Tiles have always been a key part of design, used for centuries in different cultures to decorate, protect, and tell stories. While they’ve traditionally been rooted in architecture, today’s designers are reimagining tiles, using them to transform all kinds of spaces, from living rooms to public areas. This trend is placing tiles as a central element in defining the character of modern spaces. The following article explores this trend through four different projects that showcase innovative ways tiles are being used.

As an avid facade enjoyer, I feel rewarded when I go out.🌟 They catch my attention, and I find myself gazing just at the facades i see for a long while.    Be it on the internet or in neighbourhoods, good facades are everywhere. All it takes is a keen eye to look out for them. The facade that I am sharing today grabbed all my interest in one go.  Let’s talk about the features that make it so intriguing! 𝗦𝗬𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗥𝗬  A balanced design like this radiates security and peacefulness, with all aspects working in sync. It pays a tribute to traditional architecture while being notably contemporary. 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡  The greens around the balcony aren’t just there to look pretty. They connect the structure with its natural surroundings. 𝗙𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧  The central wooden structure breaks the symmetry of the building. But it catches the attention of onlookers. This structure adds texture and warmth to grab the outsider’s attention.   𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗦𝗧  Playing with different textures like cold and smooth surfaces and structures against warm-looking panels with a touch of greenery makes this building seem inviting and homely. 𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗬  The big and wide windows on the facade are useful for letting sunlight in and creating a feeling of openness. This also makes the building more inviting and comfortable. This facade strikes the perfect chord with me.  It blends the beauty and the practicality of a good facade seamlessly.  Saying something without necessarily having to shout about it— designing beautiful houses that are as comfy as they are grand. Every single facade has something to say.  This one shows balance, nature, and the beauty of simplicity. Drop a comment about what you liked about this facade!  Share your stories about the time you were mesmerized by a facade! A huge shoutout to Sanjay Jethi, the principal architect of Linear Concepts! #Facade #Architecture #ModernArchitecture #BuildingFacades #SustainableDesign #DesignInspiration

Two more Mason-Lite Fireplaces 🔥 🔥 up in Palmetto Bluff, SC. Left photo is Living Room Fireplace Flush Hearth, and the Right photo is Back Patio resting on a Raised Hearth. Both fireplaces finished off with Buff Color Full Face Size Fire Brick Hand ✋️ Laid in a Runningbond Pattern. This is a Great example of our 49" Mason-Lite MFI 🔥 Fireplace using offset blocks to center the masonry chimney inside the chase. We can achieve a 30 degree angle using our metal or Masonry chimneys depending on which option has been requested by architect/builder. There are multiple reasons why one or the other can be a better fit for your specific build needs. Just let us know your final vision goals and we can help steer you in the right direction. #MFMasonry #MFGuys #SCMasonry #luxuryfireplaces #Fireplaces #architecture #design #interiordesign #homedesign #outdoorliving #patio #outdoordesign #runningbond #palmettobluff #fireplacesarethebestplaces #fireplacefocalpoint Conrad French

Incorporating natural elements into architecture can transform a space, adding warmth, character, and a timeless appeal. One such element is the exposed brick wall, a feature that brings a touch of rustic charm and authenticity to any home. Exposed brick walls serve as a stunning backdrop that blends seamlessly with various design styles, from industrial to modern farmhouse. The natural texture and earthy tones of brick create a sense of coziness and warmth, making any room feel inviting and comfortable. Beyond aesthetics, exposed brick walls tell a story. They reveal the history and craftsmanship of the building, adding a layer of depth and uniqueness that new materials can lack. Each brick carries its own character, contributing to a rich, textured ambiance that can’t be replicated. Natural elements like brick also foster a connection with nature, grounding the space and creating a soothing environment. The raw, unfinished look of exposed brick can balance more polished, contemporary elements, creating a harmonious blend of old and new. Would you incorporate an exposed brick wall into your home? #ExposedBrick #NaturalElements #HomeDesign #Architecture #RusticCharm #TimelessDesign #InteriorDesign #WarmAndInviting

DESIGN THREAD # 8 BIOPHILIA Biophilia, biomimicry, and bio-design drive innovations across sectors, including design and architecture. Biophilia starts with the use of patterns, colors, and shapes that echo nature on accessories, furniture, coverings, and finishes. While we derive some benefits from being exposed to representations of nature, we need biophilic design to go deeper. Green walls, green roofs, and green infrastructure are all steps in that direction, and so is the use of natural construction materials. We are a part of nature and cannot survive without it. Our built environment needs to embrace that. Does this design thread resonate with you? * We’ve curated 23 architecture & interior design threads woven throughout the built environment.

As architects, we are always fascinated by how color shapes the atmosphere of a space. Pantone's Color of the Year 2025, Mocha Mousse, is a rich, earthy tone that evokes warmth, comfort, and sophistication. This soft, grounding hue offers a perfect balance between neutrality and depth which is ideal for creating inviting, timeless environments. Mocha Mousse presents possibilities for incorporating natural textures and warm materials. From earthy stone walls to cozy interiors, Mocha Mousse can be the perfect foundation for a space that feels both modern and enduring. I’m intrigued to see how this color will influence architecture and design. What are your thoughts on Mocha Mousse and how would you incorporate it into your projects? #Pantone2025 #ColorOfTheYear #Architecture #DesignTrends #InteriorDesign
