Home » An international collection of stonework in Sao Paulo
The task of coordinating the stonework for the project was handled by the LuxStone Group, which controlled and supervised the job. To meet the design goals of Collaço & Collaço Arquitetura, natural stone was shipped in from Italy, Greece and Spain. A total of 130,000 square feet of flamed Gegrege granite was specified as exterior cladding. On the building itself, the granite was specified as geometric panels with simple modern detailing. This was complemented by modern glasswork. The granite was also used for “showcase†exterior elements such as a large fountain.
Inside the building, the stone usage shifts to marble, with polished beige, tan and red varieties used for the floors, walls and columns. Virtually all of the flooring inside the facility - from the main lobbies to the entrances and elevator lobbies - was custom cut for the project, and it features a circular pattern. The stone for this design, which was conceived by Collaço & Collaço Arquitetura, was cut with computer numerically controlled (CNC) technology. To program the CNC machinery prior to fabrication, LuxStone's engineers had to adapt the architects' drawings into the proper language for programming the processing unit.
