The
design intent of the architect was to create a spacious shower/steam
room, using native materials, that would allow the beautiful
rolling hills of Northern New Mexico to become part of the space.
The material used was Scheherazade travertine, vein cut, filled
and honed. The designer required the entire job to be book matched,
which given the space and the patterning of the material required
extensive planning and precise cutting to accomplish.
Judges
Comments: We liked the use of local material. The book matching
was very unusual and the basket weave pattern on the floor was
very effective. A very nicely done job that achieves the designer’s
objective.

The
owners wanted an Old World appearance with copper accents incorporated
into the project. They also wanted the buffet peninsula accented
from the main kitchen countertops. The counter tops and backsplashes
are Juperana Classico, the flooring is tumbled cross-cut Noce
Travertine and the stair treads, risers and stringers are honed
Durango Limestone. The copper accents were adhered and screwed
to the walls prior to installing the stone with its broken joints.
Judges
Comments: The broken and reassembled slabs accented with the
copper inserts was a very unusual concept and refreshingly different.
The stone compliments the wood work and the design is appropriate
for the environment.

The museum building is the largest of its kind in the Southeast.
The stone work covers more than 100,000 square feet and consists
of thermal Green County Granite, variegated Indiana Limestone
and Georgia White Marble. Impressive 20-foot high round granite
columns grace the main entrance with 40-foot high columns complementing
the domed area. The entire exterior is limestone and granite,
including many radius pieces. The exterior landscaping features
paving of limestone and granite and 300 lineal feet of granite
benches.
Judges
Comments: This is a job that every stone person would want to
do. Every component of the fabrication, both heavy and delicate,
is very nicely detailed and the radius work on the rotunda is
a fine example of excellent craftsmanship. This is a grand museum,
strong but not overstated.

The
building is a large facetted, rock-like structure clad in 40,000
square feet of Granite Acajou panels and referred to as “The
Geode”. It is comprised of nine surfaces at several different
angles intersecting each other. There are several skylights
and 12” skylight strips intersecting the surfaces. Wind
loads, snow loads, deflection of the structure, and construction
loads all needed to be considered in designing the granite panels
and connections.
Judges
Comments: This was a very unusual job for a client with a vision.
The glass used as stone, wrapping through the building is beautifully
done. A very detailed and challenging design and engineering
project.

The
stone used on both the exterior and interior walls and floors
is honed Classic Travertine and honed Noce Travertine. Radiused
stone was used on both the interior and exterior serpentine
walls of the piano-shaped entrance pavilion. The architectural
design included solid stone at interior corners, an elliptic-shaped
grand staircase, solid stone door jambs at courtroom entrances,
solid panned stone sills, honey combed stone panels at exit
doors, 40-foot high cladded columns and hardscape solid bollards
and mow strips. The travertine has a total of 17 Federal seals
in sizes ranging from 18 inches to 16 feet in diameter carved
in bas-relief and accented with 24 carat gold leaf.
Judges
Comments: The simplicity of the curved wall is elegantly understated
while the more mundane parts of the structure are treated beautifully.
The radius-cut travertine is integrated inside and out and flows
and melds very nicely.

The
chapel is the last of over 60 chapels and oratories constructed
in the Basilica over the last 70 years. The previously unfinished
space held a Portuguese Limestone statue of Mary and the Infant
Jesus, sculpted by Theodore Barbarossa. The space was designed
to be consistent with the Byzantine Romanesque character of
the Narthex of the Upper Church. Book matched polished Botticino
Classico was used for the wall cladding. A contrasting marble,
matching one of the columns in the Upper Church, was used for
the polished and book matched vertically fluted background for
the statue. The marble was the last of four Skiros Nicol blocks
and was also used for the turned and tapered columns flanking
the statue. The polished marble bases and architraves of the
columns were fabricated from Botticino Fiorito and support an
illuminated domed ceiling feature above the statue.
Judges
Comments: This is a well done, well executed beautiful job and
the carving and capitals show exquisite craftsmanship. This
was an installation challenge that was masterfully completed.

The
Grand Mosque is the central place of worship in the Sultanate
of Oman and is also a center for Islamic culture, civilization
and literature. With the Main Prayer Hall, a separate hall for
women, and the exterior spaces, the mosque can accommodate over
20,000 worshipers, making it one of the largest in the world.
Marbles used throughout the complex include Travertine Navona,
Classico, Nocce and Persiano. Fabrication of the mosaic panels
was done in a studio in Bahrain especially built for this construction.
The panels included stones in green, beige, orange, brown, mahogany,
while and yellow sourced from India, Italy, Spain and Oman.
Judges
Comments: This project was absolutely stunning. All the materials
were used in the appropriate place for the right reasons. It
was a very challenging installation and coordinating the fabrication
of the panels, pavers and mosaics was a monumental task.
