Custom Glass Mosaic Feature Wall – Chadstone Hotel Melbourne
One of Direct Pool Tiles’ most prestigious custom mosaic projects is the stunning feature wall created for the luxury five-star Chadstone Hotel in Melbourne.
Working from a single photograph, our design team transformed the original image into a breathtaking glass mosaic artwork using advanced digital mapping technology and thousands of individually placed glass mosaic tiles.
The finished installation has become a striking architectural feature within one of Australia’s most prestigious hotels, demonstrating how bespoke mosaics can combine art, technology and craftsmanship to create truly unique spaces.
From Photograph to Glass Mosaic
Unlike traditional mosaics, this project began with a high-resolution photograph.
Using specialist mosaic software, the image was digitally analysed and converted into a detailed mosaic map.
Every individual tile position was allocated a specific colour and sheet location before production commenced, ensuring the finished artwork accurately reproduced the original photograph.
Once the digital design was complete, our colour designers carefully refined the artwork by selecting the most appropriate glass mosaic colours to achieve natural shading, contrast and depth.
Precision Craftsmanship
Every mosaic sheet was assembled by hand using individually placed glass mosaic tiles.
The sheets were carefully numbered to ensure they could be installed in the correct sequence, allowing the completed artwork to align perfectly across the wall.
This combination of modern technology and traditional craftsmanship allows highly detailed photographic images to be reproduced in permanent glass mosaics with remarkable accuracy.
Custom Made for Every Project
No two custom mosaic projects are ever the same.
Depending on the level of detail required, Direct Pool Tiles can manufacture bespoke mosaics using:
- 25mm porcelain mosaics
- 25mm glass mosaics
- 20mm glass mosaics
- 15mm glass mosaics
Each project is individually assessed to determine the most suitable tile size, colour palette and manufacturing process.
This flexibility allows us to reproduce everything from simple geometric patterns and company logos through to highly detailed portraits and large-scale architectural artwork.
