‘Checkerboard Charm: A Bold Pattern Reimagined for Modern Living’
This checkerboard tessellated project is a true celebration of craftsmanship and enduring design sensibility. Each tile is carefully laid with precision to maintain alignment, rhythm, and balance—hallmarks of traditional tiling methods that honour the legacy of classic design.
This stunning checkerboard tessellation project, located in Adelaide, brings timeless elegance to the front veranda and balcony of a beautifully restored heritage home. Using classic black and white tiles, the design is enhanced with a Norwood border, adding a refined frame that pays homage to traditional Victorian-era patterns. The checkerboard layout creates bold visual contrast while remaining perfectly balanced, complementing the home’s architectural details.
To complete the design, bluestone step treads have been thoughtfully integrated—framing the tessellated floor and continuing through to the stair design. This combination not only anchors the space with natural texture and tone but also provides a durable, slip-resistant solution for the home’s entrance. The result is a seamless blend of historic charm and practical craftsmanship, delivering a warm and sophisticated welcome from the very first step.
