A Chicago-area client contacted me earlier this year during construction of his Michigan vacation home, requesting that I develop an identity for the lake property. Ultimately, he decided to have the concrete company stamp the logo into the driveway. It was necessary to make minor tweaks to some of the finer details (the intricacy of the trees and the shadowing of ‘Trails End’), as the machinist was otherwise unable to create such an elaborate template specific to concrete stamping. My client recently texted me a photo of the finished driveway (ta-da!), which welcomes guests upon their approach to his family’s new, happy place.
