Customization: The Ultimate Luxury

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There’s a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

In today’s cookie-cutter world where every mall has the same stores, carrying the same products; where every housing development looks like an invasion of the clones; where tiny condos rise up to the sky in a never ending pile of boredom; and where the sameness of everyday life starts to close in on people; customization becomes the ultimate luxury.

The space in which people live, work, and play effects them on an emotional and psychological level; space can be impressionable in either a positive or negative way; and space can be soul crushingly destructive or inspirationally transformative.

Anyone who has driven by a private school during lunch can’t help but notice how the kids modify their uniforms to make a statement, to be different, to tell the world I am a person, I am unique. As much as people want to be part of a community, to be accepted, they also want to be acknowledged as individuals.

The ability to customize your home with specially designed water-jet cut stone floor border tiles or kitchen backsplashes says you will not be “pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own!” (Patrick McGoohan, Number Six, The Prisoner, 1967).

By adding customized dimensional laser-cut decorative mirrored acrylic elements to your walls, people can make a personalized statement, distinguish themselves from the crowd, add some individuality to their environment, and maybe even a sense of pride in making their little box their own. Even seemingly mundane elements like floor vents, can be turned into custom water-jet cut stone details, a finishing touch that exhibits good taste and attention to detail.
