Meet owner and founder Ed Westbrook, discovered early in his career by legendary landscape architect Lawrence Halprin, whose work has shaped landscapes for the Haas family, Larry Ellison, and other notable clients. Wander among full-scale mockups, rare stone blocks imported from quarries around the world, and the largest CNC stone-carving machine in North America — all mid-fabrication. It's a chance to connect with fellow architects and designers while exploring the craft, scale, and artistry behind stone as a building material. Lunch included. Join us and get inspired.
