| Diamond
D Company located in Capitola, California, walked away
with gold at the
2002 Bomanite International Conference in St. Louis this
past March. The recent Award
for the Best Patène Artectura Project/Flatwork
makes this the fifth award in three consecutive
years for owner Dave Pettigrew and his crew. |

The
award-winning project is located in La Honda, California,
and features a mixture
of Patène Artectura and Micro-Top. It took Pettigrew
and his crew six weeks to color
the 6,000 square feet of flooring, which followed after three
days of scoring the designs.
Concrete runs throughout the house as both vertical and horizontal
design elements
including floors, two horizontal countertops in the kitchen
and master bedroom and
as surrounding walls in the shower. "Everyone who comes
into the house can't believe
it's concrete." Pettigrew said.
As
a kid, Pettigrew loved to draw artistic designs and interesting
geometric shapes,
which he would then color and use to cover his textbooks.
Since then, his passion
to create unique and brilliant works of art on anything concrete
such as floors, driveways
and countertops is unending.
Ten
years ago, Pettigrew saw acid stained floors for the first
time. Since then, he is devoted to learning everything possible
about interior floors and believes his best work is yet to
come. He has been involved in the development of several new
products and is always learning about existing products that
have been on the market.
