Kitchen Concept_Page_2.jpg
TILE LAYOUT CONCEPT: STACK BOND PATTERN WITH DEEP GRAY GROUT. (MASKING DISCOLORATIONS IN THE GROUT OVER SUCCESSIVE CLEANING, GREASE, ETC.) RANDOMLY CHOREOGRAPHED STACKS OF TILE WOULD BE OFFSET VERTICALLY BY 1/2 TILE COURSE. THIS WOULD CREATE A PATTERN SHIFT ALLUDING TO BIRCH TREES ON A WHITE BACKGROUND. A SUBTLE CONTEMPORARY PLAYFULNESS. THE TEXTURE OF A GLAZED WHITE BRICK TILE WOULD ALLOW FOR FURTHER SUBTLETY OF TONE-ON-TONE TEXTURE (LIKE THE KNOTS ON THE BARK OF BIRCH TREES). OR A MORE RIGOROUS RE-ENFORCEMENT OF THE PLAY OF GEOMETRY COULD BE EXPLORED WITH THE BEVELED EDGE SUBWAY TILE WHICH WOULD BE FURTHER ENHANCED AT EACH OFFSET OF TILE STACKS AND THE INHERENT FACETS IN THE BEVELED EDGES OF THE TILE. TO CREATE A REFERENTIAL NOD TO THE FRONT-OF-HOUSE TONAL WARMTH "PIN STRIPE" INSETS OF BURNISHED BRASS TILE DIVIDERS COULD BE USED VERTICALLY TO ACCENTUATE THE OFF-SET OF THE STACKED TILE COLUMNS, FURTHERING THE RHYTHM AND PLAY OF THE GEOMETRIES. - simple materials and patterns used thoughtfully and frugally to create interest without demanding attention.
