A 24k Gold Versace Mosaic Pool for a Las Vegas Mansion
It’s not every day you get to design a pool for a $10 million home in Las Vegas, but when the email came in from this client, we were ready. They had a clear vision: they wanted a show-stopping mosaic for their pool area, and they needed a team who could make it happen. We presented a few options, and it wasn’t long before they chose a Versace-themed design that perfectly suited the property’s aesthetic.
Our team soon proposed a few design ideas that matched the grandeur of their property’s architecture. Among those was the Versace theme, inspired by the timeless opulence of Greco-Roman motifs. It didn’t take long for the client to fall in love with this concept, and soon, we were in full swing—turning their luxurious poolside dreams into reality.
From the outset, the client was intrigued by the idea of incorporating elements from Versace’s iconic style. Inspired by the designs seen in the Palazzo Versace and the Versace Mansion in Miami, the client quickly fell in love with the idea of featuring Medusa at the heart of their pool.
The Versace aesthetic, with its bold Medusa imagery, intricate Greek meanders, and luxurious scrolls, felt like the perfect blend of classical luxury and modern flair for their Las Vegas estate. After exploring various options, we refined the design to incorporate these motifs, while tailoring the colors and patterns to the client’s specific preferences.
The client loved how the ancient Greco-Roman influences could be paired with a modern, vibrant palette, and they quickly approved one of our design options.
The Medusa Medallions
One of the highlights of the project was the dual Medusa medallion designs—each with its own unique character. These medallions became the focal points for both the pool and hot tub, but we took two very distinct approaches.
Classic Golden Medusa for the Pool
For the main pool, the client selected a rich, luxurious golden Medusa design. The medallion was crafted using our Oro Gold mosaic range, which features 24k gold-foiled glass tiles. These high-quality, shimmering tiles elevated the design to something truly grand. The golden hues contrasted beautifully with the deep blue tones of the surrounding water, creating a mosaic that gleamed and sparkled in the Las Vegas sun. This classic Medusa was bold, eye-catching, and timeless—perfect for the grandeur of the estate.

Icy Blue Medusa for the Hot Tub
Meanwhile, the hot tub featured a cooler, more tranquil icy blue Medusa medallion. We chose a sleek, frosty palette that stood in contrast to the rich golds of the pool. The icy blue tones created a sense of serenity, bringing a different but equally striking energy to the space. It was a subtle, refreshing twist that added depth to the overall design.

Pool Design Beyond the Versace Mosaic—ft. Greek Key, Acanthus, and Scrolls
The pool’s design goes beyond just the medallion. We added a series of motifs, including square designs, subtle scrolls, and acanthus leaves, all arranged in a way that feels balanced and connected. Along the steps, we used Greek key patterns, a detail that blends seamlessly with the rest of the pool’s look. These small touches helped bring the entire space together, giving it a visually cohesive feel. It’s simple, yet detailed—designed to feel timeless without feeling too busy.
The Fountains—Subtle Delicate Borders
In addition to the pool and hot tub, the project also involved designing custom mosaics for the fountains. Here, we paired a Roman-inspired border with a more delicate Greek meander pattern. The client found that these motifs fit perfectly within the modern design, adding just the perfect touch of the Greco-Roman theme. Each water feature—the pool, hot tub, and fountains—was thoughtfully integrated, creating a cohesive theme that connected them all.
Behind the Scenes: Crafting the Versace Mosaic
Once the designs were approved, we dove straight into production. The skilled mosaic artisans began hand-cutting thousands of glass tiles, ensuring each piece was crafted with precision. Throughout the process, we kept the client updated with photos and videos from the workshop, showing the mosaic artwork coming to life, piece by piece.

The fabrication stage was both complex and exhilarating. Creating mosaics for multiple surfaces, including the pool, jacuzzi, and feature wall, required us to balance aesthetics with durability. The materials we chose ensured the mosaics would withstand the extreme desert climate in Las Vegas, while still maintaining their vivid color and intricate detail for years to come. MEC’s Murano glass mosaic is UV ressitant and thermal shock resistant making it perfect for this project.
