The architect team walked around and looked for imperfections. I was a little bugged with some of the things they pointed out. It's a natural material, there will be imperfections! It was fascinating to me that they were able to keep the veins as they cut and placed the stones. These are the cutouts that created the pattern around the windows. I was able to take one!
