Architectural Ceramics
JANUARY 22, 2018

We’d like to let you in on a bit of what went on. Here is the Best of 2017, inspired by our annual corporate meeting instead of popular products and tile trends.
How to Floor Tile

I have noticed a lot more Marble and Travertine in showrooms across the metroplex showcasing these two Natural Stones. I have some very strong opinions about these types of material and their use.

We can’t get enough of open plan living; from clever ways to create zones within spaces, to floor to ceiling windows and bi-fold doors, it seems there are countless ways to make this trend work for you. One of the top trends we are seeing is blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living areas to create the illusion of flow. This opens up spaces, making both feel larger and adding to the sense of indoor-outdoor living.

When editor in Chief Kate Meyers of Colorado Homes and Lifestyle moved into her best friend’s home, she chose Granada Tile’s Fez cement tile to delineate the front foyer and put her own spin on the house.

Through wet boots, muddy shoes, flip flops and dog prints, it will retain its bright beauty for years to come.

Life of an Architect
JANUARY 21, 2018
Last week I spent a frigid couple of days in the far northern part of Wisconsin with Poul Ober , an architectural photographer, so that we could get professional images captured of the modern cabin I wrapped up in this area earlier this year. Ultimately I think we will end up taking two trips … not because it’s fun, but because this cabin has two personalities – one where the cabin is covered in a blanket of snow, and one where it is not.

It is possible to mix two separate design styles. Image: Susan Nelson Interiors Sometimes, our sense of style is too big to be defined by just one particular aesthetic, and sometimes two looks really are better than one. However, combining styles takes a deft hand in order to come off feeling elegant rather than cluttered and erratic. Mix and matching design styles isn’t as hard as it may seem.

Many people think modern and contemporary design are the same. But there’s a world of difference.

Brooklyn-based Office of Architecture completed the design of a 3,000 square-foot (278 square-meter) Tribeca loft in New York. By completely reinventing one of the floors of a 19th-century warehouse, the architects created an original, contemporary home for a young family.
