The Vancouver Trade & Convention Centre opened it's doors to great acclaim for sustainable design.  They didn't have to search far for a local tile manufacturer to produce the unique entrance floor.

From concept to completion the project included computer imaging, custom coloring, 12 weeks of labor intensive manufacturing and precision meshing of over a 500,000 pieces of  1"x1" glass floor tiles.  The result is an awe-inspiring and one of a kind hand crafted glass mosaic floor.
