Concrete can be corrugated or flat, matt or highly polished, and come in any color that you want: a versatile material that is no longer limited to gray tower blocks and underground parking garages. Hubertus Dreßler, head of Dreßler Bau in Bavaria, has made his company a specialist in the production of custom-made concrete elements. The company’s clientele includes renowned architects like David Chipperfield, who ordered a rather extraordinary concrete staircase and wall reliefs for the Neues Museum in Berlin.
