Crossroads - Old St. George Flyover

Old St. George was one of those rare projects that every firm dreams of being a part of. We were really challenged to both preserve and refresh this beautiful historic building, and the impact it had on the neighborhood was incredible.

We couldn't resist taking our new drone out for a test run to document this beautiful edifice. Break out the good headphones and full HD for maximum effect..

The fall foliage with the red brick is a great accent, and we were fortunate to snag some shots right at sunset. The building really shines though at night, with the steeples lit against the uptown skyline, and the courtyard aglow. It's just such a photogenic building!

Shou Sugi Ban Installation

After finishing the shou sugi ban pieces and CNCing the Platte logo, we were ready to assemble and install in the office.  We used our new 360 camera to take a time lapse of the installation, and with YouTube's 360 video feature, you can experience it yourself!

See how we made the wood here!

Old Saint George Tower Installation

Crossroads- Old St. George has been an exciting project for many reasons, but particularly cool was the installation of the new steeples, to be completed this summer.  Here are some awesome shots of the base being craned into position and attached.

More shots of the final 70' tall steeple segments to come!
