A Direct Quote from Connie Jackson, Senior Designer, Wilson &
Associates
"The ATT
Executive Conference Center at the University of Texas in Austin was a
challenging job. Our task was to blend the history and "artifacts from the
school's beginning to a state of the art" conference center with the latest
technology from ATT on one of the largest school campus's. The goal was to
create a Texas inspired hotel using native materials. Being a LEED project,
reusing trees cut down from site and creating the front desk of the hotel
created a true craftsman experience. As a backdrop to the desk, the grand stair
and the "seal" from the University, the Seamless Limestone™ specified by
Southwest Progressive Enterprises was the perfect material. Hand troweled
plaster finishes were used on both the first and second floor creating the Texan
look Wilson desired."
Southwest Progressive
Enterprises installed over 72,000 square feet of Seamless Stone™ wall finishes
which included ballrooms, hotel lobbies, elevator lobbies, Sports cafe,
conference rooms and private dining as well as numerous restaurants and
public areas throughout
the space.

Description:
Southwest Progressive Enterprises spent over a year creating custom plaster techniques to assist RYA on their custom wall finish selections, further complimenting their design aesthetic to stay in harmony with the re-branding image of the new store. Ten different finishes and over 38,000 sq/ft of material were used in the Shinsegae project, all of which utilized products from our Seamless Stone wall finishes line.
A Direct Quote from Mike Wilkins, Creative Director/Partner, RYA Design Consultancy:
"RYA was selected by Shinsegae to create a world-class, luxury specialty store, on the site of an existing Shinsegae in the heart of Seoul, Korea. Interior finish items were critical to the success of the re-branding of the store, and it was agreed from the outset that Southwest Progressive Enterprises’ participation in the project would be a major determinant of that success. A team of local plaster workers were trained by a representative of Southwest Progressive Enterprises and also worked alongside them during installation. The store opened in March of 2007 to uniformly high praise, both from the retailing community and from the customers.

A direct quote from Scott Dorn - Project Manager for Wilson & Associates::
"Collaborating with Southwest Progressive Enterprises was integral to our design process; from sampling custom colors and finishes to actually traveling to China to help train the final craftsmen and installers, SPE assisted the Wilson Associates design team in every way. The final result is a project extremely rich in detail, where traditional materials were combined in a variety of applications, helping to create the Venetian Macao as the most opulent casino and gaming environment anywhere.
As the largest casino development in the world, the Venetian Macao is a highly themed gaming and retail destination. Designed as a series of experiences and environments, the casino floor encompasses 5 distinct gaming zones, each with their own set of finishes and design aesthetics influenced by an Asian sensibility. Additionally, the heavily ‘Italian’ inspired public areas of the project required custom plaster techniques and products. Southwest Progressive Enterprises helped us develop a design palette unique to each of these themed areas, creating custom wall finishes that really enhance and compliment the overall design concept."

Various mixtures of finishes in brilliant colours were used for feature walls, corridors, ceilings, and columns throughout the mall and includes the large dome ceiling in the main atrium.
When commissioned to outfit the new CNMG Production Building we had to keep in mind the vision of this new media house. Jaids Interiors had the responsibility to reflect their company's image in our design choices and chose to use modern finishes and materials. These finishes were used in the main TV Studio, foyer, staircase, radio room, corridors, and other public spaces. Not only are the colors vibrant but there is the added bonus that these finishes will stand up to the high traffic flow within the building. The new designs for this space have created an immediate impact on both staff and visitors to the building.

[ Direct Quote by the Designer, Tamesha Root ]
"Our clients wanted their new corporate headquarters to be somewhat conservative-yet also illustrate their progressive approach within their industry. The building and interiors successfully combine these features. The age-old art of plastering has been somewhat modernized enabling designers to afford this beautiful craft in our modern-day projects. Hence, Seamless Stone Wall Finishes were the perfect choice for Pilgrim's Pride: tradition on the progressive track.
We selected Seamless Stone Wall Finishes in the Spatulata finish for it's amazing capability of mimicking polished stone. We were able to simulate polished stone columns at a fraction of the cost of actual stone, yet still maintain a hard and durable finish that will endure the test of time. The finished product is truly precisely what we were all looking for.
These custom handcrafted finishes were expertly installed on walls, ceilings and columns on five floors for lobby areas, corridors, executive offices and other public spaces including the main reception area."
