Back in October ‘07, our Project of the Month featured the cliff-face inspired accent wall in one of the new, ultra-modern Museum Residences in Denver, CO.

Local designer John Ronnberg and Hall’s Walls‘ Deborah Hall developed an original technique in order to create subtle striations in the top coat of Sugar Loaf Porcelina, giving the 30′ x 22′ wall a look echoing that of a sheer rock face.

With residents all moved in, modern furnishings attractively juxtapose the wall’s visually delicate striations. Also complimented by the oppositely situated bay of full-wall windows, the American Clay application is provided with an ample amount of natural light, beautifully displaying its unique texture.

As you may already know, American Clay was used in the Albuquerque home featured on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition that aired April 27th on ABC.

Rebuilding pastor Gerald Martinez’s home, the show’s crew was able to build a new home, renovate the Martinez family’s previous home and build an additional set of duplexes aimed to provide affordable, safe housing for those in need, all in one week.

Since they moved there, the Martinez family has dedicated their lives to improving the Trumbull Village, formally known as the “war zone”. Without a doubt, their devotion to revamping the neighborhood has brought about positive changes.

Throughout the six days of building, American Clay provided 43 buckets of precolored/premixed plaster and 20 applicators to this outstanding project.

All of us here at American Clay feel extremely honored to have provided a great product for an extraordinary family and to have been part of a significant opportunity that truly made a difference.
