Cheng Concrete has reinvented its annual concrete design challenge with the first contest of a new series — the Kitchen & Bath Concrete Maker Challenge. The company announced the 2013 winners in November.
The Concrete Challenge was open to any concrete maker, either do-it-yourselfer or professional, with a kitchen or bath project made with any of the following Cheng mix products: Countertop Pro-Formula, NeoMix Original, or D-FRC.
The People’s Choice Award Winner was selected by the voting public, while the Fu-Tung Cheng Award Winner was chosen by Fu-Tung Cheng, founder of Cheng Concrete and Cheng Design.
Cheng picked Jonathan Seaman’s Integral Guitar Sink as the Fu-Tung Cheng Award Winner. Made for a music venue, the Guitar Sink has a bowl in the shape of a guitar and utilizes a custom-fabricated, retro-style microphone as a faucet fixture. Crafted with Cheng D-FRC in a custom color, the Guitar Sink measures 8 feet by 3 feet with a 6-inch drop edge and weighs nearly 400 pounds. Other than Cheng D-FRC BackingBlend, the oversized integral sink requires no reinforcement. Jonathan’s company, Infistone Concrete & Design, located in Lexington, Ky., specializes in concrete kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, integral sinks and concrete furniture for both residential and commercial environments.
Runner Up for the Fu-Tung Cheng Award was Chris Ossenfort of Dallas, Texas, for his entry, Kitchen Dining Table — Walnut & Concrete, a DIY project made with a solid walnut slab and Cheng Countertop Pro-Formula in Stone color.
The People’s Choice Award Winner went to Zebrawood Vanity and Sink by Andrew Seaman of Frederick, Md. Part of an 18-month home remodel, the integral ramp-sink vanity was made by Andrew for a half-bath with Cheng Countertop Pro-Formula in Charcoal.
