Award winning stone projects
The beauty is in the stone; realising it is our work.
Award-winning homes are defined by their details — and exceptional stonework begins long before installation. At Granite Workshop, we bring 210 years of combined expertise to the selection, design, stone fabrication and installation of premium stone benchtops in Auckland, working with architects, interior designers, builders and homeowners to achieve an uncompromising finish.
Our stonework features in homes recognised across leading New Zealand design and building award programmes, including NZ House of the Year, NKBA, TIDA and NZIA — achievements shared with the talented project teams who trust Granite Workshop to deliver their vision.
From our Auckland premises, our master stone artisans combine advanced CNC technology, waterjet cutting and specialist hand craftsmanship to transform natural stone, marble and quartzite slabs into refined architectural features. From luxury kitchen benchtops and marble benchtops to bookmatched stone, complex mitred edges, integrated stone vanities, basins and bespoke detailing, every surface is precision fabricated from raw slab to finished installation.
It is this combination of material knowledge, advanced stone fabrication, craftsmanship and exacting installation that has established Granite Workshop as a trusted name for luxury stone benchtops and architectural stonework in Auckland and New Zealand.
