Rock Solid Tile

We did this one about 20 years ago.

Full House creator Jeff Franklin is selling his Beverly Hills mansion for $85 million: Built on the site of infamous house has a gruesome history. The new owners of the mansion — which is located near Benedict Canyon — could easily get lost amid its 21,000 square feet, and the home boasts nine bedrooms and 18 bathrooms. Photos in comments. The home is tucked away on close to 3.6 acres and Its position high in the hills gives the Cielo Drive property 'jetliner' views of surrounding Los Angeles.

We installed the Bisazza VTC 20.59 glass mosaic tile material to every water vessel surface surrounding the entire property. It was an awesome project to be involved with.

It features a remarkable aquarium tunnel that leads you to the gracious dining room, showcasing two tanks of exotic fish and a rare shark tank.

Such inspiration here in Rabat. Amazing hand laid mosaic work that I’ve been inspired by my entire life. Even more looking forward to all the incredible zellige tile work in the riad’s of Fez and beyond.

What’s going on here? Designer calls and says “we have clients that are art collectors, with an existing pool, and we want the pool to be all glass tile.” I say “OK,” and I go take a look. Then I say “let’s make the interior structure a lot more useful and better looking”, (the pool was 10 1/2" deep!). They said “OK.” Then I said “wanna do some color blends and gradients?" They are starting to get very excited at this point, but I’ll save that for the next post.

Thank you Bisazza Australia for sharing another one of our projects!

The elaborate detailing of LE GEMME mosaic adds a whole new dimension to tiled pools. A perfect choice for the green pool trend is the richly coloured GM 20.55 as shown in this beautiful installation by

Always loved that project. Would not have happened without the brilliant Skip Phillips! THE true industry leader.

In April 2007, WaterShapes devoted an entire issue to Jade Mountain, a visionary resort on the island of St. Lucia.

The design, which included custom vanishing edge pools in every "sanctuary," was unlike anything ever attempted.

The result is a project that has raised the beauty, water, and romance standard.

Bisazza Le Gem GM 20.55. I always refer to it as Jade Green. Absolute jewel of each property.

Some finished detail shots. Through and through. Killed it with Oceanside art glass, Litokol, and our in-house custom fabricated mosaic. We hand cut each and every one of these pieces from sheets of art glass, and layed them into this repeating fluid wave pattern. And just because that wasn’t enough, we installed it into our on-site-custom-color-blended Litokol Starlike EVO epoxy grout system. Never done before and won’t ever be done again. Can't wait to see it full! Don’t let any snake oil salesmen fool you. Got any questions? Give me a call.

Details matter. Through and through. Stay tuned for more. Killin’ it with Oceanside art glass, and Litokol, and our in-house custom fabricated mosaic designs.

Thank you once again to Bisazza Australia for sharing another one of my projects. I designed this pool with fellow industry associate, landscape architect Alison Cook Terry, of Terry Design, for an undeserving and ungrateful client (just because people pay for something does not mean they deserve it). Nevertheless, the art that I create is ultimately for me, not the client or the “audience”, as the great Rick Rubin says. I was extremely proud of this project, as it did in the end turn out quite beautiful. We created the mosaic pattern using a range of Bisazza glass mosaics.

I’ll just put this right here for now. Stay tuned.

I was planning on going to show support but just can't break away. If anybody is interested in learning about what really goes into an all tile pool installation, you should seriously consider attending.

It’s on tomorrow! Luke from Alpentile finishing up the final prep for our Essential Tile Workshop at Lunada Bay Tile. You should be there!

Here is an older (published January 2013) Pool and Spa News article outlining three even older of our projects. Techniques are basically the same but materials have progressed quite a bit.
