The lobby and reception areas of The Home Insurance Company consists of 1200 SF of 12 x 12" floor, base and column covers, all epoxy set and grouted with white Kerapoxy.
Upon entering the 12th and 13th floors of the high rise office tower, you are greeted with a beautiful Rio Green marble field floor tile with Mare Rosa Lavonto accent borders.
To create a unique look not often seen, 1" black feature strips and brass angles were inserted to further accentuate the borders. The striking design and contrast was achieved by using Black Absolute marble accent dots and border tiles. These feature strips, as well as the accent clipped corner diamonds, were all field cut adding to its superior craftmanship.
To give this project a special flare, contrasting brass trim was inserted to frame the columns and crisscross designs were added as a decorative accent.
The customer.
And he can fire everyone in the company,
from the chairman on down,
simply by
spending his money somewhere else.
