Project • By ModCraft • Residential Landscape
Di Zock
ModCraft Hudson tile was selected by landscape designer Di Zock to add a dimensional material to create the movement and flow she wanted for this Pacific Palisades outdoor renovation. The contemporary home recieved a makeover of the front and backyard that incorporates architectural elements from the inside of the house and the exterior into the design. The goal was to create beautiful and functional spaces for the family to enjoy meals outside as well as entertain guests.
Flora of the surrounding area in the Pacific Palisades includes eucylptus and oak trees. Di's palette for the design included silvers, blues and greens using Yucca Rostrata, prostrate rosemary, and agave which complements the charcoal gray house.

Anaha Residential Tower Landscape
Anaha — “reflection of light” in the Hawaiian language — was designed to capture and reflect the light of the Pacific Ocean as well as the dramatic and ever-changing sky in Honolulu. Set within the Ward Village development, this multi-family residential project is informed by native Hawaiian plants and traditions, paying homage to the natural beauty and history of Honolulu.
Anaha is oriented with its long axis perpendicular to the shoreline to preserve sight lines from mauka (mountains in Hawaiian) to makai (sea). At the ground floor, subtle differences in stone finish — from bush-hammered to honed Cremino stone paving — reveal a wave pattern. This paving is mirrored and repeated across the multiple leve...

Veranda at Plantation
Landscape Design Workshop has won a 2018 Architecture MasterPrize™ Design Award in the Landscape Architecture / Outdoor Designs category for their Veranda at Plantation project. This lush tropical ‘urban jungle’ courtyard forms the social hub of the apartment complex and helps to mitigate the urban heat island effect. The 6-story residential building wraps around an interior courtyard featuring a lagoon-like swimming pool with a beach entry. Cascading fountains welcome the residents as they enter the courtyard and the calming sound of water can be enjoyed from the apartments’ balconies. All ground-level units facing the interior courtyard enjoy a direct access to the common area, providing a village-like atmosphere and contributing to... More

MAUI POOL EDGE
In contrast to the skimmer system, the trend towards overflowing pools as a spa/wellness imitation has gained momentum in recent years. In these pools the water overflows the edge and generates the effect of a continuous floor and pool, without cuts, a complete integration.
This style has always been more common in hotel and wellness centre projects but a few years ago it started to become fashionable in private homes, why not have the luxury of a hotel in your own home?
The swimming pool and its surroundings should be a space where safety and comfort are paramount. The surrounding floor must be non-slip and walkable barefoot or with wet feet, so both our pool coping edging and our ceramic drainage gratings have non-slip properties, which... More

CRETA POOL EDGE
The Creta edge is by far the most popular pool border thanks to its shape. It is ideal for installation in all possible shapes, whether as a skimmer edge, as an overflowing edge and in infinity pools or wellness pools, as well as in all types of curved pools. Its versatility and easy attachment make it perfect for any pool, whether it is a new construction or a refurbishment, while its anti-slip characteristic makes it safe for the whole family, preventing possible slips.

Product • By Mayor • CEMENTS COLLECTION
CEMENTS COLLECTION
Cements is neutral and clean, a type of porcelain stoneware that simulates cement, offering extra durability and ease of maintenance thanks to the fact that its composition is actually a high-strength ceramic material. Shades similar to snow, smoke and warm colours are what our designers have created to create trendy outdoor and indoor spaces. Uniform and pure lines that will make the rest of the decorative elements stand out even more and, if you wish, make the pool even more integrated with its surroundings.
The collection offers the possibility of being installed both indoors and outdoors, guaranteeing a complete and homogeneous environment that is very much in demand today. In addition, for outdoor use, there are not only tiles and poo... More
Product • By Mayor • STROMBOLI COLLECTION
STROMBOLI COLLECTION
The modern and smooth design of this stone is perfect for terraces with straight and architectural lines. The neutral tones and the soft texture of a natural stone make the Stromboli series very versatile and adaptable to all environments. It achieves a calm and luminous atmosphere, perfect for creating a space in which to disconnect.
The Stromboli collection is available in a wide variety of formats including the 60x120cm format in normal tile and 20 MM tile, very popular nowadays as its resistance is much greater and allows it to be laid outdoors, for example, as a pathway on terraces with grass.
It is available for indoors and outdoors, with Cerámica Mayor's characteristic anti-slip, with which the project will be completely ver... More
