A Pacific Coast Highway residence in Malibu featuring a stunning illuminated onyx kitchen island and precision-crafted stone interiors. The translucent onyx was precision-cut and backlit to create a luminous focal point with panoramic coastal views as its backdrop — a signature installation by West Coast Custom Stonework.
This Malibu project features a custom quartzite kitchen designed for a coastal residence, combining durability with natural elegance. The installation includes a large island, full-height backsplash, and carefully matched slab patterns.
Quartzite was selected for its strength and resistance, making it ideal for high-use kitchens while maintaining a refined, natural stone appearance suited to luxury coastal living.
This Malibu PCH project features an illuminated onyx kitchen island, making translucency, panel support, and backlighting preparation central to the fabrication process.
Backlit onyx requires controlled cutting, careful edge finishing, and installation planning that allows the stone to glow evenly while still functioning as a polished residential surface.
Backlit onyx is one of the most demanding materials for a kitchen island because the light exposes details that ordinary installations can hide. Slab orientation, edge detailing, and support planning all influence the final appearance.
This project connects to our custom kitchen countertop and specialty stone fabrication work.
