95 State Street Stonework Receives 2022 Pinnacle Award

The 95 State Street lobby features 220’ long marble walls that stretch over 40’ high and maintain a continual linear veining pattern across all courses. Before a single stone was fabricated, it had already been assigned a specific location on the wall to ensure vein alignment over both concave and convex curvatures and recessed walls.

Through value-engineering, KEPCO+ was able to decrease the specified stone thickness by 2 cm and re-engineer the attachment system to accommodate open joints while utilizing back anchors on the thinner stone The underlayment was then painted black to add visual depth. In addition to the 8900 SF of white marble used on the lobby walls, the project also features 13000 SF of black granite flooring, creating a striking visual contrast. Completed in December of 2021, the project stands as a testament to what can be accomplished through the trusting collaboration of stone professionals.
