I. What is the scope of the project? This is a new private residence in Andover, KS. Cast stone is used throughout the project in a variety of applications, including a stepped wainscot, sills, transition band, pilaster and pier caps, coping, planter bowls, and a large fireplace.
II. What is the role of Cast Stone? The smooth cast stone contrasts with the rough natural stone used on the house. The light color of the stepped wainscot, sills, and band, create bold horizontal lines, which fits with the Prairie Style architecture of the house.
III. How was Cast Stone critical to the success of the project? The wainscot, and the simple, clean lines created by the sills and bands, are common elements in the Prairie Style of Frank Lloyd Wright. They are used to similar effect in this house, creating an aesthetic that is instantly recognizable. Wright’s influence extends to the house’s interior, where the fireplace is accented with geometric designs cast into large blocks that are reminiscent of his work in the Mayan Revival style. architect
