Villages On The Green
Award winning Village on the Green is not your average retirement community. There may be ample options for independent living in and around Seminole County, but few can compare to the newly constructed villas of Village on the Green, which rest on 80 acres of secluded land surrounded by lush nature preserves and state parks. To complement the beautiful natural surroundings, this progressive retirement community is also undergoing a $56 million expansion to provide residents with an even greater assortment of amenities and activities to enrich their lives.

Wright Brothers National Monument
The Wright Brothers National Monument visitor center was considered an ultra-modern design when originally built in the 1920’s. It was part of the Park Service’s “Mission 66” program dedicated to modernization and expansion. The architectural firm of Rogers & Poor were the ones behind it’s unique art deco style. In 1966, it was inducted into the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The visitor center is recently renovated. DeepStream Design’s modern maintenance free museum benches with backs and arms were chosen for their ergonomic seating, lifetime structural warranty, and 100% recycled and recyclable content. Hand crafted in America from 316-stainless steel, marine anodized aluminum and recyc... More

URBAN ISLANDS
Large Island for sitting, the higher one serves to lay the laptop, the highest one as a backrest. The unique shape based on simple geometry of several oval features and three levels of horizontal surfaces offer a new perspective on the seating elements in urban spaces. Modules can stand alone or be linked in a playful archipelago. Intersection of shapes, various orientations of wooden panels and different colours of corpuses complete the overall effect. Wood on the horizontal surfaces may be replaced with high-pressure laminate (HPL) whose smooth surfaces, colour and graphic diversity create yet a different graphic character. Possibility of combination is not unlimited but is so wide that it will satisfy any creative architect who desires s... More

SINUS
Expanding the original concept of tree grilles, Sinus was created from a number of separate benches with an unmistakable expression. Strong steel plates easily bent on a slightly trapezoidal profile as in the case of the longest bench reinforced with an almost invisible rib rendering a totally solid shape. The dot perforation is a throwback to the genuine aesthetics of the 1960s. The combination of a unique seat pattern with plastic ’button pads’ thermally isolates the unpleasantly cold metal while providing the ultimate sitting comfort. A subtle yet important detail is the option of having the bench optically “grow” right out of the pavement. More

SATELLITE
As if a plate fell straight out of the sky and fingers of a cosmic architect stuck it into the surface. That’s how unearthly the unique shape of this bench feels. Although it is obvious that it is made of heavy concrete, it appears almost insubstantial. Elegant concave shape is not just for decoration, it is functional too. It brings privacy to two people and it virtually protects them from the outside world. Noise and wind have no chance. It can completely transform a variety of locations, from parks or city squares to waterfronts. Its design excels in both open spaces and in small closed corners. More

VERA SOLO
The all-purpose modular kit based on design of vera range is intended for all types of public realms, particularly those where an easy access from both sides and low maintenance are required. It is perfect not only for stations, airports, and bus terminals, but these advantageous features can also complement frequented squares or busy streets. A real bonus is the wider seat and less legs that highlight the silhouette of the bench. Apart from the standard length, double version and the kit enabling continuous never-ending lines are offered as well. Curved versions can result in circle, installed for instance around a tree, or combined so that ellipse is achieved. More

PORTIQOA
The perfect bench for those who love smart shapes. Its softly curved sides are made of aluminum alloy and work with an interesting optical illusion. The bench touches the ground only with a narrow edge and from some angles, almost impossibly thin lines are revealed. Continuous lamella seating, bending downwards, significantly underlines the design of the structure. An armrest placed in the middle of the bench prevents anyone from sleeping on the bench in the same way as the side armrests make it easier to stand up. More

Design has finally reached its goal – refinement on the whole and even in detail. This charismatic bench profits from the modelled morphology of the aluminium cast side frames The final look is accentuated also by the elegant top backrest lamella.

VLTAU
The park bench, held by a couple of massive, lightly-modelled legs made of aluminium cast, makes one unit together with simple but in terms of shape highly distinctive seat. Due to the sufficient width of aluminium cast of the leg it is possible to prolong the bench without further use of any other supports. Therefore, the seating element of massive look and great length can be achieved. The product range includes also armchairs and interesting compact chairs standing only on one leg, as well as the backless benches. All benches with armrest can be equipped with armrests. More

RADIUM
Unique design of this product range is based on the aesthetics of bent steel sheet. This aspect has been persevered even when redesigned. High stiffness of steel structure and overall excellent resistance were achieved by sophisticated intersection of steel plates. Prolonged versions bring slighter elegance in all material options.The basic model of the whole-steel version with perforation represents the initial radium design the most. When combined with Citépin plastic plugs, it eliminates the disadvantage of cold steel for sitting. Wooden lamellas on the seat are still the most favourite and HPL (high pressure laminate) boards offer elegant smooth surface and possibility for graphical motives. Part of the pro... More
