We take a look at the design and construction of a temple in downtown Philadelphia that uses a stone from Stonington, ME, supplied by A. Lacroix Granit in Quebec, Canada. One of the biggest challenges of this project was the size of the building, the amount of stone needed and the location. “Building in a city is usually a very complex manor,” said Roger Jackson of FFKR Architects. “We were very fortunate to be working with a contractor from the city who does this all the time and didn’t blink.”
Within our quartz coverage, we have a project that uses HanStone to create a dream kitchen and bathroom. Architect and designer Vykintas Genys was allowed to be extremely creative with their design. “I like floating sinks and thought that this look is what will make the basket weave wall look like an art piece,” said Genys. “Not to stick just to esthetics but to add functionality, I designed storage drawer cabinets under the vanity sink.”
