Mosaic Staircase of San Francisco


This little gem of colour can be found in San Francisco, get yourselves over to 16th and Morago and you will discover the 16th Avenue Tiled Steps. This stunning mosaic runs up 163 steps, inspired by the world-famous steps in Rio de Janeiro, was designed by  Irish ceramist Aileen Barr and mosaic artist Colette Crutcher. Working with over 300 volunteers the project took over two and a half years to complete.






The colourful sweeping sea-to-sky design was made up of a total of 163 separate mosaic panels, one for each step riser, with over 2,000 handmade tiles and 75,000 fragments of tile, mirror and stained glass.
