Any architect or interior designer should be following tenament tiles...along with anyone else who takes an interest in what's behind that close door.

Since my decision to stop posting to X/Twitter, and restarting here, the project has lost 2k+ followers.

It’s disheartening, but the project is 10yrs old this year, and I hope it’ll be around for 10 more.

To those who have stuck with us, and to those new to the project, thank you.

We can rebuild.

@tnmnttiles.bsky.social this is in my own building. The rest of the hallway is decrepit and horrible but this part has lovely tile.

A pretty green tile with an orange flower art featured in the middle of it.

We were very happy to find these walls and floors intact and well cared for.

Looking down grey marble stairs, across the tiled walls and floors of a narrow apartment building vestibule, with glass doors, and an arched window above the entrance doorway.

Most Tenements have factors that deal with the common areas these days. I remember when it was a rota, and folk took their turn to clean. Folk felt more invested that way.

I’ve seen some right sights over the years. Fled from a few. :)

The image shows the staircase and a stained-glass window within a tenement building, in Glasgows southside.

This is an image of a stained glass panel. The panel features a bird in flight and a branch with floral detail.

This image shows a staircase within an older tenement building. There is shoulder height tiling and a wooden banister, with unusual balustrade painted with white paint.

View through the 1st landing window, to a leafy green shared back court. Original painted glass remains in the upper third of the window.

I did the public tour just before folk were moved in. If I recall, there’s spider inlay at the entrance which is an unusual detail?

My flat has a very similar painted glass window in the door! Less nice tiles though

Close up of painted glass window of a youth fishing

View of door with the window in it. Door is painted blue, bottom half of the close is tiled with a green and white checker pattern at the top of the tiled part

Certainly looks like the same character. The framing details are different though. Will see if I can find the close up, we can play spot the difference :)

A small peek into a decade of street stomping and stairwell lurking. I hope to organise a proper celebration before the year is out.

Thank you for the likes and shares, today. 10 years of work, is worth noting even in a small way.
