WAVE VILLA SHOWCASES QUARTZ CARPET’ S SIGNATURE APPEAL
A shining example is Wave Villa in Cape Town, designed by the acclaimed interior-design studio ARRCC. Crowned Residence of the Year at this year’ s World Architecture News( WAN) Awards, this masterpiece nestles at the foot of Lion’ s Head, seamlessly blending into the natural splendour of its surroundings. Spanning 350m ² of external entertainment areas, the villa’ s choice of Quartz Carpet was no coincidence. Its smooth, stone-textured surface flows effortlessly from indoor living spaces to outdoor pool decks, creating visual harmony and a sense of understated luxury.
As one WAN Awards judge noted,“ There is a strong sense of visual connectedness, with the beauty of the surrounding context being highly appreciable and inspiring. It’ s clear that the residents deeply value their engagement with nature.” Quartz Carpet plays a pivotal role in achieving this connection, enhancing the natural palette while offering a functional, high-performance surface.
Beyond aesthetics, Quartz Carpet’ s technical advantages are unmatched. Timeless yet modern, it offers a luxurious underfoot feel while delivering on practical benefits— it’ s slip-resistant, stain-resistant, impact and scratch-resistant, and 100 % UV stable and colour-fast, even under the harshest sun. Certified national applicators ensure quick, neat installations, with the option to apply it directly over existing tiles, eliminating
unsightly grout lines and reducing renovation downtime.
This eco-friendly and sustainable solution is available in a palette of 36 colours and is installed in over 60 countries worldwide and on every continent. Designers appreciate its versatility: whether it’ s a private villa in Cape Town, a chic hotel in the Mediterranean, or a rooftop terrace in Dubai, Quartz Carpet provides seamless indoor-outdoor flow while maintaining its elegant and hygienic surface.
Low maintenance and incredibly durable, it’ s the preferred flooring solution not only for residential and hospitality projects but also for high-traffic commercial and retail environments. Its smooth yet textured finish ensures safety around wet areas, making it ideal for pool decks and entertainment zones where form and function must meet flawlessly.
ARRCC’ s award-winning project is just one in a long list of global landmarks that showcase Quartz Carpet’ s signature appeal— luxurious, enduring, and always in harmony with nature. For designers seeking the perfect balance of beauty, performance, and sustainability, Quartz Carpet remains the definitive choice. www. quartzcarpet. co. za
