48 / BUILDING DIALOGUE / December 2020 Rich Simplicity: Light After Darkness Designer Approved 1.Ergon Stone Project: White Falda Off-white Italian porcelain tile with rectified edges and a sub- tle vein-cut texture create a simple but rich floor texture. The bigger the format the better! I always insist on 1/16” joints in order to reduce the chaos and create a more monolithic field. www.michaelmontorsi.com/ergon-stone-project-2/ 2. Benjamin Moore “Dove Wing 960” This white paint “color” is sublime. It is difficult to find a white that doesn’t carry an undertone of blue, yellow or green. Instead, this “Dove Wing” hue is reminiscent of nearly white limestone and never competes with other colors. www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your- color/color/960/dove-wing?color=960 Gillian Hallock Johnson Principal, Anderson Mason Dale Architects Moving toward 2021, I am intrigued with the reduction of chaos, creation of comfort, and finding solutions on how to recruit people back to the office. Reconsidering white as a symbolic starting point in a design has renewed signifi- cance. White is respect, rebirth, light and purity. As a calming and reflective background color, it is a pure stage upon which rich personalities of natural materials can perform their magic on our human senses.
