FALLEN LEAVES   2003 SPECTRUM INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL AWARD   FIRST PLACE

Leaves Next       Back to Awards

In keeping with residence's "Arts and Crafts" theme, the designer chose to create handmade oxide-enhanced stoneware leaf tiles and burnished them to a deep, reddish-brown to fit comfortably within the cherry wood fireplace surround.

The fallen leaves theme was a collaborative effort with the homeowners. The conservatory was to house a large variety of plants and small trees, therefore the leaf tiles were selected to be compatible with the purpose of the room. The designer chose moss green slate for the floor to offer some contrast to the reddish-brown dominating the walls, windows and doors.
