With the creation of The Sanctuary, the natural stone centerpiece of a wildlife refuge in rural northwestern Illinois, an 1,800-acre parcel of land is secured for generations to come.
Stone is a high-end building material that can substantially add to the cost of a project. With the help of chemical sealers, the durability of the stone is ensured, and the beauty of the work is preserved.
Slate was the material of choice for a private residence in Sebastopol, CA, an influence the homeowner picked up from memories of the Baltimore home in which he grew up.
For the flooring in the new sanctuary at The Church of the Apostles in Atlanta, GA, Vermont natural green slate provided durability as well as an inviting atmosphere.
