A hallmark of creativity is the ability to use the same product throughout a home with very different results.

That quality is demonstrated in two glass tile applications in this Stone Canyon home, says product designer Feras Irikat of Oceanside Glasstile.

"The same tiles Extrados Field from our Elevations Collection were used for the glass tile panel that appears to cascade into the pool, and for the retro-modern look of the fireplace surround."

For the poolside panel, Extrados pieces in colors from the company's Enchantment blend were placed in a vertical offset pattern to suggest a waterfall. Extrados tiles arch from the ends to the middle, and this curved profile gives them a multi-dimensional effect.

Elsewhere in the pool, water flows over smaller panels of Extrados tiles. This accents the shimmering quality of the iridescent tiles, says Irikat.

"Tiles from Oceanside Glasstile are handcrafted for a distinctive artisan look," he says. "We offer eight different yet integrated collections, so that a decorative accent or trim from one collection can be used with mosaics or field tiles from another."
