The Glazed Surface

1
Colour as architecture
The tile field is not decoration. It is the room itself, defined by saturation over neutrality.
2
Black border defines form
Trim lines at cornice and dado articulate the geometry. Every edge earns its place in the composition.
3
Chrome reflects intention
Polished fittings multiply the colour field, catching green light at every angle they meet.
4
Porcelain warms the edge
Basin and bath soften the composition where the body meets the glazed surface.
