Two Ibis Styles hotels in Bucharest feature bespoke terrazzo
A successful combination of innovative design and award-winning craftsmanship
When hospitality design meets artistic precision, the result is nothing short of spectacular. This is exemplified in two standout projects for Ibis Styles Bucharest: City Center and Erbas. Both locations were transformed through high-level terrazzo craftsmanship, reflecting VIA.ZZO’s commitment to bold aesthetics and technical mastery.
Ibis Styles Bucharest City Center: Brass Rings Pattern Craftsmanship
In this flagship location near Calea Victoriei, via.zzo created a stunning terrazzo floor featuring an intricate pattern of over 8,000 brass rings, each filled by hand with custom terrazzo mixtures. The surface spans over 50 square meters and has become the centerpiece of the hotel’s identity, elevating the space with tactile texture and graphic impact.

– Hand-bent brass rings, laid individually on-site
– Precision-filled terrazzo using colored aggregates
This project represents more than just flooring; it is a design statement that tells a story of precision, patience, and excellence.
Ibis Styles Bucharest Erbas: Industrial Elegance Reimagined
At this northern Bucharest hotel, via.zzo introduced a seamless terrazzo installation without visible dividers, incorporating only strategic expansion joints where necessary. The mixture featured orange, yellow, and clear glass chips, giving the surface a vibrant, translucent quality that softens the strong industrial lines of the space.
