2008 Scofield Decorative Concrete Awards

Due to the size of this project, the flatwork had to be poured in many stages. The numerous structural elements made it necessary to incorporate borders for expansion joints. Some of the job was poured on engineered pan decks and some on grade. All of the pattern layouts were done in advance incorporating the control joints and expansion joints into the patterns. The control and expansion joints were filled and sanded to match the grouted joints. Forming and finishing the main staircase was particularly challenging as it had close to 1,000 linear feet of cantilevered stair nosing. The color was achieved with three colors of LITHOCHROME® Color Hardener - Weathered Sage, Sandstone Beige and Slate Gray. LITHOTEX® Pavecrafters® Ashler Stone embossing skins were used for the concrete imprinting. The entire project was sealed with CEMENTONE® Clear Sealer.

The monument/wall caps, pool/spa coping, main pool/spa decks and patio areas were sand washed finishes. The barbeque countertops, hearth, mantle, fireplace top and wood storage tops were hard trowelled finished. All control joints and decorative joints were saw-cut.

LITHOCHROME® Tintura™ Stain and LITHOCHROME® Chemstain® Classic were used to achieve deep, rich colors for this Concrete Carpet. The floor was originally painted, so it was decided to ground and polish the floor to 180 grit. After achieving a smooth and fresh palette, a stencil was used and Tintura colors were applied using an HVLP gun and airbrush. Then by using a resist method we sealed the Tintura with SCOFIELD® Selectseal-W™, and then applied Chemstain in Padre Brown and Copper Patina. We then framed it in with a 2" Dark Walnut border in Chemstain. The rest of the floor was stained with the Chemstain using Weathered Bronze, Padre Brown, and Dark Walnut.

The beautiful color palette for this remotely located project was achieved using ten colors of LITHOCHROME® Tintura™ Stain sealed with SCOFIELD® Selectseal-W™. Five of the ten colors were blends of two or more colors to create a close match to the rendered design. The patterns were digitized to stencils that were traced to the floor and scored using a 4" grinder.

LITHOCHROME® Chemstain® Classic was used to create this custom design for both the floor and countertop. Padre Brown, Antique Amber, Copper Patina, and Weathered Bronze were used in pure, blended, diluted, and layered techniques to achieve the look we desired while working directly with the owner.

A new front entrance was created for this residence using a stone textured border surrounding a field of wood plank textured concrete. The concrete was integrally colored with CHROMIX® Admixtures for Color-Conditioned® Concrete in Stone Gray and the wood planking pattern was hand brushed with several colors of LITHOCHROME® Tintura™ Stain to complement the new front door. Fiber optic concrete lighting was added to the front step to create a really unique look to the entrance. The objective for this residential project was to completely transform the front, side and rear of the home into an incredible outdoor entertainment and living area. We tried to maintain a harmony from the front of the house, all the way around to the back.

Over fifty yards of concrete in footers, steps, walkways and patio made a long hard journey up the hill during the months of construction. Scofield's Tintura Stain, CHROMIX Admixtures, LITHOTEX® Pavecrafters® textures and sealers were used in all of the various techniques.

Pier 86 was designed to meet the demands of a functional naval pier as well as create a premier public open space serving one of the most visited museums in New York City. Distinctive and durable pavements were key in realizing a striking, versatile destination along this revitalized midtown waterfront. The pattern of the cast-in-place concrete pavement utilizes colors and forms which relate to the dynamic flight deck of the Intrepid. The colors used here in the design were two different shades of gray CHROMIX® Admixtures for Color-Conditioned® Concrete. The dual grays complement each other and offer exceptional contrast. Color matched LITHOCHROME® Colorwax™ ensured that colors were maintained and achieved.
