As travellers walk towards the arrival hall after they land, they are greeted by a soothing wall of stone-inspired Pietra Di Chantillonnais tiles from Edilgres. The tiles’ warm natural colours were inspired by limestone found in the Burgundy region of France.

The floor of the baggage claim area and the public areas of the arrival hall is made up of Buxstone tiles from Panaria in hues of Almond, Shell and Clay. The lively design is meant to energise tired travellers, but still be soothing to look at.

Panaria Buxstone tiles were also chosen for the coach bay outside the building to visually link the indoor colour palette with the outdoor areas. The tiles in Shell feature a higher slip resistance of R10 as compared to R9 for the indoor tiles. This is to improve safety in the case of wet weather.

2. Jewel Changi Airport

As the most anticipated mall opening of 2019, Jewel Changi Airport didn’t disappoint. The glass-and-steel complex designed by Safdie Architects and developed by CapitaLand and Changi Airport Group exudes an air of sophistication with its canvas of nature-inspired hues such as sand and stone. RICE is humbled to have supplied tiles to both the public areas and commercial spaces within Jewel. 

Enhancing the lush landscaping in Jewel are the stone-inspired Panaria Basalike tiles in the public restrooms. Soft Grey tiles were used for the walls, and Deep Grey tiles on the floor.

For the Food Hall at basement two, a high traffic area in Jewel, Ergon Grey Controfalda tiles from its Stone Project Collection were chosen for their durability and neutral yet stylish looks.

Privé restaurants are known for their contemporary design-led interiors. The Jewel outlet at the Canopy Park features the unique Mutina Rombini Triangle tiles by the Bouroullec brothers around the service counter for a three-dimensional pattern.

3. OUE Downtown Gallery

Top architect firms DP Architects and SCDA Architects joined forces to convert the former DBS building into a mixed-use development consisting of serviced apartments and office spaces, with retail offerings on the ground level. The lifestyle and retail cluster, named OUE Downtown Gallery, opened in 2017 with a stylish sophisticated city vibe that truly embraces its urban work, live, and play concept.

Adding some shine to the interior colour palette is the reflective Appiani mosaic mix in shades of gold and brass. The neutral-coloured Nomad Papiro Nat porcelain stone tiles on the floor balance out the glitzy look.

In the restrooms, the Appiani Colonial mosaic mix walls echo the aesthetics of the lift area. The light marble-inspired extra matte Atlas Concorde Mv Calacatta floor tiles create a visually spacious look. 

4. Nim Collection

RICE worked with W Architects, helmed by Mr Mok Wei Wei, to customise tiles for the bathrooms of Nim Collection’s 47 houses in phase one of this housing development by Bukit Sembawang Estates Limited. Besides the travertine-inspired tiles, RICE also provided timber-inspired tiles for its open terraces and room balconies, and tiles for the kitchen as well as open yard area.

RICE developed this grey-toned travertine-inspired tile with a tile manufacturer for the bathrooms of the homes in Nim Collection, seen here in the show suite of the project.

Timber-inspired tiles in outdoor areas such as balconies match the tone of the natural timber of the interiors while providing anti-slip qualities with higher durability.
