Case History: Westchester County Women's Jail Expansion
The design of the expansion to the women's jail was dictated by the existing structure. Cast Stone was chosen for its ability to precisely match the color, texture and profile of the existing work. Cast Stone provided both a dignified trim medium and a perfect location for embedding weld plates and inserts to receive security equipment. The "saw tooth" design of the panels provided an interesting and rugged touch to the mass of the brick structure. During the morning and late afternoon hours, the shadow effect from the sun created by these projections enhanced the effect. |
