2011 Masonry TEAM Award
Oaks Residence
There are not too many single family homes that necessitate more than 2,000 stone fabrication tickets. But then, there are not too many single family homes that can match up to the Oaks residence: 29,000 square feet of Classic Italian Palladian Architecture on a six and one half acre site. And the design and use of masonry continues out to the lot lines. There were a number of excellent single family homes in this category, all with distinctive design and use of masonry. But the Oaks residence is VERY special and in a class by itself.
The more than three ton kneelers at the pediments are each 5x4x4 feet each with an exceptionally intricate design. With over 18,000 cubic feet of cut stone, the Oaks residence is considered to be the largest cubic cut stone job in the Southwest. The limestone throughout the property is M4 Buff, extracted from the fourth level of the quarry.
