This Year’s HGTV Green Home Giveaway is hitting close to home for Artaic. Not only has does the newly built, earth-friendly abode incorporate a wide variety of sustainable tile, this year it has taken residency in Plymouth, Massachusetts; a short drive from historic Boston – home to ARTAIC’s design studio and robotic mosaic production facility. The 2,100 square foot, shingle-style cottage with wrap-around porch is a symbol of American living; designed with a sustainable approach and appealing aesthetics. The seaside bungalow reflects a traditional/contemporary style and embraces comfort. The eclectic blend of sustainable furnishings and accessories play up the crisp, white interior of the house.

ARTAIC’s attention to details narrows in on the stunning use of sustainable tiles seen throughout the home. Looking at the kitchen, amidst the sea of white cabinetry lays a charming backsplash made of glass tile. The demure colors and simplistic design of the mosaic compliments the kitchen’s sleek appliances and glistening counter-top. Appreciated for more than just their beauty, the mosaic tiles are made from recycled glass, reducing its impact on the environment.

From the functional kitchen to the sensible bathrooms, ARTAIC is inspired by the bright colors of the mosaics and the pairing of glass and ceramic tiles for the floor and shower walls. It is a design detail that adds texture and interest to the surfaces.
Unfortunately, ARTAIC’s mosaics were not featured in this year’s green home but we have a wide range of sustainable mosaic solutions. If you too are inspired after seeing the mosaics here, ARTAIC can help realize your vision. We offer the green option for your mosaic designs, utilizing recycled tile and low energy manufacturing.
