New Work: Slip-Cast Zinc Ceiling and Bar Top
The Hamptons are infamous for beautiful vacation homes by the beach. Many people dream of owning one of these properties… And others dream of designing one. Personally, I’m not quite sure which would be better - Maybe if I could design my own? Recently we were given the opportunity to add our own personal touch to one. Unfortunately the home wasn’t ours, but now this residence in the South Hamptons has a little piece of CLP Design… actually, a few pretty big pieces. And we’re not even finished yet.
First we got to build and install one of our slip-cast, zinc bar-tops.
This 12′ x 4′ L shaped bar top incorporates a drink rail and has a rich patina with a beaded edge detail. When I own my own home in the Hamptons, you can bet I’ll have one of these. The antiqued feel of the bar adds to the historical value of the piece. Isn’t that what’s most special about these bars? They ARE beautiful, but also an amazing piece of history and a reminder of simpler days.
And I love how even with the patina, you can still see the reflection of a whiskey bottle on the surface. ;]
Next, we got to do a completely one-of-a-kind project… A zinc ceiling. We constructed 8 rectangular ceiling panels weighing 110 pounds each.
The install took 3 days and was worth every exhausting minute (Ok, so I didn’t install the ceiling… but I can speak on behalf of the guys. They should be proud!) I’ve never seen anything like this, but that’s what we do… The unimaginable.
We also installed a 9′ x 9′ tin ceiling in another room. The contrast is stunning… and I’m completely in love with these lighting fixtures. I love how the traditional feel of the tin blends with the industrial-style lighting.
And what’s a tin ceiling without the medallion?
We still have a few more pieces in store for the residence… We’ll keep you posted.
