Creative Collaboration: Newbold Stone + DCA



John Newbold knows concrete and there is no design challenge he is not willing to take. Powered by the creative energies of founder John Newbold, an experienced designer and engineer and third-generation tradesman trained by renowned concrete expert Fu-Tung Cheng in San Francisco, Newbold Stone is dedicated to excellence in the design and installation of decorative concrete. You can see his work at House + Earth located at 1214 W. 6th. Street Suite 120, Austin Texas.

These are a few examples of our collaborative efforts:

Custom sink at the Lake LBJ Retreat
John Newbold helped create a continuous 13’ long counter and shower bench with an integral sink.  Using his lightweight concrete he was able to make the entire piece, seamless, in one pour off site. .  John also designed the plumbing to hide the drain below the sink basin so it would not be visible from above.  The counter is white with a semi-gloss finish.

Custom sink at the Lakeshore Retreat
John Newbold made it happen. A ¾” concrete sink with an integral countertop and solid legs with no joits, all done in one pour. The finish is max white with a semi-gloss finish.
