Residential Project in Gordon — Part II

MIAMI

Following the first part of this residential project in Gordon, designed by GULF BUILDING, where we explored the main areas of the home, we now continue with Part II, focused on unveiling new spaces where our high-quality European tiles remain the absolute protagonists.

Outdoor spaces: design, warmth, and durability with tiles

One of the most impressive features of this property is its outdoor area. Designed for relaxation, entertaining, and connecting with the environment, this space has been carefully finished with materials that combine aesthetics, functionality, and resilience.

This outdoor project stands out thanks to its visually striking design, including pool tiles in mosaic that add texture, color, and freshness. Right next to the pool is a relaxing lounge area with sofas, a spectacular barbecue, and flooring entirely made of JURUPA 04 8’’X48’’, a warm and sophisticated wood look tile that replicates the natural beauty of wood while offering all the advantages of porcelain tile.

Unlike real wood, this wood-look porcelain tile is non-porous, moisture-resistant, won’t deteriorate under sun or rain, and is incredibly easy to clean. That’s why it is one of the best outdoor tile options in Miami, both aesthetically and functionally.

Choosing porcelain tile for outdoor flooring ensures durability, safety, low maintenance, and long-term resistance—making it the perfect solution for gardens, patios, and poolside areas.

Cabana with bathroom: integrated design with European style

The outdoor area also includes a fully equipped cabana with an elegant private bathroom. This space features TIVOLI-R MULTICOLOR 18″x48″, a tile rich in texture and color variation—perfect for adding personality in compact areas.

The floor was finished with GLOCAL 02 24″x24″, a neutral-toned and highly versatile European porcelain tile. As a decorative accent, a hydraulic tile from the same series—GLOCAL ENSEMBLE 12″x12″—was added, injecting a sense of rhythm and character without disrupting visual harmony.

Since all the elements are part of the same design line, the result is fully integrated, striking a perfect balance between functionality and contemporary elegance. These kinds of solutions are ideal when you’re looking for modern decorative tiles without compromising cohesion.

Tile-clad stairs: style meets practicality

Back inside the home, we find another standout feature: a staircase fully clad in tile. Once again, JURUPA 04 was chosen, ensuring a smooth transition between outdoor and indoor spaces.

Using tiles for stairs offers multiple benefits: they’re wear-resistant, anti-slip, don’t crack easily with heavy use, and require minimal upkeep. Moreover, using the same outdoor tile like JURUPA 04 for interior staircases reinforces the cohesive visual identity of the home.

Cladding stairs with durable tiles for indoor and outdoor use is a growing trend in high-end residential design, especially in humid climates like South Florida.

Upper floor: visual continuity and weatherproof balconies

Upstairs, the highlight is GLOCAL 02 48″x48″, a large format Italian tile installed throughout all the bedrooms and bathrooms. This tile expands the visual perception of space, creating seamless continuity and a clean, minimalist look.

The master bedroom’s balcony was also finished with JURUPA 04 8″x48″, maintaining visual coherence with the outdoor flooring. Using wood look tile on balconies is an ideal way to preserve the warmth of natural wood with all the benefits of porcelain tile—resistant to sunlight, rain, moisture, and daily wear.

These types of moisture-resistant tiles are perfect for outdoor areas that demand both durability and visual appeal without constant maintenance.
