"The overall design goal was to develop a signature class mixed use office/retail project, which would enhance the continued redevelopment and activity in downtown Ft. Lauderdale," said Lauren Ronat, senior interior designer at Cooper Carry.
Both the exterior and interior of the building feature granites chosen to portray an upscale environment. A total of 4,953 square feet of granite was used, including Coral Gray and Carioca Gold -- supplied by International Marble & Granite, Inc. of Shawnee Mission, KS -- and Blue Pearl GT, supplied by Opus Stone, Inc. The stone was fabricated by Granicor of Quebec, Canada. "We chose granite for its strength, durability and easy maintenance," said Ronat.
