Winner: Decorative Residential

This l

Ready-mixed concrete was used for the motor court panels and borders, two patios, the rear and front walkways, the house and barn porches, and the driveway borders and panels.

Creating an intentional sequence of experience from the point of entry along the driveway to the motor court, from the motor court along the front walk to the front porch, along the rear walk to the two patios, and from the motor court to the barn porch required attention to heated and unheated areas and multiple sequential flow lines.

Combining the colors, textures, and flexibility of ready-mix concrete with linear intentionality and destination definition creates an inviting, coherent, and elegant visual experience.

The complexity of the design, extensive use of borders, differences between heated and unheated areas, multiple flow lines, and the scheduling of multiple pours were the primary challenges.

Ready-mixed concrete accounted for 95% of the project and offered variety, flexibility, beauty, and sustainability, physically and visually improving the vehicular and pedestrian residential environment.
