Concrete Countertops: Design Form and Finishes for the New Kitchen and Bath
Concrete Countertops: Design Form and Finishes for the New Kitchen and Bath
Click Here For More Detail
At first, the idea of using concrete for kitchen countertops has the same appeal as using cardboard boxes for cabinetry or dining on the floor. Naysayers are in for a surprise as architect Cheng elevates this pedestrian building material to a new level, using it to create beautiful and functional countertops. They are a far cry from rough sidewalks, having polished surfaces that can be colored or have interesting objects cast into them. Cheng shows the entire process: design considerations, mold-making, concrete selection, installation, and maintenance, all using straightforward instructions supplemented by excellent illustrations. Showing an innovative use of a common and inexpensive material, this title should be part of comprehensive public library home improvement collections.

"Concrete Countertops will give architects and builders the know how and confidence to draw and/or build what discerning homeowners are requesting in work surfaces these days. This is the tool they've been looking for to help bring their clients' concrete dreams into concrete reality!" --Sarah Susanka, author of The Not So Big House and Creating the Not So Big House "Over the past decade, the most requested article from our back issues has been about making concrete countertops. And more than anybody, Fu-Tung Cheng has been the innovator calling the public's attention to concrete as a material worthy of the finest interior detailing. This is the kind of book that will make you see a common material in a whole new way, and maybe even make you want to roll up your sleeves and play with it." Chuck Miller, Special Issues Editor, Fine Homebilding Magazine "This book celebrates the beauty of design drawn from nature.. Fu-Tung Cheng demonstrates that we can bring art and creativity back home in sustainable architecture that is both timeless and elegant." -----Alice Waters, Chez Panisse restaurant

Her book offers inspiration for renovators as well as new-home builders who want to capture the period's essence. -- The Houston Chronicle January 29, 2005, Saturday SECTION: STAR; Pg. 8This colorful book deals with all the essential bungalow elements: doors, windows, walls, trim, stairs and built-in furniture. -- Omaha World-Herald (Nebraska) February 3, 2005 SECTION: LIVING; Pg. 02E;
I wrote this book to show that there are many types of bungalows in America, not just the ones we tend to associate with Gustav Stickley--those with dark interiors and boxy furniture. Bungalows were designed for the middle class and the working class alike, and often reflect the tastes and budgets of the original homeowner. What you see inside the book are photos of homes lovingly renovated or restored by architects, interior designers, and even the homeowners themselves. The ideas presented are meant to inspire anyone who owns one of these quaint homes to think historic, but be creative when deciding to remodel or add on a new addition.
