Rugo has worked tirelessly to re-introduce Roman travertine to the DC market, after years of not being specified. Rugo worked closely with Gensler and our client James G Davis to locate a viable source in Tivoli Italy for the supply of Classic Roman travertine, which would meet the design intent for a vein-cut orientation, and open joint installation. The lobby and the exterior walls are clad with this famous stone material and provide an exquisite appearance for this new building’s distinctive appearance.
