Architectural concrete wall and method of forming the same

A method of forming an architectural concrete wall, the method comprising the steps of:

• conveying a concrete mixture onto a base surface, the concrete mixture defining an exposed surface, the base surface being inclined so that the exposed surface is angled relative to a horizontal plane;
• floating the concrete mixture;
• striking the exposed surface with an irregular surface forming tool to define an irregular surface, the striking of the exposed surface occurring while the concrete mixture is of a workable texture such that the striking does not result in breaking of the concrete mixture, wherein at least a portion of the irregular surface forming tool falls away from the exposed surface between consecutive strikes;
• and
• pressing a stamp against the irregular surface to impart a stamp texture in the irregular surface.

• conveying a concrete mixture onto a base surface, the concrete mixture defining an exposed surface, the base surface being inclined so that the exposed surface is angled relative to a horizontal plane;
• floating the exposed surface of the concrete mixture;
• gripping an elongate irregular surface forming tool having a gripping portion and a distressing portion defining an irregular configuration;
• and
• repeatedly striking the exposed surface at random locations with the distressing portion of the irregular surface forming tool to define an irregular surface, the striking of the exposed surface occurring while the concrete mixture is of a workable texture such that the striking does not result in breaking of the concrete mixture.
