The expansion of Wind Creek Casino in #BethlehemPA features a design palette evoking the molten metal, powerful machinery, and industrial ambiance of nearby historic steel mills.

As such, the energy and movement suggested by the patterns of our #castmetal Dynamo and Spin grates make them the perfect finishing touches to the #hardscape surrounding the casino entrance.

🔦 Spotlight on PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE DESIGN! Day 4 of 4

Located outside a renovated building on the @SeattleU campus, this #pedestrianbridge solves a common problem—how to preserve and protect an existing tree and incorporate it into your overall project design.

Landscape architect @Mithun_Design came up with an elegant solution, designing a slightly elevated walkway that goes up and over the root system of what the university considers one of its “legacy trees”—a large #redoak situated right next to the entrance of this hall.

A steel frame provides a 12’ x 36’ platform for an array of our #castiron Rain heel-proof grate panels to sit on. The bridge frame includes galvanized steel wheel stop edges for ADA accessibility and safety, and some grates were #waterjet cut to allow placement of an ADA door button post.

Photo #1: Landscape Architect @HordCoplanMacht re-purposed our 12” x 20” Locust heel-proof grates to create this stunning stairway on the @LoyolaMaryland campus in #Baltimore.

Photo #2: The stairs lead directly onto a #pedestrianbridge deck/building entryway, which also features our cast iron Locust heel-proof grates but in larger 20” x 40” panels.

Photo #3: The frame holding the grates features a raised steel edge and cable wire railing for safety.

Photo #4: The light coming through to the underside of the bridge deck beautifully casts our Locust pattern onto surrounding surfaces, adding another element of visual interest.

🔦 Spotlight on PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE DESIGN! Day 2 of 4

We partnered with world-renowned design firm @KenFulk on this #pedestrianbridge for @TheBatterySF, a members-only social club and luxury boutique hotel.

The bridge consists of (12) custom 49” x 66” cast iron grate panels in our Interlaken pattern sitting atop an 11’ x 25’ steel frame.

The grates were cast in halves with an 18” Dia. opening where the panels meet. Kiln-cast glass inserts from @Bullseye_Studio cover the openings and are lit from below at night.

🔦 Spotlight on PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE DESIGN! Day 1 of 4

Landscape architects who incorporate our decorative grating into their #pedestrianbridge decks transform them from purely functional walkways to artistic design elements. We thought we’d spend this week showcasing the work of four architects who did just that.

Today’s featured project is one of the first pedestrian bridges we worked on, and these photos show why it’s still one of our favorites.

Both functionality and form were equal considerations when @TowersGoldeCT incorporated this eye-catching elevated walkway into their site plans.

The permeable bridge deck, clad in #castaluminum 20” x 40” Locust heel-proof grate panels, is just one element in a complex system beautifully designed to capture, filter, and detain runoff from @UMass Life Science Laboratories roof and surrounding paved areas.

A 42” high cable railing system was installed on both sides of the bridge for pedestrian safety.

When @BlocDesignIsNowV3 designed this stunning 8,000 sf rooftop terrace garden in downtown Charlotte, they incorporated many bespoke elements, including custom drains along the sloped building face. Because #DetailsMatter they chose the clean lines of our heel-proof Rain grates in cast aluminum, perfectly matching the color palette and elevated aesthetic of their overall design.

@IDOTimages asked us to cast these 30” Dia. bronze plaques for a new highway overpass project with a patriotic theme. The plaques were installed on the wing walls of the bridge, each representing one of the branches of service (#AirForce #Army #CoastGuard #Marines #Navy).

Unlike plaques designed to be embedded in floor and ground surfaces, these were not subject to ADA standards for accessibility. This allowed us to add a high degree of relief, which when combined with the patina finish and highlights, made these iconic emblems really “pop”.

Combining grate panels allows for the design of large arrays in an infinite variety of sizes and layouts. We aim to offer you creative flexibility, making it easier to place and protect more trees in ADA-compliant spaces.

@FlouraTeeter took us up on that offer, incorporating these eye-catching arrays of Rain grates into their re-imagining of Baltimore’s @LexingtonMarket plaza. They created a dynamic urban area, made infinitely better by the inclusion of over 40 trees in their project design.

Our Proto planter fence offers a clean, streamlined look, along with a modular, highly customizable assembly. Cast iron posts connect to adjustable-length steel rails, allowing any combination of angles and radii to be specified.

@SWAGroup utilized the flexibility of our Proto fence design in their Bagby Street Improvement Plan for Downtown Houston. Incorporating large planting areas in a variety of shapes and sizes, their award-winning project design helped define a safe, beautiful new corridor for pedestrians and cyclists to connect to major destinations from the city’s west side through downtown.
