Project Overview

A hand-sculpted custom concrete memorial bench in Tacoma provides a place of quiet reflection, appearing as if carved from the very rock of its scenic overlook. The piece was meticulously formed and textured by hand to achieve a rugged, natural stone appearance that harmonizes with the surrounding landscape. Its substantial, organic shape provides permanent, durable seating that can withstand the exposed elements of the viewpoint. A bronze memorial plaque is recessed into the backrest, set flush against the deeply textured surface as a lasting tribute. The entire structure is integrated directly onto a natural rock outcropping, creating a functional work of art that feels both timeless and completely rooted in its environment. This project demonstrates a mastery of form and finish, resulting in a structure that is as emotionally resonant as it is physically enduring.
