This custom concrete benchtop in Lara is a perfect blend of modern craftsmanship and rustic character. Set against a bold exposed red brick splashback and supported by matching brick pillars, the benchtop anchors the entire space with a raw yet refined presence. The concrete itself features a smooth, satin-sealed surface in a soft, natural tone, chosen to complement the rich texture and colour of the surrounding brickwork without competing with it.

Carefully poured and finished by hand, the benchtop was built to align seamlessly with the brick piers and integrated into the custom framework of the outdoor kitchen. It serves not just as a durable work surface, but as a visual centrepiece — offering plenty of space for food prep, serving, or gathering with mates around the BBQ. The clean lines, crisp corners, and subtle texture of the concrete give it a contemporary feel, while the brick elements keep it grounded in timeless, earthy design.

This project highlights what CCS does best — delivering custom concrete work that’s practical, built to last, and designed to elevate the character of a space. Whether paired with brick, timber, or steel, our concrete brings strength and style to every project.
