Blue Mosaic Pool in Coto de Caza

Blue Mosaic Pool in Coto de Caza

Projects

More than 250,000 hand-cut glass mosaic pieces, custom-designed and fabricated for this Coto de Caza residence. Blue scrollwork connects the pool floor, waterline and spa in one continuous composition.

A pool in hand-cut glass

Designed for a private residence in Coto de Caza, Orange County, this all-tile pool and spa brings ornamental scrollwork to an architectural scale.

Mosaiclegs created the custom design and fabricated the smalti glass mosaic in our own studio. Every curve is shaped with hand-cut pieces, rather than constrained to a fixed tile grid.

The finished scrollwork carries across the pool floor, waterline and spa. Above, the before-and-after comparison shows the transformation of the same pool.

From ceramic reference to mosaic

The design began with an Italian hand-painted ceramic tile. Mosaiclegs developed its scroll motif into a custom composition for the pool and spa, pairing blues and browns with neutral white against an infinity-blue field.
