'Tuesday, August 7, 2012. Spanish Tile as Building Material, Part 3. In my last post, Spanish Tile as Building Material, Part 2 , I focused on the fortress city of Teruel (a World Heritage city designated by UNESCO). As a vital area for Mudejar art, a style influenced by Islamic tradition and more contemporary European architectural styles, Teruel’s extensive use of brick and ceramic tile on centuries-old buildings and façades serves as a timeless testament to the importance of ceramic til

Need Some Eichler Inspiration?

Making Tile Modern

Little Eichler history (per Wikipedia): Between 1950 and 1974, Joseph Eichler’s company, Eichler Homes, built over 11,000 homes in nine communities in Northern and Southern California. They all came to be known as Eichlers or an Eichler.

Olympic Buildings Covered with Tile of Spain

Tile of Spain USA

'Olympic gymnastic competition may just now be wrapping up in London, but it was 20 years ago that Tile of Spain was part of the event. When the Summer Olympic games came to Barcelona in 1992, Tile of Spain played an important role in the construction of the Palau Sant Jordi, considered to be one of the most interesting buildings from that decade. The arena designed, by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki, was used for the 1992 Olympic Gymnastics competition and holds up to 20,000 people.

Anything But Minimal

KB Culture

'Mono-slabs of a single surfacing material have their place: in a contemporary kitchen, they''re just what the designer ordered. But I find that approach rather flat-footed in rooms of a traditional bent. Here, stone tile edged in wood opens up the color palette, and contrasts nicely with the zinc sink deck. For grime-o-phobes casting a scolding eye on those grout lines, I humbly suggest a good sealer and a cutting board. marchicucine.it.

'While there are aspects of this grill set-up that remind me of the office—wire trays that resemble in/out baskets, the file-cabinet-like storage under the sink—its purpose is clearly recreational. The genially-named Mr. Chef is modular, so you can line up the individual elements in any order that suits your setting and cooking style. I might forgo the deep fryer, and include a pair of sink units, using one of them as an ice tub.
