Tile+Mosaic

While preparing for the Andalusian section of the course I was reminded that one of the best places to view this type of ceramic tile is the Adamson House on the Pacific Coast in Malibu California. But in 1930 and once the beach house of the prosperous Adamson family, it is now a historic landmark open to the public.

Despite this, it’s an element that’s often woefully overlooked at the expense of great design. Grout choice affects not just the look but the feel of the installation.
