Terrazzo can create captivating designs. Whether you want a floor that is simple and modern or creative with all types of graphics and shapes, terrazzo has you covered. Doyle Dickerson Terrazzo worked on some amazing projects over the years. Here are 10 terrazzo projects with interesting designs that we believe you will enjoy.
1. Mango’s Tropical Cafe
First on the list is one of our most colorful terrazzo projects, using up to 22 different epoxy colors. When Mango’s Tropical Cafe needed a floor that would spice up the Orlando nightlife, Doyle Dickerson Terrazzo was up for the challenge. The interior and exterior space is one of a kind. Upon traveling down the hallways, your eyes are met with intricate details. Swirls, hearts and lips are butterflies are central images displayed in the terrazzo. Approaching the stage, precast stairs guide performers every step of the day. “Come Fall in Love” is Mango’s Tropical Cafe’s slogan and ever since terrazzo was installed, the place is packed with locals and even celebrities. With the amazing display of artwork and the incredible live performances every night, it is hard not to fall in love.

2. American Girl
American Girl has been a top seller in dolls for generations. To give the brand an upgraded look to match this modern era, this project included a terrazzo installation that is sure to drive traffic into the stores for years to come. American Girl is more than a store now. It is an experience. Beyond looking at the collection of doll products the store has to offer, American Girl now allows young girls to have fun with their friends and families in interactive areas such as a salon or bistro. The terrazzo floor sparkles all thanks to the mixture of silver coated glass, ruby reds, cherry reds and white synthetic plastics.

5. USA Women’s and Children’s Hospital Patient Tower
Take it from me. Hospitals are not fun. At all costs, I’m sure people would try to avoid hospitals altogether. But that is not the case. However, by incorporating an interesting design that includes swirls and waves representing an ocean, the terrazzo floor can take patients into a new world. Behind every corner is an elaborate ocean-themed design, which can help alleviate any anxiety about having to see the doctor.

6. Fort Myers Beach Library
Books can widen the imagination. For Fort Myers Beach Library, the imagination expands onto the floor. Libraries are keeping up with the changing architectural trends in order to serve a wider audience. The library went with a beach theme to resemble the city’s lifestyle. When looking at the terrazzo floor, you will be fascinated by the gathering of marine life as fish and dolphins swim across the room. When Fort Myers Beach Library decided to bring terrazzo to its doors, they intend to create a bigger splash with their audience.

When you are high school student, lunch is the one time you can look forward to during the day. With hundreds of students packed in one area, you need a floor that is not only durable but easy to clean up afterwards. John F. Kennedy High School took things one step further and decided to add a mixture of bright epoxy colors with unique lines that flow across the space. It’s definitely a colorful establishment that can help a school distinguish itself from others.

Government buildings can get a upgrade in design as well. Take for instance the Jacksonville City Center of Public Safety, which fills the space with a sense of creativity and professionalism. Upon walking into the building’s lobby, its hard not to notice the colorful shapes marked in the terrazzo floors. As visitors walk up the precast stairs to the second floor, the design has a beautiful aerial view. Throughout the hallways, the white terrazzo floors give it a clean simple look but also uses color to guide traffic down the hallways.
