Architectural:  Set white marble stone with veining with polished and flamed finishes, all in the Loggia, for ceiling cladding, pilasters, walls, fluted columns and entablatures.  Cut 4x4x16 concrete block down to 4×12 and laid it as veneer for the art gallery in 1998.  It was later faux painted to match the brick on the residence.
