Patterns aren’t ornament; they are quiet guides for feet and thoughts.
Look For
- Geometric sequences and borders.
- Inlays that mirror façade colors.
- Silent choreography through space.
Reading Movement
- Borders as lanes.
- Centers as pause points.
- Echoes of façade color inside.
Bottom line: The floor is a map for patience.
