At 888 Grand Hope Park, Trademark created a new amenity space on top of an existing 8-story parking garage in downtown LA.  The deck consists of 15,300 SF of decorative concrete paving and 1,700 LF of curbs and walls.  The biggest challenge was constructing the CIP concrete benches and walls, as they were placed over foam, and the height and width of the battered walls varied constantly.

Penick collaborated on the design and installation of the splash pad with Aquatic Design Group and their inhouse mosaic artist.  The integrally-colored, quarried-stone finish concrete work and monolithically-embedded mosaic tile design reflect the pattern found on San Bernardino’s largest library, adjacent to the site.

This multi-faceted promenade extends two kilometers along the coast in Penang, Malaysia.  Decorative concrete treatments include a scalloped border separating the fishscale portion from the beach-like sandscape, circular seating, pedestrian walkways, a “Sunbird” feature, a sculpture base and a stylized conch shell under the pergola.

The objective was to convert a heavily wooded side yard of this A-frame mountain house into usable space that blended with local nature.  The patio features a center firepit, hanging swing, enough landscape lighting to confuse the local airport (the contractor’s opinion), and a concrete combination of a wide wood plank pattern with a unique river rock pattern to add visual interest.

Multiple finishes were employed to complement and enhance the Moorish Islamic architecture of the buildings, which are interconnected with walkways and driveways.  Fountains in the courtyards are covered with exposed aggregate in black and golden-brown pebbles.

This splashpad features Sundek products in an array of colors and patterns. It was designed to mimic the swamps of Louisiana with stars reflected in the water.  The design consists of fourteen custom colors, 400 stars, six “constellations,” three template trees, four colors on the “grass” area, and a four-color template moon.

Sundek was given four days to complete this 13,000 SF hardscape.  On Monday four crews worked all day on prep.  Tuesday, they applied the base coat and prepared the hand-taped design.  On Wednesday, the Sundek Classic Texture system and base colors with three-color aggregate effects were applied.

This glue-covered, plain gray, front porch was converted into a focal point with less than $500 worth of materials.  The owner gave Intricate Concrete creative license to use a concrete overlayment to simulate a wood plank entry.

The owner chose durable and LEED friendly polished concrete for the common areas and corridors.  To add another layer of dimension, and to enhance the overall theme, stained lines were included in the finish.

The flatwork contractor for this garage had burned the concrete with his trowel machine, leaving behind unsightly black marks.  The owner hoped they could somehow be incorporated into the finished product.
