Richmond General Assembly Building

The new $200 million General Assembly Building in downtown Richmond carefully preserves local historic, 19th-century facades with new construction to provide offices, committee and public meeting rooms for the State Senate, House of Delegates and their legislative staff. A double-height elliptical lobby in the heart of the building is the stunning backdrop for a luxurious polished plaster finish by Manassas-based Senza Finé.

As part of the interior design by Glavé & Holmes, over 2,500 square feet of Armourcoat Spatulata polished plaster color-matched to natural marble, was hand-applied as panels and onto curved wall surfaces. Spatulata is superfine marble stucco paste developed from traditional materials, trowel applied in numerous fine layers by skilled applicators. The resulting highly polished decorative surface adds a touch of luxury to interior spaces.
