Tiled niches for St. George the Victorious Church (Krasnodar Region, Russia)

Project
Tiled niches for St. George the Victorious Church

Nomination
Best Implemented Façade or Interior Project Using Ceramics

About the project
The niches with tiled panels are located on both sides from the gate.

The author was asked to make panel design using Yaroslavl tiling of the 17^th century as a basis. Bright and contrasting semiporcelain tiles compliment the exterior. Painted with engobes and color glazes, four panels use six basic elements, perfectly fitting in differently sized niches. The project hasn’t been finished – the church façade is to be further decorated with bass-reliefs.

Location
Aphipsky Settlement, the Sever District, the Krasnodar Region, Russia
