Lauren Rubin | Lauren Rubin Architecture | Ocean Blue Evocative of an abstract, natural water color conceived in the desert, varied, dramatic striated patterning ranging from light cream to varied shades of beige and grey, accented with pewter and blue-grey tones, in a linear vein cut travertine, revealing the natural sedimentary layers visible in the quarry face. The inherent holes in this travertine are filled, and then the stones surface is honed to a smooth texture. In a rectangular format. Off-set the large bricks for a more traditional look, or stack them for a more contemporary aesthetic.
