The dramatic, semi-circular design of the residence presented unique challenges in stone fabrication and installation. The flooring is Versailles Pattern honed Beaumanniere Limestone,which was precision-cut to follow the room’s radius. To fit the curved walls, each piece of limestone base molding was adding to the scope of work and ultimate beauty of the ground from the back. The kitchen counters, radius bar, and fireplace of Celadon Granite were book-matched to enhance their harmony within the stainless steel and lacquered Pearwood surround.
Judges' Comments:
"An outstanding example of precision fabrication and installation of a complex project"…"The excellent installation of the floor and radius base further enhances Malibu Art's attention to detail"…"Design and execution appear to be flawless."
