Reclaimed Tiles (Composition no.1)
17ft x 21ft, Glass tile mosaic water wall

As the centerpiece of Novel 14th St. Apartments, this 350-square-foot water wall in the courtyard is made of over 60,000 hand-placed square glass tiles. As one of three installations at the site, the design depicts a color flow image of repurposed tiles utilized in the entrance mosaic mural. The goal of this installation was to extend the story of sustainability throughout the complex and to connect the courtyard with a cohesive vision across this water wall and pool mosaic installation.
