Chaney Reception Desk Wins International Decorative Concrete Award

Share

At Chaney Enterprises’ corporate headquarters, visitors are welcomed by a striking architectural precast concrete reception desk—crafted by Hyde Concrete and recently recognized with an industry award. We’re proud to feature this 3,000-pound centerpiece in our lobby, a strong, sleek, and sophisticated focal point that reflects our company’s dedication to top-quality concrete and construction materials.

The desk was engineered as a six-piece modular system, designed with exacting tolerances to ensure seamless assembly. Its front panel features an integrated toe kick and an angular brake with custom notching for LED backlighting. Given the desk’s size, weight, and architectural requirements, the design demanded specialized forming and extreme dimensional precision—leaving no room for field adjustments.

This award-winning project is a powerful demonstration of concrete’s architectural versatility. More than just a functional workstation, the desk embodies corporate art. Integrated lighting, custom wood cabinetry, and precision-engineered modularity showcase advanced precast capabilities while highlighting the collaboration between Hyde Concrete, architects, and contractors.

The result is more than a reception desk—it is a statement piece. Hyde Concrete’s achievement illustrates both the craftsmanship and limitless potential of architectural precast concrete design, and we are proud to showcase their work at the heart of our headquarters.
