it's the season to collaborate!

from our family to yours, happy holidays!



take the stress out of concrete finishes. we are the experts! our design-focused team have a perfect concrete sensibility to work hand in hand in developing colors and surface finishes for interior and exterior uses.

no longer do you have to try to translate the look you want to a local contractor. that disconnect doesn’t need to exist – we close the gap. concrete collaborative will execute your vision from design through to construction. providing a national specification solution for concrete tiles, pavers and amazingly poured concrete and terrazzo floors. 

confidently choose concrete, exceed client expectations and create a timeless contemporary floor for your next project. best of all, we are growing our manufacture locally for quick supply turn around.

cheers! concrete collaborative team :)

DWELL + Concrete Collaborative

what our clients have to say...

Behind every project is a story. A collaboration that is personal to our small and friendly team. Finding a home for our concrete products that fit our clients needs and exceed their expectations. 

Dwell Home, Venice, CA

"Concrete Collaborative were the perfect partners on our project, working with us to find exactly the color and finish our designer was seeking. The pavers set the tone of our outdoor dining pavilion – they look really fantastic!"

Michael Sylvester of Dwell, Homeowner 


Just this weekend alone 500 people walked on our pavers at the dwell home tour! We worked hand- -in-hand with architect Sebastian Mariscal to develop the custom mustard color pavers with different character and exposure of concrete, all pavers were hand crafted in Oceanside, CA. More about our PAVERS

B_Space, Venice Beach, CA

"Thanks to our mates at Concrete Collaborative for supplying beautiful custom concrete surfaces for our furniture. It is amazing how much the concrete tied the space together and finished the overall aesthetic."

Pete Maiden, Owner


We love all our clients. From 30,000 sqft commercial tile floors to a couple of concrete slabs custom made for a Venice surf store. It is always nice to hear that even a small touch of concrete collaborative can make a huge change to a space. Bringing the honesty, simplicity and true beauty of concrete to every design.

concrete surfaces this spring


check out what's new with next generation concrete surfaces this spring...

                                                  concrete slab : pacifica 

        

concrete in a slab format is our neatest idea yet. clients love the idea of concrete counters but hate the clunky/costly poured in place options and welcome the ease of concrete collaborative's pacifica slab. fabricated just the same as any other slab, like marble, with a through body mix perfect for mitering, laminating and polishing. it's so simple and oh so chic. best part - our slabs are super cost effective

                                                      concrete topping : ventura

                                     

a revolution in the world of poured floors - a real concrete topping. this thin, lightweight overlay is 100% real concrete, not resin. say goodbye to that plasticky look and hello to the modern aesthetic only concrete can deliver, naturally. ourcraftsmen will come and perfect your floor with ventura.

made in the USA

we are proud to announce that our concrete tiles are now made in the USA!


in a society of mass production we love that our architectural concrete products are all hand-crafted. even more, we love that our production is now at home in the USA. our product ranges are inspired by the the beaches of california so it was only fitting to set up our factory in the socal beach town of oceanside.

collaborative partners ryan, chad, and john have sourced all local raw materials to create the perfect balance between art and science that our exceptional concrete demands. this proprietary manufacturing process creates concrete surfaces that are completely unique. the passion and craftsmanship of our factory is inspirational and for our family it is truly personal.

we have successfully made in the USA stunning tile for gap, versace and price waterhouse coopers.

for your next project: consider local, consider hand-crafted, consider concrete collaborative.
