2021 became a year of renewal worldwide, so maybe it’s fitting that the Pinnacle Awards – showcasing the best of natural stone – are topped by a restoration project. The work at Wyoming’s state capitol won the Grande Pinnacle, but all of the honorees in the Natural Stone Institute’s annual awards are best-in-class in showing the quality and craft of work with granite, marble and other quarried materials. The Pinnacle Awards are given to projects whose beauty, creativity, ingenuity, and craftsmanship exemplify professional mastery in the use of natural stone in commercial and residential applications. The competition is open to all institute members and the design community, and project teams must include at least one institute member.
