This innovative use of terrazzo begins with four classic colors installed in three distinct areas of this new hotel. The reception area’s sophisticated marble aggregate mix includes 25-30 percent of number three chips and five percent of number four. In the lobby, the terrazzo craftsmen drew by hand a 500-square-foot grid for the precise hand-placement of the 8,000 brass rings in the floor. The epoxy was then poured in and around the two-inch-diameter rings. The pattern continues into the elevator cabs with the colors inverted.
