JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa: luxurious and timeless simplicity

Creative

floors made with porcelain stoneware tiles that look like weaved rugs are the distinctive feature of this luxurious Hotel.

From the masterplan to the recovery of existing buildings, the intervention on the JW Marriot Venice Resort & Spa by Matteo Thun & Partners + Luca Colombo was constantly inspired by a holistic vision and considered as a harmonious whole, paying attention to every single detail. The flooring was designed to recreate the old wooden flooring of the restaurant in the former National Recreational Club. The 10x60 cm porcelain stoneware strip tiles in four pastel colours (Architecture Warm Grey and White, Unicolore Acquamarina and Rosa Antico), laid in a herringbone pattern using the Italian method (i.e. placed in such a way as to form a perfect 90-degree angle) create an effect that hints at weaved rugs and broaden the creative possibilities of ceramic.
