Challenges Met
Multiple transitions in exterior finishes and colors, and numerous architectural design challenges made this a challenging job for the various tradesmen and women. Construction was coordinated from the weather-resistive barrier, EPS and mesh/base coats creating the EIF system that was the canvas for the entire building. Adding the shapes with stone finishes, traditional plaster finish and the brick veneer in multiple varieties and patters made the finished product a work of art.
