This home is about materials more than it is about what one typically expects from design. The choices have been made very carefully, and so it's natural that tile be an element that also grounds the solidity of the spaces while adding a decorative element that the other materials don't.

The mix of green patterns on the side of the kitchen counter create a lighter visual interest where there would otherwise be a solid mass that wouldn't balance out the solid column to the right. In all the spaces, the tile has been fitted together pretty tightly so that grout lines are not prevalent, allowing the variation in surface texture and color of the tiles to create the depth and pattern in the installations.

The looseness and irregularity of shape fits with the rest of the spaces, from the wooden reed ceiling to the plaster walls. Greens are a common hue, and in the bathroom the subtle pattern of different shades of green create a charming pattern band across the room.
