Dutch tile manufacturer Mosa<\/a> offers unique and distinct tile concepts for walls, floors, fa\u00e7ades, and terraces. Sustainability is at the core of Mosa practices, for which the company makes use of Cradle-to-Cradle principles and produces chemically inert, durable tiles. With a vision for a future where only sustainable materials are used, Mosa works with manufacturers, architects, and builders to innovate products for long lifespans, no health risks, and unique material composition. Designed in a variety of sizes, the tiles combine natural colors and textures.<\/p>\n

Mosa tiles can be applied to a variety of spaces such as shops, stations, hospitals, and schools, as well as contemporary homes. The designs hold physical and functional strength while offering different surface solutions. The varying tiles can be implemented in high-traffic areas like train stations and airports as well as low-traffic spaces. The overall idea is to provide a low-maintenance tile solution that is sustainable and durable while still holding aesthetic appeal to achieve a variety of architectural concepts and solutions.<\/p>\n

Long Dune Residence<\/b><\/a> by Hammer Architects<\/a>, Truro, Ma.<\/p>\n

Completed in 2014, the Long Dune Residence was designed atop a coastal bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Pamet River, and a nearby pond. The design plays with mass and void, two faces that each reflect different views. Mosa tiles are used to enhance the design\u2019s sustainable vision and durability.<\/p>\n

A residence for a couple and their guests, this home explores ideas of spaciousness, seclusion, and boundaries. It emphasizes relationships between surface and volume, as seen in the use of Mosa tiles. The simple design includes complex detailing and careful spatial logic between inside and outside, density and transition.<\/p>\n

Jesolo Lido Pool Villa<\/b><\/a> by JM Architecture<\/a>, Jesolo, Italy<\/p>\n

The first in a series of villas, the Jesolo Lido Pool Villa was created as a sustainable and low-maintenance design, which was achieved via the use of Mosa tiles. As lead architect Jacopo Mascheroni said, \u201cUsing Mosa presented a 360-degree solution: we could use the tiles indoors and outdoors; on walls and floors; in the pool and around the pool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stardom Entertainment Office<\/b><\/a> by D.LIM Architects<\/a>, Seoul, South Korea<\/p>\n

A renovated warehouse in the city\u2019s meatpacking district, the Stardom office was created as a catalyst for change. A large new fa\u00e7ade faces the street with colorful panels, while vulnerable structures were reinforced to keep the existing outer shell intact. Mosa Tiles provided a delicate and economic answer to questions of interior finish and texture.<\/p>\n
