Higher Education Complex | Cast Stone as Primary Wall and Accent Material for Grand Foyer

Cast Stone used as Transition Material on Building Exterior

Cast Stone Provided Partitions to Windows, Created Main Door Entry

Higher Education Complex | PBK Architects | Masonry Contractor: Tim Hughes, Dee Brown

This project consists of a mix construction of masonry, steel, and glass. Precast was used as the accent material for the exterior of the building and was the primary wall and accent material for the grand foyer which carried-out the contemporary and light feel for the building. The interior foyer was required to have less texture and a very white appearance. Separate formulas were used to achieve the required visual effect. See more on this…

PROJECT: 714 Main St | AAS Technology for Custom Mold Making | Batch System for Consistent Color, Finishes

714 Main St | Cast Stone for Building Exterior | Quality Experience, Desired Colors and Finish | Cost Effective Solution

Seamless Exterior Effects of Cast Stone Color Matching | Precision Mold Making

714 Main St | Cast Stone Matched Colors of Dark Terracotta Stone

714 Main Street/XTO Building is located in an established downtown area of Ft. Worth with other historical buildings. This project was a restoration of the historic office tower. The original exterior of the building was designed using terracotta stone and other materials. AAS team matched the colors of terracotta and helped the architect revise the exterior of the building lower floors such that the entire building exterior looks seamless in color and finish. The design and casting of roman soldier heads use the unique mold making ability of the Advanced Architecture Stone. See more on this project…

Cooks-Childrens-Hospital-Cast-Stone-Exterior-Blended-Seamlessly-With-Other-25-Year-Older-Buildings-Color-Matched-Consistently-and-Precisely

This project was originally scoped “to match existing”; therefore the new addition was specified as native limestone. When bids for the exterior cost of the hospital were analyzed, the cost of limestone cladding was approximately $ 4 million in excess of budget. The project was placed on hold. Advanced Architectural Stone (AAS) proposed formulating a batch design for its cast stone that coordinated with the existing limestone on the original structure. Cast stone reduced the budget for the building significantly. As the general contractor said, the precast substitution allowed the budget constraints to be met with a structure that is visually the same as the older existing structure. The detailing for the project required a monolithic look. The detailing required adherence to consistency. The uniqueness was in the execution of the manufacturing process.

AAS Project: TCU_Worth Hills | Cast Stone, Architectural Precast | Special Mold Design for Large Radial Pieces in Breeze Way

Custom Color Matching with Cast Stone Blended in with the Campus

Texas Christian University | Cast Stone Covered Walkways on a Compound Radius Required Precision in Mold Design

TCU Worth Hills | Customized Pink Colors | The Entire Exterior of the Building is Created using Cast Stone except for the Brick Work

This is a new series of buildings on a university campus that will be used for housing, dining, and meeting spaces. The entire exterior of the building is created using cast stone except for the brickwork. The pink color shades in the cast stone are to match with the rest of the campus buildings that have exterior with similar colors. The four-story arched breezeway used special design elements. The radius panel pieces at the breezeway, because of size, required special mold design and casting techniques. Learn more about this project…

Each building has its unique characteristics, but there is an overall campus approach to the area. See custom color in cast stone for this project…

Color consistency was a challenge on this project. The project color was heavily pigmented and dark. AAS team worked with raw material suppliers to achieve a very specific color required for cast stone in this project. Several batch designs were reviewed in order to produce a color that did not vary. Read more about this project…

St Peters Anglican Church | Architectural Stone Cladding using Custom Color Stone

This cathedral style church is 36,000 square feet. The building is constructed of native stone, cast stone, and GFRC. Cast stone is the primary design element of the project. The building also has three 100 foot high bell towers, 24 spires, 7 crosses and two 12 panel precast rose windows. The project required the production of 68 molds not including many block-downs and mold adjustments. There were 4858 pieces of architectural cast stone or GFRC used on the project. The mix designs were complicated since both dry and wet product was used; however, the visual appearance of both products was required to be the same. A special design mix for the wet cast product was developed for a seamless visual appearance match. Read more about this project…
