So much beachfront development begs for enduring quality, not so with Grand Pointe at Inlet Beach, currently under construction near Destin, Fla. As part of its visual impact the architect, Phil Williams of Province One, Inc. designed custom cast aluminum finials painted in an antique finish with sophisticated toned gilding. Built to withstand hurricane force winds they are installed atop all of the many entrance piers throughout the grounds.
One unique feature allows runoff from rain showers to course over the surface of the metal finial and drain through the interior of the pier. This self-cleaning feature will prevent any staining on the beautiful stone and stucco veneers used as surfacing materials for the piers. Stainless steel base plates and anchor rods will resist corrosion and assist in keeping the structural integrity of the assembly.
Grande Pointe Developers, LLC are building for the future with an eye toward lasting beauty. They are anticipating their clients' wishes and with Robinson Iron's assistance are delivering in style. Knowjack, Inc. is the general contractor for Grande Pointe.
