Mermaid- After - The mermaid platform was based on Sr. Designer, Joanne Baxter's, glass block platform. Due to budget constraints, tile was used as a solution to create an undulating wave for the Mermaid, Atagaris, to ride upon. The design allowed the mermaid sculpture to be a focal point from the hotel entrance and allow the reception desk staff to be able to see into the great room/breakfast area. Atagaris is 10 feet long and 4 feet high and weighs approximately 100 lbs.
