One of the oldest and most important symbols in Asian philosophy and spirituality, this inlaid stone showpiece rests in the entrance foyer of a home in Toronto, Ontario.

Its subtle palate, sensuous curves and exquisite workmanship exemplify our approach to functional art.

The smooth curves of the lotus' petals are complemented by the intricate core of the blossom.

A great deal of mind and soul was invested in the design of the Lotus Blossom mosaic.

Stone mosaic floor Design. Light and dark shards splay outward, cast away from the center like rays of light. "The Sun rules the day" [Anthony Smith]

From its core, shards of light are born. Hidden around this abstract pattern lie four faces. Can you see them?

This design/pattern has been orientated to the earth's axis. An abstract pattern dominates the center, and around the center lie four hidden faces in profile - one face for each direction - Northwest, Southwest, Northeast, Southeast.

Designed for Brian Gordon - Rest his soul. Wheelchair access bathroom and shower.

Glass tile waves viewed from mirror as seen from outer hall.

This pentagonal shower enclosure incorporates many of the guiding principles of Architectural Artisans Design Philosophy. A careful balance of aesthetics and functionality were applied to this design.

A floor drain at the center of the design appears to interrupt the surface of the stone sending jagged shards outwards. The center of the drain is the very nucleus of the design and the shards radiate outward with equal proportion from the radius point.

Sunlight strikes through two windows, splaying the sun's rays across the room. This design functions like a sundial.

The pattern features polarized, light and dark shards of wood arranged concurrent with the wood grain direction opposing outwards.

This project proceeded with the inclusion of a complex patterned, custom designed, piece of functional art.
