Sink Inspiration

Every project has to have some inspiration to start. The following are a collection of pictures borrowed from various internet sites (Buddy Rhodes, Cheng) that inspired my design for the seemingly strange looking concrete sink.
This vanity was the model for the one I built under the sink, from Kerf. Our vanity originally started floating from the wall. After handling the 4-inch concrete sink, the resident structural engineer strongly suggested I provide some legs. Our vanity turned out very similar to the far one in the picture, six drawers that will be finished shortly with walnut panels.

A two faucet concrete sink draining to a single drain. Due to space constraints and storage issues, we needed two faucets but could only fit in one drain.

Since the sink will be pretty much all sink and no countertop, this sliding piece over the trough inspired me to try and integrate some removable flat countertop sections.
I originally thought about having solid top pieces, the slotted top in this picture changed my mind. Our drawer fronts will be walnut and the removable top will have several slotted pieces for extra flat space.
