The project is a collaboration with OPENCITY ARCHITECTURE URBAN DESIGN RESEARCH. Sited at a Cape Farmstead in South Africa, the project is a proposal for a tiled mural. The mural is proposed for the wall which makes a treed resting space, with a seat and a central pool. This landscaped space was designed by OPENCITY ARCHITECTURE URBAN DESIGN RESEARCH.

The idea was to interpret the typology of the Delft Plate, a cultural artifact related to the VOC, or Dutch East India Company. The emblematic graphic of the stereotypical plate was fragmented in order to create an elongated graphic in conversation with the space. The fragmentation related to the patterned shadows cast by the trees in the space.
