the BASICS:
Unlike standard concrete, my UHPC mix design is engineered with advanced materials that increase strength while reducing weight. Each batch is infused with hand-selected pigments, layered grouting, and acid-wash techniques to achieve depth and dimension. Every surface is meticulously polished or distressed to bring out its unique character—transforming raw concrete into a luxury medium for furniture, sculpture, and architectural design.

Concrete at The Concrete Anomaly is not a generic building material — it is a proprietary blend designed for performance, longevity, and artistry. My mix is based on GFRC (glass-fiber-reinforced concrete), a technology that produces greater strength and flexibility while allowing pieces to remain lightweight and structurally sound. Years of experimentation with ratios, additives, and curing processes have resulted in a formula that withstands wear, resists cracking, and offers unparalleled versatility.
Beyond the foundation of the mix, each surface is treated as a canvas. Integrated pigments create depth of color throughout the material rather than sitting only on the surface. Layered grouting, acid washes, and polishing techniques add movement, patina, and variation that make every piece unique. Whether refined to a high sheen or intentionally distressed, the finish is guided by the design intent of the collection.
This approach transforms concrete into a luxury medium for furniture, sculpture, and architectural design — redefining what concrete can achieve in contemporary art and interiors.
-
Only the highest-quality components go into my process. Glass fibers, fine aggregates, and performance admixtures create a durable yet flexible structure. These raw materials form the backbone of my proprietary mix, allowing each piece to carry strength, elegance, and reliability — a concrete designed not for utility alone, but for lasting artistry.

Concrete at The Concrete Anomaly is defined by its finish. Integrated pigments bring depth of tone throughout the material, while hand-applied treatments — from layered grouting to acid washes and polishing — reveal movement and character. Each surface is tailored to its collection, delivering a unique finish that elevates concrete into a luxury design material.
Results:
Products that will stand the test of time.
options:
Concrete offers an unlimited array of options.From colors, textures and finishes I definitely have that going on. Which allows for and demands a creative flow unlike any other material. Delivering you the perfect product specificly designed and created for the space.
-
Literally hundreds of options.
From basic white to neon glow in the dark green.
from raw to highly polished
-
Those little subtle details that put the piece over the top while complimenting its environment. Typically minerals, metals, glass, grout or high end additives to the sealer that give depth, shifting and ghosting.
Flavor is where its at.

When visual beauty draws one to touch and feel it. I consider that a victory.
FAQ
Is UHPC lightweight concrete? +
Answer: No. UHPC is denser and heavier than traditional concrete. The benefit lies in performance—its exceptional compressive and flexural strength allows thinner sections to achieve greater results. Less truly is more.
Engineer’s Note: UHPC density exceeds conventional mixes, yet delivers 5–10× strength, enabling reduced section thickness for equivalent structural capacity.
What about color consistency? +
Answer: Yes—with nuance. Color consistency in concrete depends on pigments, mix design, curing, and environment. It’s part of concrete’s character. At The Concrete Anomaly, I use proven techniques and strict batching to deliver a consistent, luxury finish.
Engineer’s Note: Variation drivers include pigment chemistry, w/c ratio, hydration, and ambient conditions—managed with calibrated pigment dosing and proprietary finishing protocols.
Is there required maintenance? +
Answer: Generally no. My work is engineered for performance and durability. Show it basic care and it will last a lifetime. For specifics, refer to the Care + Maintenance guide.
Engineer’s Note: UHPC/GFRC systems exhibit very low permeability and high abrasion resistance; most applications require only simple cleaning.
What do you mean by how the concrete performs? +
Answer: Performance is the synergy between the mix design and reinforcement. Traditional concrete relies on steel rebar, which rusts and fails. I use fiberglass, basalt, and carbon fiber—non-corrosive reinforcements that ensure long-term durability.
Engineer’s Note: UHPC matrix bonds with non-corrosive reinforcement, eliminating steel-related failure modes and extending design life beyond 100 years.
How do we start? +
Answer: Simple—just reach out with your vision. I’ll guide you through finishes, options, and possibilities to bring the project to life.
Engineer’s Note: Engagement begins with scope, scale, finish intent, and performance targets. From there, mix design and reinforcement strategy are aligned with aesthetic goals.
