Architectural Concrete
Architectural Concrete Elements
Planters, tables, lanterns, and vessels pressed from the same high-strength mix as the cladding — so the whole scheme reads as one material.
This is the part of the catalogue that finishes a job rather than builds it. Miami Stone Veneer Specialists presses these from the same mix as the cladding, which means a planter next to a stone wall matches it properly instead of nearly matching it.
Why matching matters more than it sounds
Landscape architects run into this constantly. You clad a facade in a warm limestone tone, then specify planters from a furniture supplier, and the greys fight each other. Nobody can say exactly what's wrong, but the terrace looks slightly cheap.
Ordering the elements from the same batch as the cladding removes that entirely. It's a small decision that does a disproportionate amount of work on a finished scheme.
What's in the range
- Planters — Trapezza is the big tapered floor planter at 23⅝ inches, right for lobby and entry work. Circulum is the cylinder that doubles as a side table. Pottula and Vasella are the small tabletop pieces.
- Furniture — Centrum is a solid concrete outdoor table in two diameters. It's the heaviest thing we sell and it doesn't move in a storm.
- Lighting and vessels — Illustra is a cube lantern housing. Lucerna is a four-wick candle block. Orbis is a plain sphere, which sounds dull and turns out to be the piece people buy in threes.
A note on drainage
Every planter ships with drainage. Use it. The most common failure we hear about isn't the concrete — it's someone sealing the base to stop water marking a terrace, then wondering why the plant died in August. In this climate a sealed pot is a bucket, and afternoon storms fill it in minutes.
Cost
Per piece, from around $40 for the small vessels to $600 and up for the large Centrum table. Volume pricing on hospitality and commercial orders — tell us quantities and we'll price the schedule properly.

Where this gets used
The applications this range is specified for most often in South Florida.
Restaurant Walls
Restaurant walls take a beating and get photographed constantly. These are the finishes that survive both.
View details →Hotel Lobbies
A lobby has about four seconds to say what the property costs. Large-format stone and deep-relief panels are how that gets said.
View details →Outdoor Kitchens
Summer kitchens run year-round here. Concrete stone over block takes direct grill heat and afternoon storms without complaint.
View details →Entryways
The entry is the smallest area with the biggest return. A few hundred square feet of the right stone changes the whole elevation.

Coastal Stone
Made for waterfront elevations. Pale, shell-flecked faces plus a cool riven slate, all rated for direct salt-air exposure with a penetrating sealer.
View details →3D Wall Panels
Concrete panels that do the work light usually does. Fifteen relief patterns that tile seamlessly, from barely-there texture to deep architectural shadow.
View details →Concrete Lattices
Breeze block is back, and Miami is where it belongs. Twenty-four patterns that filter sun, move air, and give a wall a shadow that changes all day.
View details →Common questions
Are these made from the same material as the cladding? +
Same mix, same colours. That's the entire point — a Trapezza planter beside a Cantera-clad wall reads as one material rather than two things that nearly match. Order them together and we'll batch them together.
Will the planters survive outdoors year-round? +
Yes. They're concrete at 200–250 kg/cm², not the resin-and-filler pots you get at a garden centre. Drainage holes matter more than the material — waterlogged soil in a sealed pot is what kills plants here, not the container.
How heavy is the Centrum table? +
Heavy. It's a solid concrete table at either 23⅝ or 31½ inches diameter, and it takes two people to place. That weight is a feature on a Miami rooftop — it's still where you left it after a summer storm.
Can these be colour-matched to my cladding? +
Yes, on a custom order with a minimum quantity. Stock colours cover most of the range. If you're doing a whole scheme, order everything in one batch — concrete colour drifts slightly between pours.
