History
Architectural Facades Unlimited’s ornamental cast stone is the professionals’ choice to achieve the classic feel of yesterday, the modernism of today, and the timeless beauty of tomorrow.
Architectural Precast Ornamental cast stone has been an architectural element for centuries dating back to the Ancient Romans. Over time, the art has been further developed and refined to become what is known today as Architectural Precast. The art of precast has made it possible to replicate ornamental details in concrete and plaster, preserving the timeless old world beauty once captured in natural stone. Architectural Facades Unlimited is proud to be a part of this great heritage.
With an extensive background in Fine Arts, Frank & Alice Bracken, the founders of Architectural Facades Unlimited, began the company over 30 years ago in San Jose, California. Frank Bracken is a sculptor trained in Europe and holds a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts & Materials. His Fine Arts background, combined with over 40 years of mold-making and field experience are the unique basis from which Architectural Facades Unlimited continues to grow.
Since the summer of 2000, Architectural Facades Unlimited now resides in Gilroy, California, occupying a new thirty-five thousand square foot facility on four and a half acres – both the offices and manufacturing plant are located here.
Architectural Facades Unlimited’s skilled staff and production team consistently creates highly intricate designs and fabricates a beautiful product of unsurpassed quality, strength, and durability. We work with architects, designers, and/or contractors on the project requirements and strive to meet the desired specifications and visions lending our expertise and craftsmanship.
Architectural Facades Unlimited’s impeccable business reputation, dedicated staff, and loyal & repeat clientele are the reasons why it has become one of the most respected and award-winning ornamental precast companies.
