OK, hopefully you like some or all of my tile offerings.  However, it is the application of these ideas that I am most passionate about.

Even the simplest of tile or ceramic detail can, with thought, become a design that brings out the beauty of a piece of architecture.

A few options are shown below, both of my own design and manufacture and from architecture designed by others.  

It is time to rejuvenate the beauty of architecture, in a durable, beautiful, 21st century style.                          

 

1.  The problem/opportunity - a bare molding on a turret, dormer, or tower on the front of the house.

     The solution:  a "necklace" of tiles in two designs, with colors complementary to the building. (Arcana design)

 2.  The problem/opportunity - a smaller tower needs to be embellished, without being overpowering.

     The solution:  an accent arrangement that is understated but that adds "completeness." (Arcana design).  This design also works for any window accent, or for accents between windows.

 3.  The problem/opportunity - a building lacks uniqueness.

     The solutions:  door and window embellishments, tile "dots" between brackets, and a thousand other options.    

 

 

4.  The problem/opportunity - a long flat wall without interest, or a structure looking for a point of interest (such as an outdoor fireplace, a wall facing a pool).

     The solution:  a wall sculpture that creates interest and that "breaks up" a long expanse. Suns are a classic choice. (Arcana design and manufacture)

 5.  The problem/opportunity - a long empty wall, or a wall looking for a point of interest (such as an outdoor fireplace.

     The solution:  a mosaic picture, framed or not, in almost any size. (both Arcana design and manufacture)
