What the material demands

1

Weight before elegance

The plate is three inches thick. No ornament survives that compression.

2

Five years of rain and salt air produce a surface no finish can replicate.

3

Ground reveals the form

We pour a twelve-ton concrete slab before any steel touches the ground.

4

Joints read as intention

Every edge condition is specified down to the chamfer.
