The Lizard Cornerstone

Lizards are symbols of change and new beginnings. Native Americans believe that lizards represent hope, transformation and dreams. This is why, instead of the traditional architect’s initials inscribed on a cornerstone, Lindsay Daniel decided to “sign” her work with a lizard icon. In this way, she extends a wish of divine wisdom and good fortune to all those who dwell in the home. The lizard also symbolizes conservation, which closely parallels Lindsay Daniel’s belief that home design and creation should be respectful of the environment. So for clients who wish it, a beautiful aged metal lizard becomes a subtle sentry to their home, accenting stonework or other distinctive architectural features.
