Flooring

Wilfred Kunze, Bob Markoff, Mike Murray, Ed Neddo, James Prophet, Bob Vancoillie - GA Masonry Corporation

Project: National Museum of the American Indian, Washington, DC
Architect: SmithGroup
General Contractor: Clark/TMR A Joint Venture
All the flooring is granite and curved throughout the building. All radii project from the center of the Potomac Room floor and the patterns are carried out on all floors. The granite pavers are a full inch thick, making the cutting and installation very labor intensive. The designers made the floor patterns continuous from the exterior to the interior – a cohesive touch rarely found in buildings today. Many of the multiple curved patterns continue to weave together into smaller circles, which required careful fabrication and skilled craftsmen on site to achieve.

Star Award Nominee

Wilfred Kunze, Bob Markoff, Mike Murray, Ed Neddo, James Prophet, Bob Vancoillie - GA Masonry Corporation

Project: National Museum of the American Indian, Washington, DC
Architect: SmithGroup
General Contractor: Clark/TMR A Joint Venture
The golden-toned Kasota is a dolomitic limestone from Minnesota that adorns the museum’s façade. Known for its varying texture, this stone was selected to evoke the feel of a natural rock formation sculpted over time by wind and water. Large “roughback” blocks form a rusticated 10-foot high base, which reinforces the image of the building emerging from the earth. No two stones are alike and expert craftsmanship was required to achieve this unique look due to the undulating curvilinear nature of the building façade.

Project: Georgetown University Central Plant Chiller Upgrade, Washington, DC
Architect: Martin Reddy Architects
Engineer: Mueller Associates, Inc.
General Contractor: The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company
This project included the demolition of two existing 3,000-ton chillers and the installation of three new 3,000-ton centrifugal duplex chillers. The schedule and coordination for this project were critical for the continued operation of the central plant which serves the entire campus. The size and amount of piping installed, the complexity of installations due to existing conditions, and the difficulty of scheduling and coordination are the factors that make this project second to none.
