Commissioned by the Spanish Association of Tile and Ceramic Flooring Manufacturers, architect Héctor Ruiz-Velázquez designed this apartment with — on the floor, the walls and even the ceiling.
Many of the wide plank tiles (all the rage in Europe) used are designed to resemble woodgrain, another hot trend in ceramic tile. In this instance the woodgrain pattern and texture warms up the super-cool white tiles. The addition of a sleeping loft takes advantage of the high ceilings and are another area architect Hector Ruiz-Velazquez can use Spanish ceramic tiles!

Where do I find wide plank ceramic tile and how expensive is it?
... the writing is a bit broken in this entry.
I do like the look of the plank tiles; I find myself hoping they don't have all that much actual texture, though; seems like any crevices would get dirty faster and stay that way.
@mlme: Try Build Direct, I've been perusing their site because I've been thinking about redoing my floors. Unfortunately, you have to buy in enormous quantities from them.
They even have a style that looks very similar to the tile featured above.
