Designers: MVE+ Partners Inc.
Location: Durham, North Carolina, USA
The 2025 Coverings winner for Commercial Ceramic Tile Installation & Design goes to Johnson Lexus ArtWork and Craftmanship, installed by Art Tile of NC and Designed by MVE+ Partners Inc. This Johnson Lexus Dealership remodel redefined luxury with the expert installation of over 10,000 square feet of premium porcelain tile. For this Lexus dealership, durability and artistry were key factors in selecting the right tile. The porcelain tiles chosen for the project were not only strong and resilient but also designed to maintain their pristine condition over time. The team meticulously leveled the concrete slab, correcting a four-inch discrepancy with 500 bags of self-leveling compound. The finished showroom features a precise wheel- patterned design, aligned with the ceiling using laser-guided techniques. Completed in just 30 days, this project showcases innovation, technical expertise, and the Lexus brand’s commitment to luxury.
