Arm rest is made by laying bricks and building up with mortar. The arm rest is my idea. It defines the seat as a window seat and not just a block of concrete trying to hide something. The "L" return on the arm rest adds lateral strength and serves for a drink holder. Seat and top of arm rest are troweled smooth. Left: A view from the seat. A great semi-private spot to sit in the summer.(or whenever) |

| This simple design has a story. Each square has a different
texture.

fascinated
by the interplay
orf the red and blue and the red and black with the yellow stucco in these projects which gave me the idea.(opens new window) |
Squares were made by masking tape on the brown coat. I
staggered the
overlap slightly to appear as overlapping squares and not a linear
arrow.
The
illusion of projection is to add depth to the wall. |

Finish mortar applied and tape pulled
off, leaving grooves. I originally was going to do a border with two squares but my design was edited by Roger to get rid of the border and add another square. My employees edited the design also. They re-taped the squares and made them thicker to add more depth. I came back the next day and mixed milestone to color the squares. |
