I have to admit, when I first saw the cover photo of the booked-match slabs of Silver Stream marble, exclusively offered by Antolini, it was a jaw-dropping moment. While I have seen booked-matched slabs form shower and bathroom walls, floor-to-ceiling fireplaces and even used as an interior accent wall, I have never seen ones used so creatively as a striking headboard in a bedroom. This is a prime example of how the beauty of natural stone and its inherent qualities inspire unique and tantalizing designs. The application makes a dramatic statement in the room and elevates the level of sophistication. To read more about this luxurious marble, click to the Stone of the Month page.
Also in this month’s eMagazine, we feature the restoration and addition to Palisades Field House in Washington, DC. The building and its surrounding playgrounds were designated as historic landmarks and added to the DC Inventory of Historic Sites in 2016. For the recent addition, a natural slate rainscreen system was chosen to not only complement the original building, but to also provide the new structure with its own identity. It is another example of how a natural stone variety was the right choice for the design.
