The three lines
Quartz — engineered, non-porous, no sealing. The low-fuss all-rounder.
Granite — natural, every slab unique, loves heat. Seal it periodically.
Marble — luminous veining for statement spaces; needs a caring owner.
What this is
This studio is a drafting tool for countertops. You draw your kitchen's counter runs as a flat plan, in inches — the same measurements you would take off your cabinets with a tape measure. Close an outline and the studio treats it as stone: it extrudes the shape into a 3D slab you can orbit and renders the surface with a procedural stone pattern matched to the material you picked, or to a real color from our catalog.
It runs entirely in your browser. There is no account to create, nothing to install, and nothing to pay.
How the estimate works
The number in the estimate card is recomputed from your drawing every time it changes — it is never stored, so it can never go stale against the plan. Five things feed it:
Area. The square footage of every run you drew, priced by the material family you chose — quartz, granite, quartzite, or marble. Each family carries one installed rate per square foot, reconciled with the pricing published across this site, so the studio and the site never quote the same stone two ways.
Edge. Finished edge is measured along each run's outline. The eased profile is included; the nine decorative profiles, bevel through mitered built-up, add a per-linear-foot upcharge.
Cutouts. Sinks, cooktops, faucet holes, pop-up outlets, and drainboard grooves are flat fabrication fees per opening. An undermount sink also adds a polished reveal, priced by the opening's perimeter.
Backsplash. The 4-inch and 6-inch strips are priced per linear foot along the wall edges you choose; a full-height slab is priced by area at the material's own rate plus fabrication.
Details. Seams, corbels, corner radii, and appliance reliefs each carry a small flat fee, and an appliance gap takes its area back off the stone.
The result is a planning ballpark, not a quote. Slab selection, seams, tear-out, and site conditions are what the free in-home measure settles.
Saving and coming back
Save keeps your design under a name you choose. What is saved is the full drawing — every run, cutout, and edge choice — so reopening it re-creates the scene exactly, and the estimate recomputes from scratch.
Saving also mints a private edit key that stays in this browser: only the browser that saved a design can change or delete it, and opening someone else's design and pressing Save forks your own copy instead of overwriting theirs. No email address, no password.
From drawing to installed
When the plan looks right, request a free in-home quote and mention your design's name. We template the kitchen ourselves, fabricate in our own shop, and install with our own crew — and the drawing you made here already answers the questions a first visit exists to ask: how many square feet, how much finished edge, and what goes where.
