Anthony Belluschi Architects’ renovation of the 1.3 million-square-foot Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale, IL has been chosen winner of the Ceramic Tiles of Italy Design Award for its consummate use of porcelain tile. Anthony Belluschi led the project team, which specified Italian modular tiles, adhesives and grouts to create bold patterns in rich earth tones. The project also included interactive sculptures, large fountains and painted tile murals.

Assopiastrelle, in cooperation with the Italian Trade Commission, sponsors the Ceramic Tiles of Italy Design Award to recognize superior achievement by North American architects or interior designers who use Italian ceramic tile in commercial or residential installations.
