"We tried to use the stone in a creative way by using different sizes and textures to achieve a rich lobby," said Designer Sterling Little of WDG. HABIB Architecture in Dallas, TX, who worked along with Design Principal David Habib. The firm collaborated on the project with Oz Architects of Denver, CO.
The designer explained that a combination of three types of granite - Mystic Mauve, Dakota Mahogany and Absolute Black - was implemented in the floor design. "Mystic Mauve [with a polished finish] was the main stone and the others were used as accent [pieces]," said Little. According to the designer, Mystic Mauve with a polished finish was also used for the lobby walls in some areas, while the same material with a flamed finish was employed for the walls in other areas.
