Herringbone Shower Tile on Merlin Court

Wood-look tile turns the corner of a Kelowna shower in a herringbone pattern. A tall niche interrupts the pattern on one wall, with the tile continuing inside the recess.

Setting two adjoining shower walls

The wider installation photographs show the shower tucked into one corner of the room, with daylight from the window and the opening overhead. Across the shower walls the tile runs diagonally in alternating directions. The close view of the niche shows how much of the layout has to be resolved in a narrow space, from the edge of the opening to the short pieces at the back of the shelves.

From the field tile to the edge

In February 2025 the crew recorded setting the shower walls, completing the tile baseboards and grouting the installation. They later sealed the bathroom and finished the edge trim. These photographs capture the tile-setting stage, including the uncovered floor and tools. They give a clear view of the surface before the shower fittings went in.
