At Harbor Place in Stamford, Connecticut, Beyond Concrete was tasked with transforming the lobby entrance into a bold, modern space that would make a lasting impression. The primary goal was to create an eye-catching, distinctive lobby design that would enhance the aesthetic appeal of the building. The project involved using Bomanite’s Custom Polishing System, Modena TG, in a striking black and white zebra pattern, achieving both functionality and style.
One of the key design requirements was to develop a lobby that would stand out while meeting the client’s vision of a modern, sleek entrance. The design team opted for a bold zebra pattern, which was brought to life with the Modena TG system. This system provided a polished finish using larger aggregates, adding texture and depth to the floor, while also ensuring the durability needed for a high-traffic area like a lobby.
The installation of the floor presented some challenges. Custom templates and aluminum divider strips were manufactured specifically for this project to achieve the precise zebra pattern. Managing access during the installation was also tricky, as elevators on both sides of the lobby had to be shut down temporarily. Despite these challenges, the project was completed on time, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the general contractor, building owners, and the team at Beyond Concrete.
In terms of outcomes, the project exceeded the owner’s expectations, earning praise for its unique and polished look. Additionally, the project garnered industry recognition, winning the 2009 Gold Award for Best Polishing Project, a prestigious accolade that highlights the quality of craftsmanship involved.
The Modena TG system was not only chosen for its aesthetic appeal but also for its durability and low maintenance. Based on prior installations, the team knew that the system would provide long-lasting results, making it an ideal choice for the busy lobby environment.
From an impact perspective, the tenants at Harbor Place have responded positively to the new lobby design, with many noting the fresh and modern feel of the space. This successful transformation demonstrates the power of innovative design and quality materials in creating a welcoming and lasting impression for building occupants and visitors alike.
