3 Private Residence in the Ozarks Residential Excellence What is the scope of the project? This recently completed private residence on the Lake of the Ozarks uses cast stone extensively throughout. Cast stone was chosen for a wide range of applications including: veneer; cornices; surrounds for doors, windows, and arches; keystones; large and small corbels; column caps; sills; and large ornamental details over the garage and entry.

4 Private Residence in the Ozarks Residential Excellence What is the role of Cast Stone? Cast stone elements enhance the overall design of the home and add tremendous character to the home's castle-like appearance. The cast stone highlights key features of the design and the smooth texture creates a nice contrast with the rough natural stone cladding. The color of the cast stone complements the stone cladding, while the subtle contrast still allows the cast stone to stand out.

5 Private Residence in the Ozarks Residential Excellence How was Cast Stone critical to the success of this project? Cast stone plays a critical role in establishing the character of the home. We worked closely with the builder and homeowners to select elements that would reflect the home's eclectic, whimsical style.

Millennium Park Peristyle Hardscape Excellence Skidmore Owens and Merrill (SOM), the original project architect, chose an imported French limestone because of its perceived higher quality and value.

Within 10 years of installation the limestone was noticeably failing and by 2016 donor names were becoming illegible.

28 Millennium Park Peristyle Hardscape Excellence Skidmore Owens and Merrill (SOM), the original project architect, chose an imported French limestone because of its perceived higher quality and value. Engraved into the tall, radial limestone base panels of the peristyle were the names of the principal benefactors of the park. Within 10 years of installation the limestone was noticeably failing and by 2016 donor names were becoming illegible. We were contracted to replace all of the limestone from the column bases down including; the radial base; tall radial panels; radial wall caps; radial fountain panels and coping; urn bases assemblies and urns; and light poles. The city recently initiated a fundraising campaign to fund future improvements in the park and when complete we will sandblast, into the tall radial panels, the names of both the original donors and the new donors. What is the scope of the project?

29 Millennium Park Peristyle Hardscape Excellence What is the role of Cast Stone? The role of cast stone was both to replace the failing limestone and to provide a suitable alternative. The observed durability of the cast stone used in the Park in the past coupled with the CSI ten year warranty gave the parks management the comfort level they needed to proceed.

stone to be a slightly different color than the limestone to avoid the appearances of a poor match.

30 Millennium Park Peristyle Hardscape Excellence How was Cast Stone critical to the success of the project? The cast stone could be manufactured to identically replicate the limestone it was replacing and demonstrated to the park s management that it was more durable than the limestone. Because cast stone is a molded product, and domestically produced, the construction schedule was measurably reduced when compared to using limestone. Given the different texture of the limestone, as a result of its failing surface, the architect wanted the cast stone to be a slightly different color than the limestone to avoid the appearances of a poor match. With cast stone, and utilizing iron oxide pigments, there is an almost unlimited ability to control the color of the cast stone, versus the very limited color options available in natural stone. As a result we were able to achieve the exact color the architect was looking for.

31 Millennium Park Peristyle Restoration Excellence Judges Comments Impressive how the cast stone is indistinguishable from limestone Large scale Blended pieces well color, etc. High degree of difficulty

35 Houston Marriott Marquis Hardscape Excellence How was Cast Stone critical to the success of the project? This hotel was built to be the headquarters for Super Bowl LI, held in Houston February Cast stone was selected over natural limestone for all of the complicated pieces because both the cost and lead time were significantly lower. The hotel was opened on time, less than a month before the Super Bowl. The pool coping molds were particularly difficult because the stainless steel Texas shaped pool basin was delivered at the same time the cast stone was required to be on site, so no field measurements were possible. Nearly two hundred different radiused molds were needed in the manufacturing of the cast stone.

The arched areas on the chapel were originally designed to be in pieces, however there were issues with attachment. These pieces were combined and fabricated on a compound radius. There was very little room for error mainly due to the fact that the false joints had to align. There are a wide variety of elements on the project that were made more complicated due to the difficulties of attachment. These areas were generally combined and made larger which helped the finished project but made our work more difficult. Manufacturing Excellence Award Winners
