Mosaic Tile House

About

The Mosaic Tile House is located in Venice Beach, California, and it is a living, breathing work of art that has been turned into a stunning, colorful mosaic at the hands of its owners, artists Cheri Pann and Gonzalo Duran. From the ground up, every aspect of the unique home has been transformed since the couple first began covering just a countertop in 1994. Since that time, they have spent every day meticulously covering nearly every inch of the house – inside and out – and nearly the entire house inside and out sparkles in a beautiful display of color and mosaic tile.

It’s like a trip into a colorful wonderland, a home that is completely incomparable and wholly by itself on the list of creative things you’ll ever see. The couple have effectively turned the once plain stucco house into a living, breathing work of art that continues to be a work in progress as they have never stopped working on it.

Step inside the Mosaic Tile House, where visitors are invited to embark upon a breathtaking visual adventure that immerses them in the creators’ wild and unique world. Cheri Pann and Gonzalo Duran kindly open up their home to the public on Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Reservations are recommended for those looking to secure a spot for this unforgettable experience. In the meantime, immerse yourself in the wild, whimsical, and heartfelt details of this labor of love below.
