LAS VEGAS — The use of natural stone in a Manhattan lobby garnered the top honor of the 2019 Pinnacle Awards from the Natural Stone Institute.
Veronafiere’s Chiara DeLuca, Steven Falk of Stone Truss Systems (accepting the Grande Pinnacle for Pei Cobb Freed & Partners) and 2019 Natural Stone Institute president Greg Osterhout.Pei Cobb Freed & Partners in New York received the 2019 Grande Pinnacle Award during the institute’s award ceremony here late last month during The International Surface Event (TISE).
The award for 7 Bryant Plaza came as one of 22 projects noted with the Pinnacle’s Award of Excellence.
The detailed stone-clad lobby for 7 Bryant Park, a 30-story office building in midtown Manhattan, echoes an exterior conical motif through the arrangement and detailing of the stone elements. Mocha Crème limestone is used for the walls and Moleanos limestone for the floors, with accents of Calacatta Caldia marble and Jet Mist granite.
Limestone was chosen as the primary stone for its warmth, richness, and light tone, with richly grained white marble and black granite adding contrast.
