Hi Camilla, we are considering building either the Laguna37 or the 34.
Do you have any more recent pics you could share?
Thanks again

We have a 40mm stone top, so was hoping we can do this...as per the manufacturers drawings.
I’ll ask if we can have the fixed panel as a removable fixed panel.

Do you know what builder/house that was in?
I’d be interested to see it in some more detail.
