, dark Turkish marble provides a dramatic backdrop, adding a sense of prestige and modern flair to the indoor areas. The raw, textured splitface finish breaks the light beautifully, creating a sculptural effect on the walls.
2. The Mediterranean Soul: French Pattern Flooring
For the main interior flooring, the client chose the Classic Travertine French Pattern Set.
- The Finish: The Unfilled, Brushed, and Chiseled edges provide an authentic, old-world charm that is incredibly soft underfoot.
- The Benefit: This specific finish offers excellent durability and a timeless aesthetic that stays cool in the Caribbean heat.
3. Rugged Exterior Elegance: Splitface Cladding
To harmonize the building with Bonaire’s natural landscape, Classic Splitface Travertine (10xFree cm) was used for outdoor cladding. This 3D textured stone provides a rugged, organic defense against the elements while ensuring the villa stands out with its multi-tonal beige layers.
Custom Production for Global Excellence
Supplying a remote location like Bonaire requires precision and logistical expertise. Mekmar ensured:
- Textural Synergy: Balancing the raw Splitface surfaces with the refined Brushed finishes across 580 m².
- Climate-Ready Materials: Selecting travertine and marble varieties that maintain their beauty in tropical coastal environments.
- Secure Transit: Expert packaging to ensure the safe arrival of various sized tiles and delicate splitface strips to the island.
