The stone was supplied by Polycor Granite Bussière, and there were a variety of factors involved in the selection. “There are many different reasons why a world-class architect like Richard Meier would choose San Sebastian,†said Clermont Perron of Polycor Granite Bussière. “The first is the beauty of San Sebastian. This gray, white and black granite has been described as noble, discreet, sophisticated and one with nature.â€
Another reason that the San Sebastian was chosen was because of its uniformity. The large size of the panels needed a consistent look that would not change drastically from the first panel to the last.
