Hunt Studios recently completed a project entailing the creation of a fireplace in beautiful
Brač limestone.
Often mistaken for marble, Croatian Brač limestone has been used for millenia in European building and also makes up the columns of the White House in Washington D.C. Using time-honored methods, Hunt Studios has taken the work through every stage of the process and we are proud to see off another finely crafted architectural treasure.
