Bringing Functionality and Beauty Together in Floors and Pavements
BY GRAPHIC CONCRETE
05.02.2025
When designing floors and pavements, functionality is essential—ensuring surfaces are safe, durable, and slip-resistant. But functionality doesn’t mean compromising on aesthetic. With Graphic Concrete, it’s possible to achieve both: creating visually striking designs while maintaining practical performance.
In this special infrastructure edition of our newsletter series, we are excited to showcase projects where Graphic Concrete technology has been applied to floors and pavements. These references highlight the extensive possibilities that Graphic Concrete offers for combining durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal across diverse environments. Discover how Graphic Concrete transforms ordinary surfaces into extraordinary design statements—without sacrificing performance.
Ymere Eenhoorn Circuit Amsterdam, Amsterdam
The Ymere Eenhoorn Circuit project features a remarkably interesting entrance resembling a real racing car circuit. Every small detail of the design, including the lines on the concrete ground slabs, enhances the building, making it more intriguing and dynamic.
Atago Hotel, Chiba
Atago Hotel has great geometric patterns on its pavement tiles, preventing slipperiness and adding an interesting look.
Les Jardins Botaniques, Paris
Beautiful and elegant patterns guide visitors to the botanical garden. Flowers and leaves are illustrated well on the concrete surfaces.
Smart Innovation Ecosystem Novare, Tokyo
It is a good example of using simple patterns and reserving sufficient exposed surfaces on the pavement.
Tikkurila Station Unverpass, Vantaa
The patterns were imparted from the concrete pavements to the metal walls in the train stations.
Karlstad City, Walking Streets on Equal Terms, Sweden
Creating patterns would not only give aesthetic merits, but it could also be a way to deliver a message. Karlstad City, Walking Street project has illustrated the message on Equal Terms with Graphic Concrete.
Töölönlahti Park Paver, Helsinki
The special features on Töölönlahti Park Paver present the old map of the neighbourhood. It brings nostalgic memories of the residences.
Jelling Monuments, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Denmark
The Jelling Monuments are considered Europe’s finest Viking Age monuments and these have been nominated as UNESCO World Heritage patronage. Concrete slabs on the ground form a path for hundreds of newly erected white concrete pillars that encircle the entire site, marking the approximate location of the original wooden stockade.
