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) |
