The process of getting the ornament from the space works by structure-preserving transformations

The design of the floor, color, and geometry all arose as a result of structure-enhancing transformations in the place.

finding

Color proportion 57% middle red, 40% very pale yellow, 3% strong blue yielded freshness and spring-like quality for Martinez floor
supports
After sliding paper swatches, the exact proportions that made the balance just right were discovered; any deviation destroyed the inner light.
Alternation of squares and rectangles was superior to simple checkerboard for Martinez floor
supports
In pattern trials, alternating square and rectangular elements felt more harmonious than a plain checkerboard.
Diagonal patterns worked best for Martinez main room floor
supports
During lattice-strip testing, grid patterns parallel to walls jarred, while diagonal patterns harmonized with that specific room.
Optimal squares 16-18 inches, rectangles 5-6 inches wide for Martinez floor
supports
Through stick and mockup testing, these dimensions gave the best fit in the room's feeling.
