In the works...The Roundhouse at Beacon Falls

Lately, we've been busy at this historic site in Beacon, NY. 

It's an industrial complex that is being transformed into a boutique hotel. It will boast a luxury spa, restaurant, and an event space to accommodate 250 people. 

We've polished the existing concrete floors and now things are really getting going.

There are so many good things about this project. It's local, which we love. It's being built and run using green principles. It will also be partially powered by the falls, using an existing, refurbished hydroelectric plant. 

Not to mention the views...

In the works...Local Residence

We've mentioned that our finishing department resembles a spa (for concrete of course). This is what I mean...

These countertops are being ground to expose the glass and aggregate within them. A little exfoliation.

They start out all muddy and slushy, but then they're smooth, glowing, and gorgeous. You can tell they're happy, right? Sometimes I wonder what would happen if we wrapped them in seaweed.

By the way, we can make countertops in any color and mix glass, shell, or pretty much anything you can think of into them. 

The possibilities are endless. 

Done and Done...Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center

The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts has been undergoing a serious transformation for some time.

We've spent a lot of time at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, pouring approximately 5,000 square feet of custom colored concrete flooring, which was then polished. 

The Film Society of Lincoln Center will host the New York Film Festival here. Additionally, the two theaters will be used for new film releases as well as educational programs and lectures. Of course, it is a state-of-the-art theater, with special attention paid to acoustics and aesthetics.

Enjoy the Show(s).

In the works...Water Street

These photos are of the Residents' Lounge at 205 Water Street in Brooklyn. What you see here is the white base coat. 

The finish coat will be a grey microtopping.

 When it's finished, it should look like this. 

Lots to do...
