Located within the Van der Valk Hotel Houten, in the Netherlands, the New Mexico Suite won strong approval from the jury at the Emilgroup Project Awards 2025, winning the prize in the Creativity category. The project, by Cerriva, illustrated the Emilgroup products’ full potential with original, creative use of the different sizes, transforming the suite into an immersive experience with contemporary design.
Conceived as a destination in its own right within the hotel, the New Mexico Suite surrounds the guest in a warm, enticing ambience that evokes all the glamour of Mexico itself. The Forme collection by Emilceramica, with its inviting shades and refined finishes, gives the interiors a unique personality to ensure that every stay is a genuine sensory journey.

The project is designed around the Forme collection, deployed in different sizes to generate sophisticated, attractive contrasts. The floors and walls were covered with the Rosato shade in the Fondo and Esagona versions, surfaces with warm overtones that give interiors depth and a welcoming mood.
In the bathroom, the alternation of the Rosato and Bianco Assoluto shades defines the various areas with creativity, while the bathtub and washbasin zone is highlighted with glossy, pure Bianco Assoluto Brick surfaces, which dialogue with the matt pinkish tones. This imaginative use of materials and finishes generates an ambience of Mexican vitality, interpreted in a bold, sophisticated mood heightened by the language of contemporary luxury.
