Natural stone took center stage of a 10,000-square-foot residential design in Fox Chapel, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh. A regional material was the product of choice, and a visit to the quarry sparked ideas that transpired to its extensive use for exterior applications – resulting in a stunning and sustainable design that has caught the attention of many passersby.

A recent renovation to Founders Hall, located on the campus of Naugatuck Valley Community College (NVCC) in Waterbury, CT, was a collaborative effort between school administration, the design team, and additional stone industry professionals.
