The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) decided to sell their downtown Silver Spring, MD location that had served as its headquarters and chose to relocate to Old Town Alexandria. Overlooking the Potomac River this 10,000 square-foot space was constructed of concrete, which fit perfectly with Winstanley Architects and Planners award-winning design intent. This impressive office space is to house 26 employees: the engineers, architects, education and advocacy professionals who provide services to the concrete industry.
From the moment you enter the reception lobby a stunning coffered ceiling plastered Honed in Armourcoat Koncrete, immediately catches the eye. This custom tinted Honed Koncrete is a natural lime and marble polished plaster, beautifully hand-troweled over 4,700 square-foot of the office space. As part of the interior design by Winstanley, the intent was to give the walls an industrial concrete-type look. The skilled artisans at Senza Fine’ utilized over 3,600 feet of artistic tape and 2,200 one-inch round stencils and with meticulous placement, impeccable timing and patience were able to deliver just that.
