Promotion: the interior of One Za’abeel The Residences, a soon-to-complete skyscraper in Dubai, has been fitted out with ceramic surfaces from Italian brand Fiandre Architectural Surfaces.
Calacatta Statuario, a ceramic surface from Fiandre’s Marble Lab collection, provides flooring, countertops and bathroom surfaces throughout the interior of the 330-metre-high tower.
This ceramic surface, characterised by its ivory-white colour and light grey markings, is used in both the 264 apartments and in the common areas, offering a sense of continuity throughout the scheme.
One Za’abeel The Residences is one of two towers that form the One Za’abeel development, which is designed by Japanese architecture firm Nikken Sekkei.
Combining residential spaces with offices, restaurants, hotels and wellness facilities, the 300-metre-high development consists of two skyscrapers that are connected 100 metres up by a horizontal volume called The Link.
Fiandre’s Calacatta Statuario has been used in different ways throughout the interior of the residential tower.
In the reception lobby, corridors and lifts, large-format tiles provide floor surfaces. Measuring 120 by 60 centimetres and with a polished finish, these tiles are embellished with leaf-shaped brass inlays.
Inside the apartments, the ceramic surfaces have been used in different ways. As well as covering walls and floors in the bathrooms, they have been used to create counters that look like solid marble blocks. The showers are meanwhile lined with small tiles in a herringbone pattern.
The technical surfaces were supplied through a partnership with distributor Arteco Ceramics.
Calacatta Statuario is one of 16 varieties in Fiandre’s Marble Lab, the brand’s most refined collection of ceramic surfaces, which boast either very light or very intense veins.
The other options in the range are: Alpi Chiaro Venato, Arabescato Orobico, Bardiglio Sublime, Breccia Mirabile, Calacatta Bellissimo, Calacatta Dorato, Dark Marquina, Glam Bronze, Lepanto Rubino, Pietra Grey, Premium White, Royal Marfil, Taxos, Travertino and White Beauty.
The surfaces are available in a range of sizes, with either a polished, semi-polished, satin or matt anti-slip finish. As with other Iris Ceramica Group brands, Fiandre’s products are Cradle to Cradle Certified Silver.
