In the Works...Steeplechase Plaza

Either we have a thing for carousels or they have a thing for us. We pour concrete around the bottom of them to give the horses solid footing, and then stand back to watch the inevitable magic happen.

For this Coney Island project (yes, this Coney Island), GRS poured a new concrete slab in a custom color

and then we polished it.

The B&B carousel at Steeplechase Plaza is due to open this season. You can find out more about the project here. Also, this explains the significance of the carousel and has a quick video of the restoration process.

Done and Done...River House

This is the coolest kind of farmhouse. 

 This modern homestead, built on a 90-acre farm overlooking the Hudson River, was designed by Basil Walter Architects (BWA).

Located in Coxsackie, NY, it is primarily a mixture of wood and concrete. Clearly we're responsible for the latter. 

Get Real poured and burnished the concrete flooring throughout this light-filled residence. Burnishing concrete gives it a more muted finish, in contrast to diamond polishing, which has a more high gloss sheen. 

 We precast the fireplace and log holder in the main living area...

and troweled a water resistant, concrete finish onto the bathroom walls.

Additionally, this residence boasts geothermal wells and rooftop solar panels, making it modern, efficient, and clean, in more ways than one.
