Marble & Glass Mosaic Murals

MEC

MOROCCAN MYSTIQUE | From tilework to décor & accessories (such as cushions, ottomans and lantern style lights) Moroccan style is all about the fascinating geometric patterns, dynamic rich contrasts and intricate details. The distinctive Mediterranean-slash-North African design genre features bold colors and elements that give a feeling of warm luxury, which makes is perfect for anything from a cozy living room to an elegantly lush villa seen in the photo below. This Marrakesh glass mural mosaic was especially designed by MEC design squad incorporating the famous blue and teal accent hues of Moroccan palette along with yellow, green and actual 24k Gold. Each tile in this chef-d'oeuvre was placed (and cut, where needed) manually by our expert Italian-trained craftsmen. Sparkling glass surface of the mosaic tesserae has the ability to highlight the charm of a Moroccan architecture and design without seeming out of place. If introduction of a handcrafted mosaic can elevate the style quotient or an already spacious & gorgeous pool-facing lounge, rest assured they can bring a distinct mystique to any interior or space of your choice. Be it a feature wall or a water cascade, glass mosaic tiles are always a good idea for a focal piece.

Weiss House

Flavin Architects

In the early 50s, Herbert and Ruth Weiss attended a lecture by Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius hosted by MIT. They were fascinated by Gropius’ description of the ‘Five Fields’ community of 60 houses he and his firm, The Architect’s Collaborative (TAC), were designing in Lexington, MA. The Weiss’ fell in love with Gropius’ vision for a grouping of 60 modern houses to be arrayed around eight acres of common land that would include a community pool and playground. They soon had one of their own.The original, TAC-designed house was a single-slope design with a modest footprint of 800 square feet. Several years later, the Weiss’ commissioned modernist architect Henry Hoover to add a living room wing and new entry to the house. Hoover’s design included a wall of glass which opens to a charming pond carved into the outcropping of granite ledge. After living in the house for 65 years, the Weiss’ sold the house to our client, who asked us to design a renovation that would respect the integrity of the vintage modern architecture. Our design focused on reorienting the kitchen, opening it up to the family room. The bedroom wing was redesigned to create a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Interior finishes were edited to create a more fluid relationship between the original TAC home and Hoover’s addition. We worked closely with the builder, Patriot Custom Homes, to install Solar electric panels married to an efficient heat pump heating and cooling system. These updates integrate modern touches and high efficiency into a striking piece of architectural history.
