About This Project
Material & Feature Breakdown
The living room of Casa 1O features a meticulously crafted accent wall and fireplace surround clad in large format rectified porcelain tiles, approximately 12x24 inches in a horizontal stacked layout. The tile exudes a sophisticated gray tone with a matte finish and slightly structured stone look, offering visual depth and a contemporary update to the classic midcentury palette. Matching thin gray grout lines keep the installation seamless and refined. The rectangular tiles create clean, strong lines that evoke a modern sensibility, while the naturalistic stone patterning brings textural interest and a uniquely tailored ambiance to the space.
This distinctive tile application in Casa 1O, completed by Architect Heather Johnston in Monterey, CA, elevates the modern living area and fireplace zone with elegant resilience and understated luxury. The gray porcelain creates a striking central feature, delivering warmth and style that perfectly complements the home’s bright, open layout and distinctive midcentury-meets-modern aesthetic.
