There are a lot of ways to make a set of countertops interesting.  Elevation changes, integral drainboards, inlays.  We can pigment the concrete to achieve a very wide palette of colors.  The surface can be left as cast, ground smooth, polished, ground to expose decorative aggregate.  

We have collected a few examples that we hope will serve as a starting point for you and your own designs.  Please keep in mind, these are but a few examples.  We're always trying something new and the possibilities truly are endless!

Trivet

Slender bars of copper, brass, and steel in a random pattern evoke the playfulness of a game of pick-up-sticks.

Edge Inlay

Glass beads that have been cast in place are revealed in the edge of this countertop.

Cantilever

Reinforced with carbon-fiber, this counter cantilevers out unsupported for 18"

Integral Drainboard

A classic concrete countertop feature--a drainboard directs water back to the sink and in this case is lined with stainless bars to protect the counter from heavy pots and pans.

Cutting Board

A simple wooden cutting board embedded in the counter creates a nice little workspace to call home. It's easily removed for cleaning.

Fruit Dish

Fruit dishes are neat features. They can be nearly any shape and size.

Inlay

Granite is the inlay of choice in this counter. We can use anything that's hard--metal, plastic, stones, fossils, petrified wood. You name it.

Custom Inlay Insert

Or we can just make something to be inlaid. We cast these inserts out of plastic resin to accent a couple of seams. They were inlaid into the seams after installation.

Recessed Sink

This sink is mounted up from the bottom of the countertop slab. This gives the counter edge a finer line around the sink than the front edge. It's a simple detail that makes for subtle sophistication.
