The mosaic

A row of linear LED grazers along the foot of the wall lights the mosaic from below at a low angle, so every tile catches the light and the relief of the surface shows. A hidden strip around the niche outlines the frame. Warm white keeps the ochres, reds and blues true.

Pool terrace

Seen from across the pool, the lit mosaic closes the view at night and is mirrored in the still water.
