OUTSTANDING  CONCRETE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Presented  to
Spencer Residence
Greenwood, Indiana

The  Indiana Ready Mixed Concrete Association (IRMCA) presented the 2009 Outstanding  Concrete Achievement Awards for projects in the State of Indiana on January 19,  2010 at the Indianapolis Marriott North at Keystone at the Crossing in  Indianapolis, Indiana.

In  the category of Concrete Residential Projects: Patterned/Decorative, one of the  winners is the Spencer Residence located in Greenwood, Indiana.

The  project team for the Spencer residence includes Duke Homes, Visions in  Hardscapes, and the ready mix producer: Irving  Materials, Inc.

The  $6 million dollar home is a showcase for the use of concrete as a high end  finish. The project required designing and problem solving to figure out the  elevations and grading of the site to transition around the home. It consists  of walkways from the drive to the front entrance, as well as around the entire  home: intricate stamped steps and landings lead down to a pool deck, three  patios, a 20’ diameter fire pit, a 30’ x 16’ bridge, 130 steps from the upper  terrace to the lower level pool deck, a large pool deck, 2’ wide removable  panels over the pool cover, as well as a 3100 sq. ft. driveway featuring a 5’  diameter compass. There were multiple integral colors, stamps, and releases  used on the job. It consisted of more than 10,000 sq. ft. of integral colored  concrete.  With the use of the integral  colored and stamped concrete, they were able to provide a consistent theme to  encompass the home’s hardscapes in decorative concrete.
