Description:

“This successfully executed redevelopment project transformed an interior-focused public space into a bustling urban oasis. The distinctive plaza with its European sidewalk cafe-inspired atrium enlivens the business environment and adds value to the locale. The multicolor marble pieces were waterjet cut and mounted onto a mesh backing to create the patterned cobblestone-style Palladiana terrazzo paving. The floor was completed with epoxy terrazzo and zinc divider strips and finished to a muted 200-grit polish.” – National Terrazzo & Mosaic Association, Inc
