Koi Fish Mosaic Adding Life to Chris’s Outdoor Poolside
Why settle for a plain poolside when you can turn it into an outdoor art gallery? Chris McCauley didn’t just upgrade his space—he made a bold statement with a splash of color. Collaborating with MEC, McCauley transformed our original koi design by choosing a vivid glass tile palette and fine-tuning the details to perfectly match his vision, resulting in a truly unique artwork.

The Design: Fusing Art and Nature
Chris envisioned a dynamic outdoor mosaic that would enhance the natural beauty of his poolside area. To achieve this, we crafted a mural featuring vibrant koi fish swimming gracefully among aquatic plants. The blue and red hues of the fish stand out against a shimmering backdrop of glass tiles, creating a piece that is both lively and calming.
Koi fish hold significant symbolic value in various cultures, particularly in Japanese art and tradition, where they represent perseverance, strength, and transformation. Their popularity in art stems from their vibrant colors and elegant movement, making them a fitting choice for a mosaic that seeks to blend art with nature. By incorporating these elements, the design not only adds visual appeal but also infuses the space with a rich cultural significance.
Koi Fish Mosaic – Custom Touches
While Chris was thrilled with the original koi design, he had some concerns about how the mosaic would fit into his outdoor pool area. A beam in front of the wall raised questions about whether it might obstruct part of the mosaic. To address this, MEC provided digital renders, allowing Chris to see exactly how the mosaic would look in place and make adjustments to ensure everything was perfect.

In addition to the layout tweaks, Chris also requested a few color adjustments. Our team was happy to accommodate, making slight changes to the hues to better suit the outdoor setting and enhance the overall impact of the koi fish mosaic.

From Concept to Reality
With the design finalized, our team got to work on the production. The mosaic came to life with the vivid glass tiles, capturing the essence of koi fish swimming gracefully through Chris’s pool area. The installation process went smoothly, and soon enough, the mosaic was a stunning feature of Chris’s outdoor space.
