Join us each week for a look at some stunning LATICRETE projects from around the world! This week we're showcasing the Antonio Catalan (AC) Marriott Hotel in Texas, USA.
The AC Marriott Hotel features modern American architectural design with a Spanish twist, and developer Jackson Shaw wanted to accentuate this with an eye-catching sculpture in the front entranceway to make a lasting impression.
Shaw chose mosaic designer Julie Richey to create the stunning 7.23m² Pamplona Rose column, inspired by the traditional stitched polaina that adorned the boots of Spanish horse riders. The column, along with the tiled entryway floor, used almost 100kg of glass mosaics in 35 different colours.
Julie Richey chose a LATICRETE solution for this installation, electing to use LATAPOXY® 300 Adhesive for the perfect bond to the unique fibreglass structure of the column. She grouted the mosaic with SPECTRALOCK® PRO Premium Grout, and sealed with LATASIL™ to complete this epic project!
“I have always had excellent results with LATICRETE and trust the quality. Working on commercial and residential mosaic projects means each one has a different set of challenges: site, intended use, physical materials, etc. In any situation, the LATICRETE technical support services are an essential tool for me to learn which materials work best for any given application”
