Granite sink - help

I visited a restaurant in Minnesota where the restroom were located at the end of this hallwall and served the woman's and men's room which were located to right and left of this sink. The "sink" was on a cabinet and the faucets were in the wall. What was unusual about the sink is that it was actually a slab of granite tilted slighty toward the back wall. The faucets protruded far enough from the wall that the water hit the sink near the slope so it ran down the drain. It was the coolest design. Unfortunately no one could tell me how this design was achieved. Anyone know the restaurant or know how I can do this in my bathroom? My pet peeve about bathroom sinks is that when you wash splash water on your face, the water runs down your arms and lands outside the sink. The whole counter top gets wet...anyone know any good trough ideas to share where the sink won't cost me a whole paycheck?

I am very surprised that they would design a sink with granite. Granite is very porous. It does not do well with constant water. I know a few people that have a big crack in the granite around the kitchen sink. Including me.

Most of these commercial and better quality sinks made of granite are factory sealed using products that last a very long time. Also the quality of the granite used tends to be much more dense than the lower cost slab products you would see when doing counter tops. There are restoration products that often can fix and successfully almost hide granite cracks such as you say you have. Its a special epoxy mixed on site with coloring agents and powders that blend into the surface of the stone. Do some research on these products and suppliers locally in your area if your looking to get this fixed.
