Cast concrete, not a concrete effect
Most of what you see is applied — a coating, an effect, a thin layer over something else. What we do is cast. The piece is formed as a solid object in a mould built for it, and what arrives is the material itself rather than an impression of it.
It's why a run can turn a corner with no joint, why the fall on a waterfall island is the same piece as the top, and why a sink can be formed into a surface rather than dropped through it.

Why we mix our own
We don't, because a polished interior surface, a terrace facing years of freeze–thaw and a terrazzo carrying heavy aggregate all want different things from a mix.
Drawing, mould-making, casting, finishing, metalwork and installation happen here, and substructures and brackets are made rather than ordered in. Nothing goes to a subcontractor, so nothing gets lost between the drawing and the room.
How we work
We'd rather be right than agreeable
If a layout won't work, if a span needs support you don't want, or if concrete is the wrong material for what you're describing, we'll say so before anything is cast. It's cheaper for everyone than being polite about it.
A cracked worktop is a failure, not character
If anything we make and fit fails through our fault in the first year, we remake it. From year two to year five, we repair it. How we handle cracking.

Aaron, founder
ROKA Studio was founded by Aaron, who leads design and production.
The studio's approach comes from a background in making rather than specifying — hands on the material, across concrete chemistry, mould design, machining and metalwork. Before concrete there were ten years cooking professionally, a lot of it outdoors on wood-fired and BBQ setups. Knowing how a space gets used under pressure changes what you build into it.
Aaron leads every project from first drawing to final fit. If you commission something from ROKA Studio, he is the person you'll be dealing with.

Can we be trusted with it?
We work for named clients in real towns — Steyning, Henfield, Worthing — and we'll put you in touch with them if you want to hear it first-hand rather than read a quote on a website.
You'll have CAD drawings and a full material specification before anything is made, and cast samples in your colour and finish before you commit. Nothing gets made until you've signed off what it's going to be.
And if a piece we make fails, we recast it. That's the whole policy.

We cast sample tablets in our stock colours and finishes, and we'll post them anywhere in the UK. For projects nearby, we'd rather bring them to you and see the space while we're there — a colour behaves differently in the room it's going into, under that room's light, than it ever does in a photograph.
