First Place Winner of 2016 Concrete – Above Ground Award Named

EULESS, Texas – Oftentimes good things come in small sizes, and this is certainly true in the case of the precast Superior Ranchette, a rustic tiny ranch house designed by Todd Sternfeld’s team at Superior Concrete Products. In recognition of the company’s hard work, the National Precast Concrete Association has named Superior Concrete Products the 2016 first place winner of the Creative Use of Precast Concrete Award in the Above Ground Category for the Superior Ranchette.

Superior Concrete Products created and built the innovative new home out of the company’s proprietary line of precast concrete fence panels and other products on the company’s property near the newly opened Chisolm Trail Parkway in Cleburne, Texas.

After the awards committee evaluated the various entries, NPCA president Ty Gable said, “The Superior Concrete Products entry captures the imagination. The Ranchette very clearly shows the amazing versatility of precast concrete. The judges were impressed not only with the beauty of the structures, but also with the technical design and how the display demonstrates the ability of precast concrete to emulate the look of other materials.”

Using precast concrete molded to resemble brick and other traditional finishes, the Ranchette showcases the diversity among the product lines manufactured by Superior Concrete Products, while also demonstrating the adaptability and novel uses of concrete as a building material.

A scalable and customizable prototype, the Superior Ranchette is a 600-square-foot ranch house that offers all the sophisticated features of a full-sized two-bedroom home – complete with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The exterior of the Ranchette is composed of Superior Brick fence panels, which have been hand-tinted to resemble the warm weathered look of aged masonry. The posts supporting the roof of the front porch are designed to look like water carved river rocks. The home’s interior has utilized Superior Wood Plus and precast fence panels to accent the interior of the house..
