In this episode, Ray Corral, founder and creative director of Mosaicist, breaks down how a single recessed trapezoid window became the design language for an award-winning South Florida pool. He explains how Mosaicist turned that architectural detail into a repeating geometric pattern that creates a 3D optical illusion on the pool floor, the math and sacred geometry behind the composition, and why the most difficult part was making the design fit an already-built shell.
Corral also talks about designing color around water, light and reflection so the mosaic works with a Lautner edge and negative edge, the trial-and-error process of testing tones underwater, and why he considers this project a glass-ceiling breaker that opened the door for Mosaicist to pursue more contemporary pools using geometry, dimensional effects and architectural forms.
