The Dairy Block project in Denver, CO, features a distinct lobby design that merges contemporary aesthetics with lasting durability.  Colorado Hardscapes collaborated with McWhinney Development and Shears Adkins Rockmore Architects to craft an exceptional flooring solution using the Bomanite Modena SL system, tailored to achieve a dark, matte finish as envisioned by the client.

The design for this mixed-use hotel and office building called for a flooring system that would provide a rich, dark tone with a subtle, matte texture.  Bomanite Modena SL in Bomanite Charcoal Integral Color was selected for its ability to meet these requirements while offering depth and visual interest.  The grinding process was intentionally halted at a 200-grit level, exposing coarse aggregate and maintaining a matte appearance.  The floors were finished with a penetrating sealer, enhancing the durability while preserving the desired aesthetic.  During installation, zinc divider strips were incorporated to add clean, defined lines that enhanced the architectural design.  The exposed coarse aggregate added texture and contrast to the matte surface, elevating the overall look of the space.

The project team, including Shears Adkins Rockmore Architects, was highly satisfied with the final outcome, praising the striking look of the floor.  The success of this installation has led other designers to specify the same Bomanite Modena SL system, color, and finish for upcoming projects, highlighting its growing popularity.

The Dairy Block lobby showcases how Bomanite’s polished concrete solutions can be effectively tailored to meet specific design visions, resulting in a beautiful, durable flooring system that complements the building’s overall aesthetic.
