A private residential development in Cotonou integrated ELANO marble-effect porcelain tiles as the primary flooring surface across its open-plan living and dining spaces.

The design brief required a surface that could deliver the visual refinement of natural marble while providing the durability and maintenance advantages of high-performance porcelain tile. Large-format ELANO surfaces were selected to create a continuous floor plane across multiple functional zones, including the living room, dining area, and circulation spaces.

The installation emphasized precise alignment and minimal grout visibility to preserve the uninterrupted marble aesthetic. Natural daylight entering through large openings enhances the reflective properties of the polished surface, amplifying spatial brightness and reinforcing the interior’s minimalist architectural character.

The completed interior demonstrates how ELANO porcelain surfaces combine structural durability with refined visual performance, delivering a floor system suitable for modern residential environments where design continuity and long-term reliability are equally important.
