Durango Rojo ImperialTM red Mexican travertine provided a striking look for the exterior of a new commercial building set in Rancho Bernardo - an upscale corporate area of San Diego, CA. The unique color of the travertine - complemented by a bluish/gray limestone trim - established a distinctive tone for the four-story structure that sits atop the hillside, with panoramic views of nearby mountains and valleys.
"As far as the building itself, we wanted to create a fairly simple design, but with a lot of interest in the stone," said Project Architect Robert Bodenhamer of Vasquez + Marshall & Associates in San Diego, who worked on the project along with Principal-in-Charge Michael Marshall. "We also wanted a timeless stone."
