DEXterity Custom Gray
Once a former landfill, the 23.5-acre site of the Waterfront Botanical Gardens has been transformed into a vibrant, sustainable green space overlooking downtown Louisville. Designed by Perkins&Will, the project merges environmental responsibility with community-centered design—offering a serene, welcoming public destination that honors both ecology and renewal.
At the heart of the main gathering area, DEX fabricated a series of custom high-performance concrete elements that support both flow and function:
These site-specific components were cast in a DEXterity custom gray finish, providing durability, elegance, and material consistency throughout the space. Each element was designed to withstand outdoor conditions while enhancing the natural beauty and intended serenity of the gardens.
This project stands as a powerful example of how architectural concrete can support sustainable urban renewal, both functionally and symbolically.
