Cement Tile – A San Francisco Treat

Posted on by

Regan Baker Design is a full-service interior design and styling company in the San Francisco Bay area. They transform ordinary homes into spaces that reflect your personality and lifestyle.

Recently, the designers used our cement tile in two gorgeous San Francisco projects.

One of our favorite patterns, Moorish, was used in a Duboce Park home transformation for stylish brewery owners.  The home was designed as an organic modern oasis reflecting a modern aesthetic and sustainable, green conscience lifestyle.

Cement tile is a green, environmentally friendly flooring product, created using basic earth components and a centuries old method. The tiles are colored with natural pigments and do not give off any fumes at all. Minimum energy, except human ‘elbow grease’, is used to make our cement tiles. Cement tiles are completely handmade and never have to be fired in a kiln, which means that the amount of energy used in the manufacturing process is very low. Because no firing is required, no pollution creating fossil fuels are used in the production of the tile. The process does not use any harsh chemicals that might affect the environment.

Our cement tile was also used by Regan Baker Design for a new en-suite master bathroom in a remodel in Noe Valley Beach. The designers used the geometric Liverpool II tile pattern in the Victorian home to add color and visual interest to the space.

Quality Italian – New York City

We were thrilled that our cement and terrazzo tiles were chosen for the recently opened Quality Italian in New York City. Quality Italian was designed by the award winning design firm AvroKO, renowned for designing some of the world’s finest restaurants. It is the latest restaurant from the acclaimed restaurant group, Fourth Wall Restaurants.

Quality Italian is a modern interpretation of the Italian-American Steakhouse. Overseen by Executive Chef Scott Tacinelli, the kitchen riffs playfully off of classic steakhouse fare creating a variety of modern interpretations with Italian accents. The 200 seat restaurant references the Butcher’s Guilds of Italy, responsible for the quality control and production of the finest cuts of meat.

Fourth Wall Restaurants was founded by father‑son restaurateurs Alan and Michael Stillman in 2007. The group is comprised of upscale restaurants in New York City, including the flagship Smith & Wollensky location, Maloney & Porcelli, Park Avenue, The Post House, Quality Meats, and The Hurricane Steak & Sushi.

Or handmade terrazzo tile, Toulouse Red, was used as a distinguishing feature throughout the restaurant.

The downstairs, open to the street, features a bar and shop called Standing Room. The floor of this space uses our Colonial Doble cement tile pattern in custom colors to provide a welcoming entry.

Cement Tile Shop wishes the restaurant much success in the future and we can’t wait to get to New York for an amazing meal!

When the popular Black Bean Deli in Winter Park, FL was looking to open a second location in Orlando, the owners were looking for flooring to match the unique flavor of their Cuban food.

The owners did an amazing job converting an old, rundown gas station into a beautiful, unique and distinctive space.
