“Cambria was really one of the perfect product selections for us across the board, even in the guest room showers, cladding them floor to ceiling,” says ESG ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN Senior Interior Designer Bridget Hale, who helped ideate the Omni Viking Lakes Hotel interior schematic. A white quartz Cambria WEYBOURNE shower sets the tone, and the seamless Cambria even eliminates the need for grout to further ensure cleanliness and functionality. In this OMNI VIKING LAKES HOTEL guest bathroom, cleanliness is of the utmost importance. The classic white designs work beautifully with the painted cabinets (the couple saved and updated the existing cherry cabinets to reduce waste), brass hardware, and herringbone floors. They chose Cambria SUTHERLAND perimeter countertops where they could continue its rich veining across the matching backsplash, and the subtler all-over pattern of WHITBY for the large island. “We knew Cambria counters would both look great and stand up to heavy use in our home kitchen.” “Given everything this kitchen has to do, the decision to use Cambria was an easy one,” says Kilmer-Purcell to Cambria Style. With the nearest grocery store 40 minutes away, Kilmer-Purcell and Ridge raise and grow almost all their own food. The goal? To create an efficient place to cook and entertain, and also to develop recipes, shoot food photography, and teach and film cooking classes. “Cambria worked out so perfectly that we really wanted to bring the quartz into our own kitchen.”

“Several years ago, when building our flagship mercantile store, we used Cambria for the countertops because we knew they’d be more functional and durable than marble, especially in a place open to the public,” explains Ridge in an INSTAGRAM LIVE. The Beekman 1802 mission is to “make life more meaningful,” and founders Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge brought that same thoughtful and sustainable approach to THE RENOVATION OF THEIR KITCHEN, choosing to partner with Cambria for the design. “Our house has a lot of ‘moments,’ a lot of distinct rooms with their own personalities, which I think reflects my style,” says Johnson to Architectural Digest. The effect is at once both subdued and eclectic. In the primary bathroom, Johnson and Macdonald paired white Cambria COLTON countertops with a Colton shower surround to ground the design scheme, which also features glass, tiles, concrete, terrazzo, leather, cane, wood, and an abundance of greenery. That means a spilled cup of coffee or glass of red wine is never cause for alarm" Johnson remarked. “Cambria has all the elegance we loved about our marble counters but it is super stain-resistant.

I am all about how things look and feel, so it’s obviously a clear winner." Johnson was delighted to learn how easy Cambria quartz is to maintain, noting that "another bonus is that Cambria is virtually maintenance free, a huge plus in our busy lives.” “It’s nonporous and doesn’t absorb food and liquids like our marble counters did. “We really did our research and discovered that there is no safer countertop for food prep than Cambria” Johnson noted. Johnson also updated the kitchen of her modern hilltop retreat using some of Cambria’s most elegant white marble alternative designs. Entrepreneur JACLYN JOHNSON worked with British interior designer GINNY MACDONALD on the renovation of her Los Angeles–area home, which Architectural Digest describes as “inspired by the spirit and aesthetic of Napa, Palm Springs, and Tulum” with a “predominance of black, pink, beige, and white.”
