A luxury retail store like Whatne, on Sunset Strip in Beverly Hills, demands only the best in design features. So Regis D'Agostin selected a stone called Porto Beige from Portugal and Eros Marble from Greece to design and create the features and fireplace. His system of anchorage for the key stone was perfect and has already resisted one major earthquake.

Further details

New York-based architect Stephen Seigel and his crew selected D'Agostin for this luxury retail store project, a decision the stone consultant embraced because of the opportunity to use his creativity.

D'Agostin designed the stone facade, selected the Portuguese limestone, corresponded with local fabricators (GNG), put the cutting list together, then selected, recruited and supervised a team of 15 local stone installers, including one sculptor and six stone setters.

It is my distinct and most sincere pleasure for me to write about my association with Regis D'Agostin. We were first acquainted in 1988 when he was the stonemason in charge of the limestone work on construction of my personal residence in Beverly Hills, California. Since that time we have worked together on many projects where limestone was used as the primary finish, both exterior and interior uses were employed, and I am able to say that I have never been disappointed with his work.

His abilities and craftsmanship are unmatched. He has done everything from consulting on the initial design and following up with the preparation of cutting lists, stone counts, coordination and oversight of the fabrication and the ultimate installation.

Regis is someone I have used on several projects, and he will always be my first choice when it comes to stone work on any of our future projects. Accordingly, I have no reservations to recommend Mr. D'Agostin for stonework.

Sincerely,
