Why Concrete?
Concrete is an extraordinary material…
Concrete is an ideal medium to express relationships between art and craft, between architecture and contracting. Concrete is practical, expressive, and aesthetic all at once. From a primal and formless slurry, concrete can be trasformed into virtually any shape that becomes a solid mass. The possibilities for creative expression are endless. Concrete can be polished, stamped, stained or any of the combination. You can embed meaningful objects within it.
Concrete has substance and mass, permanence and warmth. It feels earthy, and is at home in both traditional and modern settings. It assumes forms that irrevocably touch our daily lives: bridges, highways, floors, walls… even countertops. Concrete is also surprisingly tactile. Cast and shaped, it can feel like stone rounded by the sea. Textured and colored, it can echo the patina of timeworn tile.
It first occurred to me to make a countertop out of concrete in 2009, when a friend and I were hired to design and renovate a relators house in my hometown. He gave us a modest budget and said, “This is what I can afford to spend; do whatever you want.” Armed with this rare creative license (and plenty of youthful exuberance) we aimed to be as innovative as possible.
This invitation to imagine, play, and explore inevitably led me to experiment in my own kitchen, where concrete and I became close friends. Armed with a fine arts background and lots of design energy, I channeled my creativity into the countertop and our custom residential design work. Our portfolio includes kitchen and bath designs. Concrete is our material of choice because its utility and durability are matched by its sculptural sensitivity. Hands-on experience has taught me and my team how to simplify the process and control the variables that affect the finished product. The malleability of this material make it a perfect choice for any countertop.
Because of its adaptability, concrete finds itself welcome in all areas of the home, especially in the kitchen and bath, but also in fireplaces, patios, garden paths, or water features. Concrete can also be used as a floor material with enormous creative advantages whether seeded, stained, stamped, broomed or diamond-finished. It can be a sole performer or play the supporting role to tile, mosaics, decorative aggregates, stone, wood, or metal. It is inexpensive, durable, noncombustible and impervious to decay.
There are so many different styles for edging of the countertops. Almost endless….
It’s well known by now that concrete has become a material that homeowners and designers are requesting and weaving into their homes, offices, retail outlets, restaurants, etc., in the most amazing ways. But leading the charge in the concrete craze are concrete countertops.
