Be the first to what Espresso + Plaster have in common when it comes to interior surface finishes = ?

And learn a little more about the exciting and vast world of Organic Plasters:

Yes Distinct Interiors is making 'it' on Broadway

...meaning we have been commissioned to create travertine wall panels, big panels 5' x 7'.
The project is at 601 Broadway, an 1970's office tower in need of an update to the interior of the lobby.
Since it needs to be marketable, meaning the buildings age can't be a deterrent to potential customers/lessors and it is important to be current in order to compete in the commercial rental business in Vancouver. Since it is a very competitive market place.

The existing Travertine is impossible to match from a quarry today

- therefore Distinct Interiors has been asked through the use of Lime Plasters to create a match.

Creating the border for detailing the arch.

Due to the height and two levels of the vaults. the moisture and drying temperatures varied - Intonachino in the process of drying.

Borders with Beeswax sealers, lending to a very organic and Islamic/Eastern appearance.

...Next: everything goes back in place, new carpets, lights and furniture.

The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games start in 2 days!
The pressure was on this past week to complete this contemporary mantle in time to entertain quests, mission accomplished.
