Castellón, Spain—Tile of Spain announced the winners of the 2025 Tile of Spain Awards. The brand represents more than 100 ceramic tile manufacturers within the Spanish Ceramic Tile Manufacturers Association. A panel led by architect Julio Touza Rodriguez met at ASCER’s headquarters in Castellón, Spain. Judges selected winners across three categories: Architecture, Interior Design and the Master’s Thesis Project.
Architecture
“Casa Marratxí” by Casas inHAUS
The jury praised “Casa Marratxí” for its use of ceramics within an industrialized construction system. The project uses one material in standard formats across indoor and outdoor areas to reinforce a clear modular concept. Judges noted the unique building shapes and consistent ceramic application, which show how well the material supports prefabricated construction.
“Interventions in the Monastery of Santa María de Sijena” by Pemán y Franco Arquitectos / Sebastián Arquitectos
The project features subtle ceramic paving made of triangular pieces set with a natural feel and slightly separated from the walls. The jury recognized the work as an elegant restoration that enhances the monastery’s character and adds authenticity to the space.

“Brickell Penthouse Miami” by François Guglielmina – TOGU Miami Design
The jury recognized this project for its neo-pop aesthetic inspired by American urban style. Judges highlighted the home’s strong visual identity, quality and sophistication. Natural light acts as another material, interacting with large-format ceramics that brighten the space with mineral texture.
“Boc Beach” by Il Mio Design
The jury admired “Boc Beach” for its bold use of ceramic colors and textures. The project blends varied formats to link interior and exterior areas with a cohesive identity. Judges noted its 1960s “rock and roll” character and said ceramics play a defining role while color anchors the design.

The proposal shows strong understanding of ceramic processes and uses them to guide the spatial sequence. The design organizes a route that revitalizes deteriorated areas of Los Loros, La Gomera. Judges also noted the attention to compositions and patterns, which creates a dynamic environment while honoring traditional architecture and artisan workshops.
