“The Capitol view corridor and a tight site severely limited the scale of this office building and drove a conservative budget. In the shadow of the Capitol, however, we still wanted a granite-like finish. Only 16x24 Featherlite Terrazzo Burnished Masonry Units gave us that look and scale cost-effectively. We just smile now when people compliment the “granite” walls. — Ed Reh, AIA, Austin
