Guest Blog Post by: I.C.E. House by Jennifer Farrell
At Coverings 2025 in Orlando, attendees stepped inside a visionary feature experience — the I.C.E. House Showhome by Jennifer Farrell — where design innovation met timeless craftsmanship. The immersive showcase sparked inspiration across the tile, stone, and design communities, highlighting how artistry, sustainability, and technology can transform the spaces we live in.
Now, that story continues.
Through this ongoing blog series, Coverings invites you to stay connected to the I.C.E. House journey all year long. Through June 2026, we’ll unveil a new space from this extraordinary project, revealing the materials, collaborations, and creative ideas shaping the “forever home of the future.”
A timeless reinvention in the French countryside: the I.C.E. House Showhome by Jennifer Farrell
In the heart of rural France, a centuries-old stone estate has been reimagined as a “forever home of the future.” The I.C.E. House Showhome by Jennifer Farrell fuses ancient craftsmanship with forward-thinking design — a stunning testament to how history and modernity can coexist in perfect balance.
For the Indy House reveal, Farrell and her collaborators transport viewers into a visual dreamscape brought to life with virtual artistry that captures every nuance of the transformation. The design honors the integrity of the historic structure while introducing sleek, contemporary finishes that feel both daring and inevitable.
Throughout the space, Emser Tile’s Metamor and Eclissi collections set the tone for tactile sophistication — cool stone meets subtle sheen in a play of light and texture. Precision Litokol grout from Tile Doctor ensures each line feels intentional, while Signature Hardware cabinet and door hardware add sculptural polish and a sense of grounded luxury. Grohe kitchen and bath fittings introduce a gleaming, modern sophistication while in the baths, Duravit fixtures and vanities marry sculptural beauty with functional elegance. The beautiful kitchen and bath brands at Indy House are all brought together through the extraordinary offerings of Ferguson Home.
The result is a masterclass in contrast: enduring stone walls that whisper of the past, met by refined modern surfaces that speak of tomorrow. The I.C.E. House is not just a renovation — it’s a reinvention of what it means to live beautifully, for centuries to come.
